| Description: | Mathias Mahunu and Rebecca Defina visited Grete Ebedi at her house in the afternoon and interviewed her about various topics. Her granddaughter was nearby behind the camera preparing fufu and she occasionally commented on what was being said. During the interview her husband came and sat next to her. This section has been cut out of the longer interview (it was near the end) and here Mathias asks her to explain how to get to Mt Gayie which is the mountain visible in front of Grete and behind the camera. | |
| 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). | ||
| Mathias asks Grete how to get to Mt Gayie, she describes two ways you can get there, using a lot of pointing to explain the route. She also tells how one of the ways is too difficult for children and they must use the other way. | ||
| Both Mathias's question and Grete's response are given in Avatime. | ||
| Mathias questions Grete. Grete responds. | ||
| Grete is an elderly woman who lives in Vane with her husband, some of her children and grandchildren. She was born during the German occupation of the Avatime lands, hence the German name. | ||
| Manfred Apati is an old man (65+) living in Fume. He is a member of the language committee founded by the GILLBT (SIL) group. He has followed a few linguistics / translation courses with GILLBT. He writes Avatime very well and has independently transcribed and translated many recordings for us. | ||
| Mathias is a Senior High School student in Vane. | ||
| This audio was extracted from the video of the same name. | ||
| 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. | ||
| This interview is from the end of a longer interview interview_MM-GE and is the third of a series of interviews conducted by Mathias and Rebecca in the afternoon on the 22/11/2008. See interview_MM-FO and interview_MM-SM for the first two interviews in this series. | ||
