Description:This session concerns spontaneous data in Tarifit-Berber, of the child Adil. Therefore is a picture book used (see content).
The present data are collected in the framework of the project of E-rramdani (1998-2003), conducted at Tilburg University. The study was concerned with language proficiency in Tarifit-Berber, of children in grade 1and 8 in primary school in the Netherlands, compared to their peers in Morocco. The question addressed was: How does grammatical proficiency manifest itself among Tarifit speaking children? Focus is on the acquisition of morphology and word order. The spontaneous data listed here were not analysed and reported on in the thesis of E-rramdani (2003).
Data were collected on the basis of 7 pictures without text. Picture 1: It shows a fat boy with two pieces of breed in his hands, walking in a path in a park. He is busy eating the piece of bread at the left hand. He is smiling. At the side of the small path, there is a thin man, greeting the fat boy by holding his chapeau. He has one hand in his pocket. The picture shows two trees, one at the right side and the other one at the left side, both of them showing only half. There is a nest with baby-birds in on the tree on the right side,. The mother was flying closer to them with a worm in its beak. At the back of the picture, close to the path at the side of the thin man, there are two flowers and a tortoise smiling. The tortoise is moving far from the two flowers. Picture 2: There are two houses, the one on the left side is fat, while the other one on the left side is thin. Both houses have two eyes (windows), eyelash, one nose and one mouth. The fat house has two big chicks. The mouth and door of the fat house is shut, while those of the thin house are open. There is smoke coming out of the fat house. Picture 3: A man is in a boat in the sea. He is busy sweeping the floor of the boat, using a sweeper and water from a bucket. He has no shoes on. In the sea, there are 4 smiling fish, two of them are jumping in water, and the others are swimming. Picture 4: There is a girl dancing. She has a long dress on, one bracelet on each arm, holding one flower in the right hand. She has a long hair. Picture 5 and 6 are on the same page. Picture 5: Showing a king with a crown on his head, busy eating. He has a chicken on his dish. He has a knife in the right hand, and holding a chicken's leg in the left hand. There is a dog sitting behind the table at the left side of the king. You can see only the dog�s eyes and nose. The dog is looking at the king with the corner of its eyes. There are two apples on the table. Picture 6: The servant comes to the king with a dish with two apples in it. The servant stands at the right side of the king. The king stretches his hand to take one apple. At that time, the dog grasps the chicken with its mouth. Picture 7: The king looked at his dish: no chicken! Surprised. He dropped the fruit. The king�s eyes and mouth are widely open. The dog is sitting on a taboret next to him, opening the right side eye and closing the other one. END
Berber is a Hamito-semitic language. It is one of the two major mother tongues in Morocco. It comprises three main regional varieties, known as Tarifit in the Northeast of Morocco, Tamazight in the Middle Atlas mountains, and Tashelhit in the High Atlas, Anti-Atlas mountains, and the Sous-valley. Divergence among these varieties occurs primarily at the level of phonology and lexicon. A fact which happens to make mutual intelligibility hardly possible. Tarifit-Berber makes the subject matter of the present data.
She is the second student assistent, charged of data collection with children of grade 1 in the Netherlands. She is originally from the same region the children, grew up in the Netherlands. She studied psychology at the university of Tilburg.
