Description |
Word list continues from 'stump, stem' to 'mosquito', also some discussion of writing systems and (fraught) relationship to pronunciation.
Made in Tais, in the evening in the house next to the community centre [background noise is generator and playback of video of welcome ceremony], with a large number of people present. Basically working through the first part of the Southern New Guinea project's 360 word list, with some grammatical digressions. See Nen2013 Field Notebook for details. English and Nen used as languages of elicitation; JN sometimes assists in explaining what is needed, as does Eniam (f), the schoolteacher at Tais.
