Description:Mawalaju and 017 give the names of birds they recognize from a CD illustrating the sounds of the birds registered in the book "Aves do Brasil".
This project aims at the documentation of the Awetí Language and aspects of the Awetí culture. Awetí is a tupian language of a small speech community of the same name at the southern edge of the Amazon rain forest, in the Xingú reserve, Mato Grosso, central Brazil. The project was funded December 2000--April 2006 by the VolkswagenStiftung in the Documentation of Endangered Languages Programme (DOBES). The principal researcher, Sebastian Drude, initianted his research among the Aweti in 1998. Sabine Reiter participated as a freelancer in 2001 and as research assistant (including conducting field research) from 2002 on. The Awetí participated intensively in the project. At least one person of each houshold provided individual texts, the community agreed to be documented in day-to-day activities and during special events such as rituals. Several Awetí got involved in the further processing of the documentation data, especially by assisting in the creation of transcriptions and translations during the 9 field trips and in 8 visits of two to three speakers in Belém or Canarana.
bird's names elicited by sounds from a CD acompaning the book "Aves do Brasil". Sebastian asks 030 and 017 to identify the birds from a sound disk. The CD can be heard in the background while the speakers utter the bird's names in the moments they appear on the CD. The researcher partially imitates sounds to draw the consultant's attention to specific sounds. There are more Awetí present, especially younger ones, and some of them whisper words to 030.
SD shows pictures and asks questions partially in Awetí and partially in Portugese. The consultants gives answers in Awetí. The names are partially repeated by the researcher.
