Description: | This is a song about three girls who go bathing and are followed by a crab on their way back to the village. | |
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 song tells the story of three girls who go bathing and fail to see that one of them is being followed by a crab. When they return home, the crab falls down, presumably from a tree where it has been watching them. From then on, the girl who was being followed by the crab has the nickname "crab". Speakers explain that the "crab" is really a boy who is fond of one of the girls. | ||
This song was written down by SD, transcribed annotated and translated by von Prince, with the help of AN and RT. | ||
SE 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. | ||
RT is a young woman whose first language is Daakaka. | ||
AN is a young, unmarried woman who still lives in the village she was born. | ||
