Title:Wïta on Postpositions
Wita_Postpositions
Analysis and Description of the Tiriyó language
Contributor:Sérgio Meira

Coverage:Suriname

Description:Guided elicitation on postpositions with Wïta.
A project for the analysis and description of the Tiriyó language, based on fieldwork. It started in 1993 (under Dr. Spike Gildea's Northern Brazilian Cariban Languages Documentatino Project, NSF grant DBS-9210130) and continues to the present.
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 = 'conversation', Discursive = 'explanation', Performance = 'narrative'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
In this session, Sérgio tries to obtain information on locative postpositions by prompting Wïta to produce a number of spatial configurations with small toy objects. Questions are asked and answered as the session goes by.
Only Tiriyó was used hroughout the session.
Sérgio asks Wïta to place objects so as to illustrate locative postpositions (e.g. 'if X is on top of Y, what will it look like?' etc.). Wïta places the objects. Sérgio asks further questions, and Wïta answers.
Sérgio Meira is the main researcher in the Tiriyó descriptive project.
Wïta is an H-Tiriyó speaker, born (and residing) in Kwamara (Suriname). He is a very smart and dependable guy. It is a pleasure to work with him.
Sérgio Meira is also the researcher responsible for the project on the analysis and description of the Tiriyó language.
