Description:Godsway tells Sammy a story. Recorded by Sammy. Transcribed by Rebecca and Mathias, but not typed 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).
Godsway tells Sammy a story about a chief with only one daughter and how this chief decides that the person who is to marry her has to be able to eat a bag full of peppers without making a sound.
The story was told in Avatime.
Godsway is a friend of Sammy. Sammy had borrowed our recorder and asked Godsway to tell him a story.
Sammy was one of our main informants for this project. He was born in Vane and has lived there most of his life. He has also spent some time in Accra. He speaks good English and Ewe.
Godsway is a friend of Sammy. Rebecca and Saskia haven't met him and do not know much about him.
The recording was made using a Marantz PMD flash recorder. The recording is mono, 16 bit and 48 kHz.
