| Description: | This recording was made at a wake keeping the night before the funeral of Geoffrey Adjabeng, a clan leader. The men gathered at one of the meeting places in the village and spent the night giving speeches, singing and drinking. This event was recorded by Sammy. No outside observer was present. In this recording, one of the attendants tells how they brought the body from the mortuary in Ho to Vane. He is then welcomed and greeted. Part of this recording has been transcribed and translated by Mathias and Saskia. | |
| 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). | ||
| Woagba Bazudie arrives at the wake keeping and is welcomed by the chairman of the wake keeping, the linguist Tsamie Atsu Ganusah. Woagba Bazudie tells the other people how he and some others traveled from the mortuary in Ho to Vane with the body. Tsamie Ganusah welcomes him and they exchange greetings. Then Tsamie Atsu Ganusah gives a short speech too. | ||
| The only language spoken at this recording is Avatime. | ||
| The recording was made by Sammy. The main speakers are Woagba Bazudie and Tsamie Atsu Ganusah. Some other people can also be heard speaking every now and then. Many men of the village are present. Part of the recording has been transcribed and translated by Mathias and Saskia. | ||
