Description: | A young girl writes about her wish to have wings so she'd be able to fly. This short and charming text is especially interesting in terms of counterfactual expressions. | |
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 essay was written by AD, transcribed, translated and glossed by von Prince, with the help of the Language Committee. | ||
AD is a young girl from Baiap SDA. | ||
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. | ||
