Description: | Session in which Sammy helps Saskia transcribing and understanding earlier sessions. | |
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). | ||
First, Sammy whistled and translated the directions to the market he told in an earlier session (RS0809221). Then he explained more about the meanings of some of the sentences we elicited earlier demonstrating different motion events (RS0809223). Finally he helped me translate some parts of the story about his trip to Ho that he told in an earlier session (RS0809091 and Ho_SO). | ||
Saskia and Sammys speak mostly English, they speak about Avatime words and phrases. | ||
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. | ||
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. | ||
The recording was made using a Marantz PMD flash recorder. The recording is mono, 16 bit and 48 kHz. | ||
