Description:This bundle contains a recorded conversation between elderly male speakers who talk about how life has changed since they were young.
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.
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.
This elderly is an senior member of his community in Sesivi. He has a substantial knowledge about traditional customs and kastom stories and is greatly concerned with the conservation of the language. He has created several neologisms in order to refer to imported and novel items such as plates, radios or cell phones without using words of Bislama or English.
