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 informant is a senior member of his community. He is a gifted narrator of funny stories, but is less at ease when confronted with a microphone. | ||
GR is a young and bright member of his community and has been suggested to assist me with transcriptions and translations while JM was away from the island. | ||
