Description: | ZAS somewhat unexpectedly came to the flat where NA and BP are staying - we'd expected her the evening before, when she hadn't come on account of the rather watchful dog that belongs to the owner of the flat. We were therefore not fully prepared, hurriedly set up the recording equipment - and as it turned out after 50 minutes of recording, accidentally hadn't started the video recording properly. The entire session therefore consists of only Marantz sound files (recorded in mono) - which is a great pity, because ZAS was very animated and used a lot of gestures, especially in the beginning. Overall, it was very quiet, at most a fly might be heard buzzing around the table. The session consists of one long recording of over 50 minutes in which ZAS touched upon various topics, often turning from one to the other without much pause. To facilitate the further workflow (transcription, translation, glossing) we cut up the sound file into 5 separate files that are archived separately. In some cases the cut is made at a slightly arbitrary point, but in general the individually archived sessions deal with separate topics. | |
Ėven is a Northern Tungusic language spoken over a vast area of northeastern Siberia, from the Lena-Jana watershed in the west to the coast of the Oxotsk Sea, Chukotka, and Kamchatka in the east. Traditionally, Ėvens are nomadic hunters and reindeer pastoralists. Reindeer, both domesticated and wild, play an important role in their culture and ethnic self-identification. Reindeer herding, however, has become highly endangered throughout the Russian North, which has had extremely negative effects on the Ėvens' self-perception and social relations. Therefore the project will not only seek to document the language, but also the state of reindeer herding among the Ėvens in different regional settings. Due to the fragmentation of the Ėven communities, several dialects have emerged which are classified into two major dialectal groups: Western and Eastern. These dialects form a continuum with pronounced lack of mutual intelligibility between the extremes. So far, only two variants of one of the dozen or more dialects have been documented to a notable extent; these variants are also the least endangered ones. Other dialects are either on the verge of extinction or moribund. The project aims at documenting three highly endangered variants of Ėven that currently still have enough fluent speakers to make a comprehensive documentation feasible. These are the dialect spoken in the village of Sebjan-Küöl in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), which is the westernmost Ėven dialect still spoken; the dialect spoken in the village of Topolinoe in Yakutia, which also belongs to the Western dialect group, but is in an intermediate geographic location and the dialect spoken in the Bystraja district on Kamchatka representing the Eastern dialect group. | ||
This is the second section of the recording session - somewhat artificially cut off after about 4 minutes. In this - also very animated - narrative ZAS tells how she arrived in Tashkent as a young woman to visit an Uzbek penfriend of hers, and how her friend had missed her at the airport because of a delay with the airplane, so that ZAS had had to find her friend's home by herself, with a taxi driver who also didn't know the street. | ||
