Description:Recording of one hour radio broadcast in Totoli. First there is a discussion about BPMD (Badan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Desa), listeners are invited to ask questions. The second part of the show includes a quiz about the place of a local school and the name of it's headmaster. Because the tape had to be turned, there are some seconds missing in about the middle of the session.
Totoli ist eine Sprache, die im nördlichen Zentral-Sulawesi gesprochen wird. Obwohl sie üblicherweise als eine Sprache der Tomini-Tolitoli Gruppe bezeichnet wird, ist ihre genetische Abstammung unklar. Sie besitzt einige einzigartige strukturelle Charakteristika, die eine besondere Rolle in der Geschichte der austronesischen Valenzsysteme spielen (voice and applicatives). Obwohl die Sprechergemeinschaft heute eine muslimische Gesellschaft ist, die sich an den Werten des modernen indonesischen Mainstreams orientiert, haben die älteren Sprecher eine Reihe von Sprechritualen früherer Kulturformen bewahrt; dazu gehört auch eine Form eines verbalen Kampfes, der "Lelegesan" genannt wird. In diesem Projekt wird besonderes Gewicht auf die Einbeziehung von Daten aus Konversation in die Dokumentation gelegt, da dieses Genre meist in den Dokumentationen von Minoritätensprachen in Indonesien fehlt. Ein anderes Ziel ist die Vermittlung von Kompetenz im Bereich der Sprachdokumentation durch lokale und nationale Workshops in Indonesien.
Totoli is a language of northern Central Sulawesi still spoken by at most 5000 speakers. Although it is commonly named as a member of the Tomini-Tolitoli group, its genetic affiliation is unclear. It has some apparently unique structural characteristics which are of central importance to the history of Austronesian valency changing systems (voice and applicatives). While the Totoli speech community nowadays is a Muslim society adhering to the values and aspirations of the modern Indonesian mainstream, the older speakers still master a broad variety of verbal arts, including a form of verbal battling called “lelegesan”. In this project a special effort is being made to include conversational materials in the documentation as this genre is mostly missing in the existing documentations of minority languages in Indonesia. Another aim is a contribution to capacity building in the domain of language documentation through local and national workshops in Indonesia.
Recording of one hour radio broadcast in Totoli. First there is a discussion about BPMD (Badan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Desa), listeners are invited to ask questions. The second part of the show includes a quiz about the place of a local school and the name of it's headmaster. Because the tape had to be turned, there are some seconds missing in about the middle of the session. Only short sections in Indonesian.
There were several listeners calling (including GR and WN). During recording there were also present UH and Hj. Hasnawati.
Pak Ikhsan is a gvernment employee in Nalu, he works as the sekretary of the local village chief. He often is invited to speak at traditional Totoli weddings, because he is known as a fluent speaker who also knows the adat istiadat very well.
CL is PhD student in this documentation project and conducts most of the fieldwork in Indonesia.
GR is husband to Hasnawati S. Alamudi, and thus brother-in-law of WN
WN is last but one of seven siblings. Unmarried in 2005. Has been living in Palu for the last 8-10 years. Both parents are Totoli but at home mostly Indonesian was used. He has a reasonably good passive competence in Totoli, but active competence somewhat limited. Son of Salim Alamudi, brother of Hasnawati S. Alamudi, brother-in-law of Gusti Rahmat
Hj. Moh. Ismail Bantilan is the head of the BPMD (Badan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Desa) Tolitoli, an organisation for the empowerment of village population.
