| Description | These data were collected by Kaufman in July and August 1993 in Porto Velho, Rondonia state, Brazil. Dan Everett had invited TK to Brazil to give lectures on field methods to a group of SIL linguists. Everett and Robert Dixon organized a workshop on grammar-writing for SIL people in Northern Brazil; about 15 SIL linguists were there for 6 weeks; they attended lectures in the mornings and gave reports in the afternoons Kaufman agreed to teach only if he could do field work in the afternoons. These file slips were collected during this trip. The Dení data were from two brothers, Kazupana & Haku (the only names that Kaufman noted for them), of the same father, different mothers, and about 25-30 years difference in their ages. They were from Merrão, a town on the river Cuniuá (spelled Kunyuwá by Kaufman) in the state of Amazonas in Brazil. The Suruí data were from Pedro Surui, whose name in his language was Kabéte:m; he was from Linha Onze (Line Eleven), Rondonia, Brazil. Both Dení and Suruí are noteworthy because they both have as many animal names as plant names (where many cultures in that area have more plant names). Data collection dates: Dení Animals: 28 hours, 21 July to 3 August 1993 Plants: 23 hours, 3-15 August 1993 Suruí Animals: 22 hours, 22 July to 2 August 1993 Plants: 22 hours, 3-15 August 1993 C00202: handwritten notes on Dení mammal terms C00204: handwritten notes on Dení bird terms C00207: handwritten notes on Dení reptile terms C00210: handwritten notes on Dení bug terms C00212: loose sheet of handwritten notes: related to data collection C00213: loose sheet of handwritten notes: related to data collection C00214: loose sheet of handwritten notes: related to data collection C00215: types of bugs (with at least three members): Counting of bug types in Dení and Suruí; handwritten notes C00216: loose sheet of handwritten notes: related to data collection in Dení and Suruí C00217: loose sheet of handwritten notes: related to data collection C00218: loose sheet of handwritten notes: related to data collection C00219: loose sheet of handwritten notes: related to data collection in Dení and Suruí C00220: loose sheet of handwritten notes: related to data collection C00221: loose sheet of handwritten notes: related to data collection in Dení and Suruí C00234: handwritten notes for the preparation of Dení and Suruí ethnobiology C00243: handwritten notes on Dení birds, which are eaten, these are unglossed C00253: handwritten notes on Dení plants and their uses DEN-PL: Dení Plant Names: typed document |
