Description:Sammy tells a story about a trip he made to the nearby town Ho. It has been transcribed and translated by Sammy, Rebecca and Saskia.
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).
Sammy went to Ho for a few days to visit a friend there who was in hospital. We asked him to tell a story about his trip, and this is what he told.
Sammy tells the story in Avatime. No other languages are spoken.
Sammy tells the story to Saskia and Rebecca, who don't speak on the recording.
