Description: | ENGLISH: Conversation between an old woman and her grandchildren, talking about the villages where the old woman lived, her first trip to a city, and the first time she saw Whitemen. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Conversa entre uma mulher idosa e os netos, falando as aldeias onde ela viveu, a primeira viagem a uma cidade, e a primeira vez em que ela viu homens "brancos". | |
The purpose of the project is to document Trumai, a genetically isolate language spoken in Brazil. The archive consists of a collection of texts in the language, plus other kinds of materials relative to the Trumai culture, such as photos, drawings, songs, educational materials, etc. | ||
An old woman and her grandchildren chat about events that happened in her life, in special her first trip to a city outside the Xingu reserve and her first contacts with Whitemen. | ||
The speakers talk in Trumai. | ||
The conversation involves four Trumai speakers: an old woman (Speaker5), two young women (Speaker7 and Speaker8) and a man (Speaker9). | ||
Speaker8 is a native speaker of Trumai. Her mother is Trumai, her father is Waurá. She was married for a while; nowadays she is separated, living with her parents and her little son. | ||
Speaker9 is a native speaker of Trumai. His mother is Trumai, his father is Waurá. Speaker9 writes well in Trumai; he is also an artist, producing beautiful drawings and paintings. | ||
Speaker5 is the oldest Trumai speaker alive. She lives with one of her grand-daughters. Her husband was Kamayurá. Speaker5 has never learned to speak Portuguese, and for this reasons all her children grandchildren had to learn Trumai, in order to communicate with her. They claim that the Trumai variety that Speaker5 speaks is a little different from the variety they speak nowadays (Speaker5 uses archaic terms and old expressions). She is an old woman (70 or more). | ||
Raquel is a Brazilian linguist. She has been working with the Trumai people since 1989. She has a Ph.D. in Linguistics from Rice University (Houston, Texas, U.S.A). | ||
Speaker7 is a native speaker of Trumai. Her mother is Trumai, her father is Kamayurá. She is married to a Kayabi man, and has a little daughter. She is a school teacher and is engaged in the educational program that is trying to revitalize the language. Speaker7 has worked in the production of educational materials; she teaches Trumai to her students. | ||
