Description:J. gives folk definitions of the meanings of Goemai words (in Goemai).
The Goemai project is part of a PhD project (begun in August 1998). There are two aims to this project: (1) To investigate the semantics and pragmatics of locative verbs and derived elements. Most of the collected experimental data is concerned with this topic. (2) To document the Goemai language in form of a reference grammar, a dictionary and an annotated text corpus.
This file was generated from an IMDI 1.9 file and transformed to IMDI 3.0. The substructure of Genre is replaced by two elements named "Genre" and "SubGenre". The original content of Genre substructure was: Interactional = '', Discursive = '', Performance = ''. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
J. gives folk definitions of the meanings of Goemai words (in Goemai). I gave him Goemai words, and asked him to define them in Goemai, give explanations and examples, etc. The idea behind this collection is (a) to get some idea of speaker's definitions and default interpretation of words and (b) to maybe re-use some of the definitions for a Goemai-Goemai dictionary.
Goemai is the only language used in the recording, and also in the previous instructions given by me (not on the recording).
J. is one of my main collaborators in Kwande (since winter 1998). He acts as a consultant, but also helps to establish and organize new contacts. He was born in Kwande (ca. 1977), and he also grew up there. Both his parents are Goemai. He has never left the area. He is the older brother of L.
This tier ('ort') contains an orthographic transcription. I use an adapted version of Sirlinger's practical orthography.
the recording is on tracks 25-57 of the Minidisk
