Research output: Other contributionMiscellaneousResearch

Abstract

The largest part of this collection is linguistic material, including video-recorded conversations and narratives, elicited words and sentences, a lexicon, and recordings of people interacting with different stimulus materials like picture books or short video clips. A large part of the audiovisual and elicited material is translated into English and Papuan Malay and analysed at morpheme level.

In addition to the linguistic part, this corpus contains a modest number of pictures and videos of plants and a description of how they are used, videos and pictures of cultural events like marriages, and some recordings of music.
