| Description: | Elicitations session with Sammy, describing the topological relations stimuli. | |
| 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 went through the topological relations stimuli (Bowerman) and first asked Sammy what everything was and then where the item was. This stimulus material consists of a set of pictures of objects located with respect to other objects in different ways. | ||
| We tried to ask questions in Avatime, but used English every now and then, Sammy gave Avatime descriptions of the pictures. | ||
| 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. The internal microphone was used for the first part of the recording but when it started to rain an audio-technica headset microphone PRO8HE was used. | ||
| This is not a very accurate transcription, as it was one of our first and hasn't been changed since then. Transcribed by Saskia. | ||
| Melissa Bowerman's topological relations picture series (BowPed) can be found in the stimulus material of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics. | ||
