| Description: | Listening back to earlier elicitations with Sammy and asking him to whistle and explain things. | |
| 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). | ||
| After trying myself to transcribe Sammy's description on the Slobin manner of motion clips (RS0809221), I was left with some questions. So I went through the sentences I had questions about, asked Sammy to listen to them and whistle them and/or translate them. Sometimes I asked for a more detailed explanation of the meaning of a specific word. | ||
| Saskia and Sammy speak mainly English, discussing Avatime sentences. | ||
| Sammy was one of our main informants for this project. He was born in Vane and has lived there most of his life. He has also spent some time in Accra. He speaks good English and Ewe. | ||
| 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. | ||
| The recording was made using a Marantz PMD flash recorder. The recording is mono, 16 bit and 48 kHz. | ||
