Description: | This video stimulus was developed by Birgit Hellwig and Friederike Luepke at MPI Nijmegen to investigate expressions of caused position. In each video clip, a Figure (e.g. pot, bottle, cloth) is placed in relation to a Ground (e.g. tree, earth, table) by an Agent, or a Figure appears spontaneously in relation to a Ground. | |
The Lowland Chontal Documentation project began as a dissertation project at the University of California at Santa Barbara (1997-2001), continued at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen (2002-2004), and was finished through a post-doctoral research grant funded by the Volkswagen Foundation (2004-2007). The goals of the dissertation research were (1) to investigate the formal, semantic, and discourse-functional profiles of predicates used to describe events of change of location, change of position, and change of state, and (2) to produce a grammatical sketch of the language in a descriptive and discourse-functional framework. The post-doctoral documentation project encompassed both linguistic and anthropological investigation. The goals of this larger project were (1) to produce a Chontal-English-Spanish dictionary, (2) to produce a comprehensive description of the grammar of Lowland Chontal, (3) to document the cultural heritage of the Chontalpa with respect to the land itself, and (4) to create an electronic archive of all audio and video materials and related texts. | ||
The consultants enjoyed this task, and many useful compound stem verbs were collected. Consultants hooted loudly at the use of so many empty wine bottles and took quite a shine to Friederike, the star of the clips. Highly successful task. Unfortunately, because of the seating arrangement, the collector figures prominently in the video. | ||
