| Description: | Elicitation session with Da Adzo, looking into motion and serial verb constructions. | |
| The Avatime project aims to describe and document Avatime. The researchers involved in this project are Rebecca Defina and Saskia van Putten. The project included fieldwork in Ghana in 2008 and was completed in 2009. Outcomes of the project are: (1) audio and video recordings of different genres, of which 13,5 hours have been transcribed and annotated, (2) an Avatime-English wordlist, (3) grammar notes and (4) two Master's theses, one on the expression of motion in Avatime (Saskia van Putten) and one on aspect and mood in Avatime (Rebecca Defina). | ||
| Saskia tried some Avatime sentences on Da Adzo to see if they are grammatical and if so what they mean. Saskia also asked Da Adzo for the translations of some English sentences. The goal of this session was to look into the properties of motion serial verb constructions and serial verb markers. | ||
| Questions were asked in English or Avatime, answers mostly given in Avatime. | ||
| Saskia van Putten is one of the researchers in this project. She did her bachelor in Languages and Cultures of Africa and her research master in Linguistics, both at Leiden University. She started PhD studies at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in 2009. Saskia grew up and still lives in the Netherlands. | ||
| Da Adzo was one of our main consultants. She has helped us transcribe and translate recordings, helped us in elicitation sessions and gave us cultural information. She was born in Vane, moved to Accra after she got married and moved back to Vane at 62. | ||
| The recording was made using a Marantz PMD flash recorder. The recording is mono, 16 bit and 48 kHz. | ||
