Description:This is a list of birds, spoken by 085, which has been recorded at the sound studio of the linguistic department of the Museu Goeldi. The procedure is as follows: first the Portuguese name of the bird is given by Sebastian, then 085 pronounces the corresponding name in Awetí twice, once in a normal way, once very slowly. It sometimes happens that the Awetí name has to be spoken by Sebastian due to a tabu which prohibits 085 to pronounce this specific name since it is identical with the name of a relative (an in-law).
This project aims at the documentation of the Awetí Language and aspects of the Awetí culture. Awetí is a tupian language of a small speech community of the same name at the southern edge of the Amazon rain forest, in the Xingú reserve, Mato Grosso, central Brazil. The project was funded December 2000--April 2006 by the VolkswagenStiftung in the Documentation of Endangered Languages Programme (DOBES). The principal researcher, Sebastian Drude, initianted his research among the Aweti in 1998. Sabine Reiter participated as a freelancer in 2001 and as research assistant (including conducting field research) from 2002 on. The Awetí participated intensively in the project. At least one person of each houshold provided individual texts, the community agreed to be documented in day-to-day activities and during special events such as rituals. Several Awetí got involved in the further processing of the documentation data, especially by assisting in the creation of transcriptions and translations during the 9 field trips and in 8 visits of two to three speakers in Belém or Canarana.
Standardised taping in the audio lab of the Museu Goeldi. Previously elicited lists of words are prompted in Portuguese are spoken twice by the consultant. The list of bird names had been previously elicited in the village.
SD gives portuguese prompts, 085 utters in response two times the term in question in Awetí.
