Description:Kennedy and Mawulolo interview each other about what they've been doing over the last couple of days and what they want to do when they grow up. Mawulolo doesn't take the task very seriously and makes a lot of things up.
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 the two consultants to interview each other about what they wanted to do when they grew up, what they did yesterday and what they would do tomorrow. This is not included on the recording. Kennedy first questioned Mawulolo and then Mawulolo questioned Kennedy.
The interview takes place in Avatime.
Kennedy and Mawulolo have a conversation. Rebecca is also present. Who transcribed it?
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.
Mawulolo is a student at the Junior Secondary School in Vane. We worked with her twice. Both times she was very talkative, but also not very serious about the things we asked her to do. She is 16 years old and comes from 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.
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.
