Description:		The Teop documentation project entails annotated recordings of legends and narratives and dialogues on the culture and the local history of the Teop community in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. All text recordings are transcribed and rendered in an orthography based on the Latin alphabet, and accompanied by an English translation as well as comments on the ethnographic background and interesting linguistic features. Some texts are also accompanied by an interlinear morphemic translation (word-by-word translation). The transcriptions of the legends and a number of recordings on cultural and historical topics have been edited by Teop native speakers to provide reading materials for the speech community [see archive] . This community edition is accompanied by a free English translation and a so-called linguistic edition that contains the edited version, a literal English translation, a number of glossed texts and linguistic comments in order to provide extensive data for future research on the development of a written language. The second major component of the project is the Teop lexical database that contains all words found in the recordings and editions, as well as independently collected words together with examples and grammatical information. The lexical database is accompanied by a gallery of photographs, drawings, and video clips. In addition, the documentation contains a sketch grammar, an explorative study of Teop phonology, and an index. The project has been funded by the VolkswagenStiftung since September 2000.
		The men of Kiviri, a village at the edge of Numanuma, go fishing at night. A sea spirit joins them and offers help to a man who does not have a partner. When the man caught a lobster and put it into the canoe, the spirit who sits at the back crunches the lobster. Later, the man realises that he has taken a demon on board and he tries to escape. The men stand up a bamboo pole and try to fool the demon by making him paddle further away. When the demon realises that he has been fooled, he chases the man. In the end the spirit changes into a small white insect that lives underground. Today, when you stand at this place at Numanuma, you cannot see the edge of the Teoboo-reef, because it extends up to the place where the demon disappeared underground.
		Teop is an Oceanic language that is spoken in the north-east of the island of Bougainville, in the Tinputz District of the autonomous North Solomons Province of Papua New Guinea. It belongs to the Nehan-North Bougainville network of the North-West Solomonic Group of the Meso-Melansesian Cluster. (Ross 1988)
