| Description: | ENGLISH: Data obtained with a Trumai consultant, who was sometimes helped by her brother. The data consists of clauses describing the postures of a person, animal, or object in a particular kind of ground. For the elicitation, the researcher used real entities (a person, a dog, a chicken, a parrot) and objects (ball, potato, stick, a piece of rope, bottle, pan, glass, bowl, spoon, knife, a dress, a little of salt, water, broom, ring, scissors, shoes, necklace, plants). Sometimes drawings were also used (for the postures of turtles, snakes, toads, cockroaches). ----- PORTUGUÊS: Dados obtidos com uma informante Trumai, que foi auxiliada em alguns momentos pelo irmão. Os dados consistem de orações descrevendo as posturas de uma pessoa, animal ou objeto em um determinado tipo de local. Para a elicitação, a pesquisadora usou entidades reais (uma pessoa, um cachorro, uma galinha, um papagaio) e objetos reais (bola, batata, vara, um pedaço de corda, garrafa, panela, copo, tigela, colher, faca, um vestido, um pouco de sal, água, vassoura, anel, tesoura, sapatos, colar, plantas). Às vezes desenhos foram também utilizados (para as posturas de tartarugas, cobras, sapos, baratas). | |
| 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. | ||
| The researcher investigated how Trumai speakers describe postures. In Trumai, posture verbs are used not only for animate entities (human and animals), but for inanimate ones as well. However, the verbs used for a particular entity varies depending on the physical characteristics of the entity (i.e., its dimensions). | ||
| The examples are in the Trumai language. They are translated into Portuguese. | ||
| The data was provided by a native speaker of Trumai (Speaker3), who was sometimes helped by her brother (Speaker2). | ||
| Speaker3 is a native speaker of Trumai. She lives in the Terra Preta village, in the central area of the Xingu Reserve. Both her parents were Trumai. Speaker3 lived in the Kamayurá village for many years, when she was still married. Nowadays she is separated, living with her daughter and son. She is middle-aged. | ||
| Speaker2 is considered one of the best speakers of the Trumai language. He also has strong knowledge about various aspects of the Trumai culture. He has been living in the city of Canarana since 1996, because of health problems. He lives with his wife and kids. Both his parents were Trumai. Speaker2 is married to a Kamayurá woman, who also speaks Trumai. He is middle-aged, has various kids and grand-kids. | ||
| 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). | ||
| The data was registered through notes. There is no audio recording. | ||
