Description:Saskia showed the 'put and take' video clips to Koku and asked him to describe them in Avatime. Has been typed up and partly annotated in ELAN by Saskia.
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).
Koku described the put and take video clips. This is a set of clips in which people place and remove objects.
Saskia explained the procedure in English, in between the clips she tried to ask questions in Avatime only, but every now and then she asked an English question. Koku's responses were 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.
Koku is a student at the Junior Secondary School in Vane. He is in form three. He comes from Vane and so do his parents.
The recording was made using a Marantz PMD flash recorder. The recording is mono, 16 bit and 48 kHz.
Annotated by Saskia, about half of the session has been annotated.
