Description:ENGLISH: The researcher conducts an interview with a Trumai speaker, asking her questions about her life in the city of Canarana. The questions are based in the material developed by S. Kita 1999, "Description of the Local Environment" (In: Manual for the 1999 Field Season, version 1.0. Nijmegen, Netherlands: Language and Cognition Group, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics). ----- PORTUGUÊS: A pesquisadora conduz uma entrevista com uma falante de Trumai, fazendo questões sobre sua vida na cidade de Canarana. As questões são baseadas no material desenvolvido por S. Kita 1999, "Descrição do Ambiente Local" (In: Manual for the 1999 Field Season, version 1.0. Nijmegen, Netherlands: Language and Cognition Group, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics).
The purpose of the project is to document Trumai, a genetically isolate language spoken in Brazil. The archive consists of a collection of texts in the language, plus other kinds of materials relative to the Trumai culture, such as photos, drawings, songs, educational materials, etc.
Interview with a Trumai speaker, who talks about her life in the city of Canarana.
The researcher asks questions in Portuguese. The consultant replies in Trumai, and sometimes translates her answer.
There were two participants: the researcher, who was the interviewer, and the Trumai interviewee (Speaker19).
Speaker19 is ethnically Kamayurá, but she can also speak Trumai, which she learned when she got married to a Trumai man (she was 14 years old by then). She became fluent, and nowadays she talks to her husband, children, and grandchildren in Trumai in a daily basis. Both her parents were Kamayurá, but her mother died when she was a small child. The husband of Speaker19 is Speaker2, a very important man in the Trumai group. Speaker19 can also speak Portuguese, although with limitations.
Raquel is a Brazilian linguist. She has been working with the Trumai people since 1989. She has a Ph.D. in Linguistics from Rice University (Houston, Texas, U.S.A).
