Description:In this session two consultants converse in one of the Marquesan trick languages ('eo tepeteateo etc.). It is a trick language which originates from Hiva 'Oa in the South Marquesas.
The project documents several different aspects of the Marquesan culture (legends, narratives, food preparation, plant medicine, fishing techniques, Marquesan trick languages, songs, dances etc.)
There were two other person present during the recording: Mi's wife and Ke's granddaughter.
TB grew up on Nuku Hiva, but have been living on 'Ua Pou since she turned 17. TB is a fluent bilingual often engaging in French-Marquesan code-switching. In cultural indigenous matters TB was well educated by her father who was born in 1901 and who was very knowledgable about old Marquesan customs, songs, stories etc..
GC is responsable for the Marquesan DOBES project and does all the data collection, data processing and annotation.
Mi was born in 1930 and grew up on the island of Nuku Hiva in Ho'oumi with his adoptive father Moa (born in 1901). Mi does not speak French and did not go to school; however, he is not illiterate. Mi is one of the few persons on the Marquesas islands who have a considerable knowledge of the former Marquesan culture, in particular of songs, legends/narratives and dances. He is also one of the few people who can speak Marquesan trick languages fluently. Most of his cultural knowledge was transmitted by his adoptive father.
Ke is the most fluent speaker of three Marquesan trick languages which she learnt in Taipivai where she originates from. Ke does not speak French.
