Description: | Elicitation session with Adzoyo, looking into motion expressions. | |
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 first asks Adzoyo for the Avatime translations of some English motion expressions. Then she shows her the Slobin manner clips, a set of video clips in which people move in different manners. After each clip Saskia asks in Avatime what the man/woman did. | ||
Questions were asked mostly in English by Saskia and responses were given in Avatime by Adzoyo. | ||
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. | ||
Annotated by Saskia. | ||

The Slobin manner clips can be found in the stimuli set of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics. | ||
