| Description: | Elicitation session on lexical aspect of positionals | |
| 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 asks Mathias to translate sentences from English into Avatime and asks him to make grammaticality judgements about sentences she has made. She also asks him to come up with contexts for when he would use particular sentences. This was all aimed at probing the lexical aspect properties of 20 Avatime verbs and forms a series of eliciation sessions conducted with Sammy, Mathias, Da Adzoyo and Fo Yao. | ||
| English was the language of discussions and elicitation, Avatime was the target language | ||
