From Language and Culture

This part contains the actual documentation data, in particular media (audio and video tapings) and annotation. These are bundled in sessions which are organized in an hierarchical structure. Sessions have been grouped into two major domains. Linguistic Data: Data in this domain focusses on documenting the Awetí language more than the culture. (Of course all these data are also culturally relevant.) Most sessions here contain spoken texts that could and should be transcribed, translated and possibly further annotated.

Description: The main objective of the Awetí Language Documentation Project is the comprehensive documentation of the language spoken by the Awetí, an indigenous tribe of just over a hundred people living in the Xingú headwater area of central Brazil. This comprehensive multimedia corpus is suitable as a basis for further research on the language and culture of the Awetí even if and when the language and culture become extinct. The Awetí Project closely co-operated with two other DOBES projects on languages in the area (Trumai and Kuikuro / Upper Xinguan Karib): all these languages are genetically unrelated. Co-operation was to ensure, among other things, the creation of analogous corpora for the three languages.
