| Description: | The middle-aged male speaker tells the slightly incoherent story of two men who are confronted by a demon but finally manage to kill him. | |
| 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. | ||
| In this story, two men get lost in the bush. Finally, they arrive at the house of a demon who invites them in. He wants to eat them, but they manage to trick him into killing his lifestock and children instead and escape. Later, they come back in disguise to finish him off. | ||
| 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. | ||
| The speaker is in his late twenties and lives in Sesivi. He works in the health center in Baiap and has received a good French education at the local school in Sesivi. He is very much concerned with the preservation of his mother tongue. | ||
