| Description: | This document shows the sand drawing developed by AU, with a short caption that explains the meaning of the drawing and its different parts | |
| 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. | ||
| The scanned file shows the drawing of the island of Ambrym by speaker AU, who has also added a description: The drawing consists of several spatially overlapping figures; one of them represents the two smoking volcanoes, with their lava conduits. Another, roughly triangular, part shows the island of Ambrym itself. In the middle, some of the lines form a heart, which represents the volcanic desert in the center of the island. | ||
| The drawing and text were created by AU. The text was transcribed, translated and glossed by von Prince, with some uncertainties about the words in the last line. | ||
| This speaker is a young man from Sesivi. He is well educated and works at the local Health Center. Is respected by his elders for his knowledge and his commitment to explore his cultural and linguistic heritage. | ||
| 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. | ||
