Animals
Analysis and Description of the Tiriyó language
Contributor:Sérgio Meira
Nasau
Coverage:Brazil
Date:2000-09-10
Description:Short narratives, responding to questions by the interviewer.
A project for the analysis and description of the Tiriyó language, based on fieldwork. It started in 1993 (under Dr. Spike Gildea's Northern Brazilian Cariban Languages Documentatino Project, NSF grant DBS-9210130) and continues to the present.
This file was generated from an IMDI 1.9 file and transformed to IMDI 3.0. The substructure of Genre is replaced by two elements named "Genre" and "SubGenre". The original content of Genre substructure was: Interactional = 'interview', Discursive = 'explanation', Performance = 'narrative'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
This sessions contains a number of short descriptions, reacting to the interviewer (Sérgio). Sérgio asks about a given word, and Nasau explains it. The first questions are about colors and patterns, but the largest part is about animals.
Only Tiriyó was used as throughout the session.
Sérgio asks questions, and Nasau answers; sometimes he elaborates on a topic for several minutes (thus producing a series of short narrative texts).
Sérgio Meira is the main researcher in the Tiriyó descriptive project.
Nasau is an older man (50-60 in 2002) who speaks H-Tiriyó. He is an Okomoyana, born in Surinam, in the Karakai river, and now residing in Brasil. He is very respected at the Missão Tirió area. He is the chief of a small sub-village.
Sérgio Meira is also the researcher responsible for the project on the analysis and description of the Tiriyó language.
The original tape was given to Dick van den Born, who made me an identical copy. I digitized this copy, which is the source for the MPEG file.
