Description: | Elicitation session with Sammy testing semantics of TAM forms | |
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). | ||
Rebecca asked Sammy to translate sentences from English to Avatime and discussed their meaning. This is the session which first gave real indications that there was no tense. Also Sammy translates the interview_MO-KA. | ||
English was the language of discussions and elicitation, Avatime was the target language | ||
