Collection title Koita 1988–1990
Description The elicitations were made in 1988 and 1990 when Haraka Gaudi from Port Moresby came to the University of Toronto in order to pursue a graduate degree in Library Science. We appointed him as Teaching Assistant for our Field Linguistics course (JAL 445). Haraka Gaudi proved to be an inspiring leader and outstanding linguistic resource, and the courses in the relevant years were filled with outstanding students, many of whom went on to become language professionals and professors.

We hope our preliminary studies of this fascinating language, abetted by the good graces of our friend and colleague Haraka Gaudi, will find appreciative and ambitious users who will make good use of it.

The database consists of three parts:
1 Koita analyses
Analyses of Koita linguistic structures from a selection of exceptional research essays with comments and annotations by the professor. There is also a succinct note offering five arguments against the “Maori analysis,” which maintains that Koita stems are consonant-­‐‑final.
2 Koita elicitation
About 200 pages of field notes with material elicited from Haraka Gaudi transcribed in IPA in the hand of the professor (who is the depositor). There is some repetition in the first pages of the two iterations of the course as we begin by eliciting nouns and other small items. The elicitations then become more interesting linguistically as we move to inflected and derived forms, phrases, clauses, embeddings and finally texts.
3 Lexical files
179 lexical entries with headwords in IPA notation, the gloss, the context in which it was elicited, the contextual gloss (“E-­‐‑gloss”), morphology, comments, and its location in the elicitation files.
