Description:Acquisition of spatial terms in Marquesan; the session shows the interaction between two children by performing the Farm Animals photo-object matching task; the Director of the game is (6;2) and the Matcher (8;4); the surroundings are semi-familiar to the children; the session is recorded during the day; Director explain photo 17; gaze of direction is AROSS (direction Hakataó); Director confuses sea and ínland terms quite systematically: inland direction is 'tai' and seaward direction is 'uta'; later on after being corrected by by-standing children he uses a different strategy to infer where inland and seaward is;
The project investigates the acquisition of Marquesan spatial terms with a particular focus on the acquisition of an absolute system of SEAWRD/INLAND/ACROSS; the absolute system is the preferred spatial system by speakers of Marquesan when talking about spatial relations; children's ages range from 3 to 14 years;
This file was generated from an IMDI 1.9 file and transformed to IMDI 3.0. The substructure of Genre is replaced by two elements named "Genre" and "SubGenre". The original content of Genre substructure was: Interactional = 'conversation', Discursive = 'explanation', Performance = 'instruction'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
Acquisition of spatial terms in Marquesan; the session shows the interaction between two children by performing the Farm Animals photo-object matching task; the Director of the game is (6;2) and the Matcher (8;4); the surroundings are semi-familiar to the children; the session is recorded during the day; Director explain photo 17; gaze of direction is AROSS (direction Hakataó); Director confuses sea and ínland terms quite systematically: inland direction is 'tai' and seaward direction is 'uta'; later on after being corrected by by-standing children he uses a different strategy to infer where inland and seaward is; internal array is correctly reconstructed, but the position of the objects do not correspond to how the objects on the photo are related to the real landmarks; this might have happened because the children often change their position during the game and they seem to memorise the array, and therefore are not paying attention to how the objects are related to the landmarks
North Marquesan is spoken on the north-western part of the Marquesan archipelago in French Polynesia; MRQ is an Oceanic language of the Austronesian language family. Within the Eastern Oceanic branch MRQ belongs to the Proto-Central-Eastern subgroup of Proto-Eastern Polynesian (Pawley 1966; Green 1966). MRQ is most closely related to South Marquesan (QMS), Hawaiían and Mangarevan forming the Proto Marquesic subgroup which is distinct from Proto Tahitic (e.g. Tahitian, Rarotongan, Tuamotuan). The Marquesan speech community is bilingual (French-Marquesan); French is the language of instruction in schools. Both Marquesan languages are highly endangered languages because parents and caretakers cease to transmit the indigenous languages to their children. In the most urbanised areas of the Marquesas (Taiohaé, Hakahau, Atuona) where approximately 70 % of the population of the archipelago lives, most children under age 15 have acquired French as their first language.
The data was collected during Cablitz' field trips between 1997 and 1999; Cablitz collected the child data on Úa Pou island in the valleys of Hakamaíí and Haákuti
