Description:Two adult speakers of Marquesan aged 19 and 14 perform the object-object matching task called the Farm Animals game (Danziger & Hill 1993). Each interaction is played with two players, one being the Director (=D (age 19)) and one being the Matcher (=M (age 14)). Both players are seperated by a screen and gaze in the same direction. The Director has to explain an array of toy objects to the Matcher. The Matcher has to construct the array of objects by following the Director's instructions. The original task is a photo-object matching task; this sometimes showed to be leading to problems (due to the way the Director holds the photo) and the reference is not always clear. That is the reason why the researcher changed the task to an object-object task. Photo 15 is described. The direction of gaze is seaward.
The project investigates how speakers of Marquesan refer to space. The project includes recordings of interactive tasks such as the Farm Animals game, Route Descriptions as well as numerous elicitations (e.g. placement tasks, Come & Go task (Wilkins 1993) as well as the analysis of the narrative material and other natural texts.
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 = 'instruction'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
North Marquesan is spoken on the north-western part of the Marquesan archipelago in French Polynesia; MRQ is an Oceanic language of the Austronesian language family. Within the Eastern Oceanic branch MRQ belongs to the Proto-Central-Eastern subgroup of Proto-Eastern Polynesian (Pawley 1966; Green 1966). MRQ is most closely related to South Marquesan (QMS), Hawaiían and Mangarevan forming the Proto Marquesic subgroup which is distinct from Proto Tahitic (e.g. Tahitian, Rarotongan, Tuamotuan). The Marquesan speech community is bilingual (French-Marquesan); French is the language of instruction in schools. Both Marquesan languages are highly endangered languages because parents and caretakers cease to transmit the indigenous languages to their children. In the most urbanised areas of the Marquesas (Taiohaé, Hakahau, Atuona) where approximately 70 % of the population of the archipelago lives, most children under age 15 have acquired French as their first language.
Hina is married to a French man and therefore speaks French constantly. Hina grew up in the valley of Haákuti.
He is now in the 'college' (=secondary school) in Hakahau (Úa Pou), but he grew up in the valley of Haákuti. On weekends he returns to his valley.
The data was collected during Cablitz' field trips between 1995 and 1999; Cablitz collected the adult data on Nuku Hiva and Úa Pou island in the valleys of Hakahau, Hakahetau Hakamaíí and Haákuti (=Úa Pou) and Taiohae and Hatiheú (=Nuku Hiva)
