Description: | Elicitation session checking place of articulation of affricates | |
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 Da Adzo to say all of the words that Rebecca and Saskia had found with affricates. This was in order to check the place of articatulation of these affricates because older speakers have a phonemic contrast between alveolar and palatal affricates while younger speakers do not. So we had many words with affricates where we were unsure of the place of articulation. This list of words is also checked with Fo Yao in a later session. | ||
English was the language of discussions and elicitation, Avatime was the target language | ||
Rebecca questioned Da Adzoyo | ||
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. | ||
Da Adzo was one of our main consultants. She has helped us transcribe and translate recordings, helped us in elicitation sessions and gave us cultural information. She was born in Vane, moved to Accra after she got married and moved back to Vane at 62. | ||
The recording was made using a Marantz PMD flash recorder. The recording is mono, 16 bit and 48 kHz. | ||
