| Description: | Elicitation looking at how people give information about the temporal order of events | |
| 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). | ||
| This task was designed by Rebecca during the field trip. One person (the director) watches a short video and the other person (the matcher) has a series of still pictures representing events that happen during the film (with descriptions written on them in Avatime). The two participants sit facing the same direction with a screen between them so neither can see what the other is doing but they can talk. The researcher makes sure that the matcher understands the pictures they have and their descriptions. Then instructs them that the matcher has this set of pictures which are things that happen in the film that the director saw but that they are in the wrong order. So the matcher must ask the director questions in order to determine the correct order of the pictures. Once the matcher has decided on an order, the screen is lifted and the director looks to see if the order is correct and they discuss where they might have gone wrong. In this case Prince watched the pear film and Kennedy arranged the pictures. He seemed to ask only if something had happened or not and then put it in the order that he asked rather than doing any rearranging based on the responses. At the end Rebecca sits with the two boys and talks about the order with them. The cards were labelled Onyime egu pearya ni oselome (the man picks pears from the tree) Onyime abam� si y� pearya b�lịla (the man sees that the pears a gone) Onyime enye pearya kp� kas�yam� (the man pours pears into the basket) Ban� tiaba b�ta pearya kp� kas�yam� (two people put pears into the basket) Benyime tiata b�za ni �k� aba (three boys pass in front of the man) �k� ani �g� b�za kas�yaba (a man and a goat pass in front of the basket) Onivue efeke pearya tr� ni y� gas�yaba (the boy picks up the pears and puts them on his bike) Benyime tiata b��a pearya (three boys eat pears) Onivue aw�lị gas�yaba (the boy falls from his bike) Onivue likutole lịw�lị (the boy's hat falls) Onivue am� likutole ni k�sa (a boy sees the hat on the ground) Onivue ak� likutole ki y�nimiye (the boy takes the hat and gives it to his friend) Onivue akp� gas�y� za ni yenenimidz� (the boy and his bike pass the girl) There is a transcription but it isn't typed up | ||
| Prince and Kennedy talk to each other in Avatime and with Rebecca in English. | ||
| Kennedy and Prince are friends at the JHS. Kennedy arranges the cards. Prince watched the video. | ||
| 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. | ||

| The recording was made using a JVC Everio digital video camera. The file is saved in MPEG2 format with 3400 kbps video encoding rate and 256 kbps audio encoding rate. The aspect ratio is 4:3 and the size of the video is 352 x 576. It is recorded in PAL format. | ||
| This session is in the first half of this recording. The recording continues for the second sequencing task. The recording was made using a Marantz PMD flash recorder. The recording is mono, 16 bit and 48 kHz. It is not very good quality. | ||
| This session is in the first half of this recording. The recording continues for the second sequencing task. This is the same recording as the other wav file but it has been amplified using Audacity. | ||
| This session is in the first half of this recording. The recording continues for the second sequencing task. This is the same recording as the other wav files but here it has been amplified and had some noise removed using audacity. | ||
