| Description: | Man and tree game. Man and tree game. This resource was created by the MPI to elicit directionals. It is played as a director-matcher game with the director holding a board with the man and tree pictures in front of her. She then described a picturer to the matcher who had a set of loose identical cards. The matcher hears an utterance and matches it to the appropriate picture. The aim of this paradigm is to prevent speakers from using demonstratives and gestures. She uses few cardinal directions but landmarks up to 8km away. She is facing south and Leanne is the matcher. Leanne is sitting to her right. Cassandra is 26 yr old. We are sitting at the corner of Daguragu Council office at Riverside | |
| This project is funded by the Hans Rausling Endangered Language Program (ELDP) for a period of two years (2008-2010). The aim of the project is to produce a Gurindji Kriol grammar and dictionary as well as a set of annotated sound-linked texts. This project has also involved the continuing documentation of Gurindji (dictionary and texts), as one of Gurindji Kriol's source languages. Gurindji Kriol (GK) is an endangered mixed language (ML) spoken in Australia. It fuses Gurindji (Pama-Nyungan), with Kriol (English-lexifier) to create a unique system. GK is an important language to younger Gurindji people, entailing both modern and traditional Aboriginal ideologies. It is also significant linguistically, displaying a rarely observed mixed structure. GK provides a unique opportunity to document a ML. MLs often represent a prolonged stage of language change which precedes language shift. Thus the existence of MLs often goes by unobserved. In the case of GK, documentation is urgently required, with Kriol finding increasing currency with Gurindji teenagers. The project was administered by the University of Manchester from October 2008 to November 2009, and by the University of Queensland from December 2009 to October 2010. It is conducted in collaboration with the Diwurruwurru-Jaru Aboriginal Corporation, an Aboriginal Language Centre based in Katherine (N.T.), and includes community members as trainees and co-investigators. The principal investigator of the project is: Felicity Meakins (Manchester/UQ). It has also benefited from input from Erika Charola (consultant linguist) and Eva Schultze-Berndt (University of Manchester). http://www.hrelp.org/grants/projects/index.php?projid=159 | ||
| We started on the highway near Spice Creek collecting bush tea (pujtilip). Then we went to the other side of the highway looking for 'tirnung' which is the sap of bloodwood 'jartpurru' tree. We couldn't find any. We headed back to Kalkaringi and got some 'lawa' and 'yirrijkaji' from the side of the highway near the first bridge. Afterwards we got some firewood from the side of the Daguragu road in two places. | ||
