A Description and Documentation of Avatime
Contributor (researcher):Rebecca
Coverage:Ghana
Date:2008-11-18
Description:Da Adzoyo talks about her life and how things changed in Vane between when she left 30 years before and when she returned from Accra recently.
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).
Da Adzoyo tells the story of her life and discusses how things have changed in the village during her 30 year absence. She then retells them in English and there is some discussion between her and Rebecca in English.
English was the language of discussions and elicitation, Avatime was the target language
Rebecca asks Da Adzoyo to tell her about her life and opinions on how the village has changed. Da Adzoyo tells her stories and then they discuss some parts.
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.
