Description:Data Elicitation session using the "Trajectoire Matériel vidéo pour élicitation des données linguistiques" DVD. This DVD contains three versions of a series of short naturalistic video clips showing real people's movements in a natural setting as well as some filler clips to divert the speaker's attention. Here it is a session of clips 31-47: 31Path_F_walk_outof_woods_sideRL 32Path_C_run_toward_stone_jump_over_stone_front 33Path_M_walk_across_bridge_walk_front women_back 34Filler_F_pour_water 35Path_F_run_awayfrom_tree_front 36Path_M_walk_out_cave_pass_walk_into_cave_side 37Path_F_ walk_across _path_sideLR 38Path_M_walk_into_woods_back 39Path_M_run_up_from_river_back 40Path_F_walk_outof_cave_front 41Filler_M_read_book 42Path_F_walk_up_stairs_front 43Filler_F_fold_cloth 44Path_F_walk_outof_cave_up_stairs_back 45Path_C_walk_down_path_front 46Path_F_walk_into_cave_back 47Path_F_walk_front_tree_sideRL
This project is funded by the Endangered Languages Programme (DOBES) of the VW Foundation for a period of three years (August 2005-July 2008). The aim of the project is a documentation of the linguistic and cultural knowledge of the remaining speakers of several language varieties belonging to two language groups. The Jaminjungan group consists of Jaminjung and Ngaliwurru (which are closely related) as well as Nungali (now no longer spoken). Languages of the Eastern Ngumpin group are Gurindji, Ngarinyman, Bilinarra, and Mudburra, as well as a mixed language, Gurindji Kriol. These varieties (and in addition English and Kriol, an English-lexified creole), constitute part of a single network of multilingual communicative practice in the region, since their speakers have been in close contact for a long time, and since they now share the same settlements distributed throughout the Victoria River District. One aim of the project therefore is to carefully document variation. The lexical databases are set up to facilitate cross-referencing between the different varieties, for example to identify borrowings and translation equivalents. Focal areas for the text collection are topics such as significant sites, knowledge about plants and animals, and oral history, which are likely to be of particular interest to the speakers and their descendants as well as to linguists, anthropologists, biologists, ecologists, and historians. Two PhD students within the projects focus on the topics of Jaminjung prosody (Candide Simard) and spatial expressions in Ngarinyman (Kristina Henschke), respectively. The project was administered by the University of Graz from August 2005 to March 2007, and by the University of Manchester from April 2007 to July 2008. 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 members of the core project team are: Eva Schultze-Berndt (Manchester; project director; Jaminjungan languages and some Ngarinyman), Patrick McConvell (Canberra; Principal Investigator; Ngumpin languages and Gurindji Kriol; anthropology); Felicity Meakins (Melbourne/Manchester; Postdoctoral Fellow; Ngumpin languages and Gurindji Kriol), Kristina Henschke (Graz, PhD student, Ngarinyman); Candide Simard (Manchester, PhD student, Jaminjung/Ngaliwurru). The core project team is supported by Glenn Wightman (Darwin) as ethnobiologist and Alan Marett and Linda Barwick (Sydney) as ethnomusicologists, by Erika Charola (Paris) as a linguistic consultant working on Gurindji, as well as by Nikolaus Himmelmann (Bochum) as and Mark Harvey (Newcastle) as cooperation partners.
Kriol is a creole language based on English vocabulary but with its own grammar. It is used as a lingua franca and often as the primary language of Indigenous Australians throughout a large area in Northern Australia, from the Kimberleys in Eastern Western Australia to Western Queensland.
