Title: | Maps based on collected GPS coordinates (Private) | |
GPS-maps | ||
Morehead: Languages of Southern New Guinea | ||
Contributor (researcher): | Dr. Julia Colleen Miller | |
Coverage: | Papua New Guinea | |
Description: | These maps were created by walking throughout the villages and garden hamlets collecting GPS coordinates and names of those who live in (house) or own (yam house) the structures. One map has additional information based upon interviews. These maps contain sensitive information and are not meant to be shared outside of the immediate research team. Keywords: Mapping; Village descriptions | |
This project focuses on collecting multimedia documentation of multiple undescribed Papuan languages – Nen and Nambu (Morehead-Maro) and Kmntso (Tonda). Other nearby languages will have varrying degrees of description, including Idi, Nama, and Neme. All of these languages belong to an almost completely unknown family in Southern New Guinea. Based at the Australian National University in Canberra, plus collaborations with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, and the PNG National Herbarium, the project will embed a German PhD student (Christian Döhler) in a team including a seasoned field linguist (Nick Evans) and a post-doc (Julia Colleen Miller), two Germany-based typologists (Bernard Comrie and Volker Gast) from the FAUST (Future Archive User Simulation Team), plus participation on targeted fieldtrips by ethnobiologist Chris Healey (ANU) and botanist Kipiro Damas (PNG National Herbarium, Madang). Particular foci of the documentation will be the natural world (especially ethnobotany and ethnoornithology), swidden cultivation, fire management and ethnoecology, mythology, auto-ethnography, ethnomathematics, and microvariation in language use in a situation of daily multilingualism.nichola | ||
