| Description: | Conversation about Jayapura, Vanimo and Japan in Tok Pisin, and memories of a Yuat man going to Jayapura in Meakambut | |
| The Meakambut are semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers, numbering about 60, moving between camps and rock shelters in their mountainous territory in East Sepik Province in Papua New Guinea. As one of very few semi-nomadic groups in Melanesia, they are key for understanding the (socio)linguistic situation which would have prevailed before agriculture. Apart from basic word-lists there has been no prior research on the language. Using observational filming to supplement basic linguistic and ethnographic documentation, this project provides audio-visual documentation and analysis of a variety of Meakambut speech practices, embedded in rich ethnographic data. | ||
| Kapukam and Yakalok engage Darja in a conversation about Jayapura, Vamino (Vanimo) and Japan. Kapukam talks about a Yuat man who returned from Jayapura with a foreign wife | ||
