| 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). | ||
| The new chief of Gbadzeme (one of the other Avatime villages) came to swear fealty to the paramount chief of Avatime in Vane. In this ceremony traditional prayers or libations are said, two rams are sacrificed, there are several speeches and dances. | ||
| The proceedings were in Avatime. | ||
| Several people take part, most notably the Gbadzeme chief and his linguist, the chief linguist, the paramount chief of Avatime who sits to the side for the entire proceedings and lets his linguist speak in his place. Many spectators were present. Saskia filmed it. | ||
| Saskia van Putten is one of the researchers in this project. She did her bachelor in Languages and Cultures of Africa and her research master in Linguistics, both at Leiden University. She started PhD studies at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in 2009. Saskia grew up and still lives in the Netherlands. | ||
| The recording was made using a JVC Everio digital video camera. The file is saved in MPEG2 format with 3400 kbps video encoding rate and 256 kbps audio encoding rate. The aspect ratio is 4:3 and the size of the video is 352 x 576. It is recorded in PAL format. | ||
