Description:083 informs formally and in full ornament about manioc. He is positioned towards the camera, Sebastian is directing the microphone to him. There are few, if any, other people around, and they do not interact with the speaker, nor does Sebastian during the telling. The recording took place under the outside roof of the (white men's) guest's house. This session was to contain the myth of the origin of manioc, as combined between the brazilain porjects. However, it turned out that 083 did not tell a myth, but more a mixture of genres, principally a procedural description about manioc. So we did not process it any further.
This project aims at the documentation of the Awetí Language, a tupian language of a small speech community in central Brazil. It is funded for 2000/2001 by the VolkswagenStiftung in the Documentation of Endangered Languages Programme. The principal researcher, Sebastian Drude, initianted his research among the Awetí in 1998.
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 = 'Procedure', Performance = ''. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
Sebastian asks 083 (in Portuguese), before the beginning of the session proper, to tell him about the beginning of the manioc, and thanks him after Kal. has finished the story (both not included in the session proper). The performance of 083 itself is exclusively in Awetí, directed more to the camera than to Sebastian.
Performance by the native speaker is in Awetí, the introductory and concluding dialogues between the researcher and the speaker are mainly in Brazilian Portuguese.

083 is one of the few elders of the village. His father was the last chief, and he is also considered to be a (at least, secondary) chief by many members of the community. He is the most prestigeous story teller living in the village today, and one of the most powerful shamans, too.
