Description: | Elicitations with Sammy trying to hear the difference in the velar fricatives and collecting the Ho story | |
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). | ||
We checked some words with velar fricatives in them because we'd been having trouble distinguishing the voiced and voiceless ones. In this session we tried to group together ones that where the same so we could move forward with them. We then tried to get Sammy to transcribe some of the story he'd told us 2 days earlier (Ho_SO) | ||
All discussion is in English, we checked some Avatime words and transcribed some Avatime text | ||
At first we questioned Sammy, then we tried to work with him to get him to transcribe Ho_SO | ||
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. | ||
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. | ||
