Languages of Southwest Ambrym
Contributor (annotator):von Prince
Contributor (author):DB
Coverage:Vanuatu
Description:This text describes eloquently how mats are produced and what they are used for on Ambrym.
The goal of this project is the documentation of the three major languages in the Southwest of the pacific island of Ambrym, Vanuatu. The major objectives include the creation of both academic and local dictionaries, grammatical descriptions of the three languages as well as extensive recordings of the languages with an emphasis on language use in connection with specific cultural pracitces such as sand drawings, dances and songs.
This text was written by DB, transcribed, translated and glossed by von Prince, with the help of the Language Committee.
The speaker was in his late twenties in 2009. He has received some secondary education and has been to New Zealand for apple picking. His main language is still Daakaka.
Kilu von Prince has chosen the grammar of Daakaka to be the subject of her dissertation. Her purpose in the DoBeS project "Languages of West Ambrym" is to document and to help preserve the languages Daakaka and Ral kalein by collecting language data, establishing lexical databases and providing local communities with orthographies, dictionaries and printed accounts of traditional stories for use in education.
