| Description: | Kennedy and Esenam did the lego route description task. This was video and audio recorded. Mathias transcribed and translated it together with Rebecca and Saskia. It has been annotated in ELAN. | |
| 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). | ||
| Kennedy and Esenam play the lego route description task (Wilkins 1993). Each of the participants is sitting in front of an abstract duplo town. They cannot see each others towns. The two towns are identical, except that in one there is a chain which symbolizes a path. Each participant also has a duplo doll. The participant who is sitting in front of the town with the chain in it, is the director and the other participant is the matcher. The director has to move the duplo doll along the chain while explaining the route to the matcher, so that the matcher can follow the director's movements with his/her duplo doll. When they are finished, the matcher can look at the director's landscape and the two can discuss what, if anything, went wrong. In this session, two different routes were played. The first route is route 1 from the manual, with Kennedy as the director. The second route is route 2 from the manual, with Esenam as the director. To explain the game, Saskia and Rebecca start by giving a short demonstration. | ||
| The game was explained by Rebecca and Saskia in English. The game was played by Kennedy and Esenam in Avatime | ||
| Saskia and Rebecca explain and demonstrate the lego game. Kennedy and Esenam play it. Mathias transcribed and translated it, together with Rebecca and Saskia. | ||
| Esenam is a student at the Junior Secondary School in Vane. She grew up in Vane and her parents are also from Vane. | ||
| Kennedy is a student at the Junior Secondary School in Vane whom we worked with several times. He grew up in Vane, his parents are both from Vane as well. | ||
| Mathias was one of our main consultants for this project. He has helped us transcribe recordings and participated in experiments and elicitation sessions. He was born in Vane and grew up there. His father has died and his mother has moved to Accra, so he lives with his grandparents. He is a student at the Senior Secondary School in Vane. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| The recording was made using a Marantz PMD flash recorder. The recording is mono, 16 bit and 48 kHz. | ||
| This toolbox file was created from the ELAN file in which the recording was originally transcribed. | ||
| This transcription was made by Mathias with the help of Saskia and Rebecca. The ELAN file is linked to both the audio and the video recording. | ||
