Description:Mawulolo retells the frog story to a classmate.
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).
Mawulolo tells a story based on the wordless picture book 'frog, where are you?'. She tells the story to her classmate Kennedy. She does not seem to be very serious about it and does not follow the storyline of the pictures very well.
The story was told in Avatime.
Mawulolo told the story to Kennedy. Kennedy does not say more than a few words in this recording. Also present was Rebecca. Manfred transcribed and translated the recording.
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.
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.
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 serious about the things we asked her to do. She is 16 years old and comes from Vane.
The recording was made using a Marantz PMD flash recorder. The recording is mono, 16 bit and 48 kHz.
The story has been transcribed and translated by Manfred and then put into ELAN. This transcription was done in a previous version of our orthography, with different tone markings and some different symbols.
This story was cut out from: R0809241 The picture book on which the told story is based is: "Frog, where are you?" by Mercer Mayer, published by Dial Books for Young Readers, New York.
