Description: | This tape contains recordings made by Bern(h)ard Schebeck with several Marrku speakers, apparently in the first two stops of a journey from Darwin to Eastern Arnhem Land via Croker and Goulburn Islands. This is the 'second' of several tapes made on this journey. Original archiving details are: Field Tape number MA2 (Schebeck); AIAS Archive Number A643, Track B. The originals are held in the AIAS archive, Canberra, who digitised the tapes. Since precise dates are not given for the originals, the dates given here are constructed as follows: the date for this session is that for the second date of BS's travel, and each subsequent session is given a date one day later. Further confusion about the identity of these tapes comes from the fact that the first 34 minutes of this tape recurs on the first tape in the series (here archived as MAR_w_660613), but this second tape then contains a further 30 minutes of text. The introductory metadata spoken by the AIAS archivist on the two tapes, however, erroneously suggests totally different content. The material lodged here links elan and trs files for the last part of this session. Contents of the last part of this tape are as follows: 1. [from around 34 minutes, lasts c. 21 minutes] Jimmy Jambululu, hunting 'harrmbu' (which could mean either 'crocodile' or 'goanna', prob. the latter since dogs are involved) 2. history of Croker region, including interesting material on the Macassans However the language is mumbled and difficult and has only been partly and very roughly transcribed. | |
This project documents, in as full a cultural context as is possible, the Iwaidja language of the Cobourg Peninsula, Northern Territory, Australia (Iwaidjan language family, non-Pama-Nyungan), still spoken by around 200 people but under increasing threat from English, as well as recording material from other languages of the region (Marrgu, Ilgar/ Garig, Amurdak and Manangkari) which are all reduced to one or two speakers each. In addition to linguists, the research team will include specialists in ethnomusicology, material culture / archaeology, and social anthropology, and will result in a comprehensive, searchable and browsable sound and video documentation, with Iwaidja transcriptions and subtitles alongside English translations, an Iwaidja dictionary of around 5,000 words, detailed phonetic analysis, and briefer materials on other languages of the area. | ||
