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).
A group of men talking on the road in Vane about how they did some work for a man and he didn't buy them drinks and he should have. They also talk about other things.
They speak in Avatime
A group of men in Vane, Sammy in one of them and he is recording the conversation. Unfortunately I don't know who the others are.
Sammy was one of our main informants for this project. He was born in Vane and has lived there most of his life. He has also spent some time in Accra. He speaks good English and Ewe.
The recording was made using a Marantz PMD flash recorder. The recording is mono, 16 bit and 48 kHz.
