Description: | The young female speaker tells the story of the rat and the crab. | |
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 crab and the rat are literally playing with fire. They clear their respecitve fields by lighting a fire and bet on who finds a better way to stay close to the fire without getting burned. The rat digs a hole, but the crab just covers itself up with leaves. Thus, the crab burns, but the rat survives and hence has an affinity to digging holes. | ||
JM has assisted at most of the transcriptions and translations of the recordings in Daakaka, being a very gifted informant. He has spend part of his education in the country's capital Vila. | ||
AN is a young, unmarried woman who still lives in the village she was born. | ||
