Description: | An elderly male speaker tells the story of a grandfather and his grandson competing to eat a bird they found. The bundle contains the recording and an annotation file complete with glosses and translation. | |
The goal of this project is the documentation of the three major languages in the Southwest of the pacific island of Ambrym, Vanuatu. The major objectives include the creation of both academic and local dictionaries, grammatical descriptions of the three languages as well as extensive recordings of the languages with an emphasis on language use in connection with specific cultural pracitces such as sand drawings, dances and songs. | ||
This is a story about an orphan child who lives with his grandfather. He discovers a bird in their garden and wants to eat it, but his grandfather secretly eats it himself. At the end of the story, the grandfather throws up and the grandson eventually gets to eat the bird. | ||
Kilu von Prince has chosen the grammar of Daakaka to be the subject of her dissertation. Her purpose in the DoBeS project "Languages of West Ambrym" is to document and to help preserve the languages Daakaka and Ral kalein by collecting language data, establishing lexical databases and providing local communities with orthographies, dictionaries and printed accounts of traditional stories for use in education. | ||
JM has assisted at most of the transcriptions and translations of the recordings in Daakaka, being a very gifted informant. He has spend part of his education in the country's capital Vila. | ||
