| Description: | Mathias interviews his grandfather, Samuel, about how to get to places, what Vane used to be like and how he thinks things will be in the future | |
| 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). | ||
| Rebecca asked Mathias to find some elderly Avatime people who didn't speak English that would be happy to be interviewed. He found three such people. Rebecca and Mathias sat down and discussed the questions to be asked, the main goals of these interviews were to get directions, past and future changes stories and to run the time in space experiment with people who didn't speak English. Samuel was the second elderly person he interviewed. This file is an excerpt from that interview with the directions segment, the discussion of how Vane has changed in the past and may change in the future, and a discussion of his children and grandchildren and when they were born. The time in space experiment section is in the full file. | ||
| The interview is conducted in Avatime, occasionally Rebecca and Mathias use some English | ||
| Mathias conducts the interview, Samuel answers. Rebecca mainly listens but also at times suggested which question should be asked next. Samuel's wife is off camera to the right and she comments a couple of times when they are discussing the children. | ||
| Samuel is Mathias's grandfather. Mathias lives with him and his wife in Vane. | ||
| Mathias is a Senior High School student in Vane. | ||
| 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. | ||
