| Description: | Elicitation session with Sammy: run walk crawl climb, causality, subordinate clauses, transcribing market directions. Partly transcribed 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). | ||
| Saskia and Rebecca first showed Sammy the causality videos and asked him to describe what the people in the clips did. The causality videos show events with different causes. Then, Saskia and Rebecca showed Sammy the 'run walk crawl climb' videos and asked him to describe what the people and animals in the videos did. The 'run walk crawl climb' videos show people and animals moving in different manners. After this, Saskia transcribed the directions to the market with Sammy, which were recorded in an earlier session. Rebecca then asked Sammy to translate some English sentences with subordinate clauses into Avatime. | ||
| Instructions were given in English, there is also some discussion in English. For the rest, Avatime is spoken. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Rebecca Defina is one of the researchers in this project. She did her bachelors in Linguistics and Mathematics at the University of Sydney and her research master in Linguistics at Leiden University. She started PhD studies at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in 2010. She grew up in Australia and now lives in the Netherlands. | ||
| The recording was made using a Marantz PMD flash recorder. The recording is mono, 16 bit and 48 kHz. | ||
| Only the responses to the 'run walk crawl climb' videos have been transcribed. Transcription by Saskia. | ||

| - The run_walk_crawl_climb elicitation set has been developed by researchers involved in the �motion encoding in language� project at NTNU. - The 'causality' videos can be found in the stimulus set of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen. - Saskia and Sammy transcribed the directions to the market from the session RS0809221. | ||
