BIG010 - Biga - Possessive and verbal subject-marking paradigms

This dataset contains elicited possessive and verbal subject-marking paradigms from Biga with Semuel Mandurun (born 1970), a native speaker of Biga. The possessed nouns in the possessive paradigms are 'fish', 'head', and 'eye'; the subject-marking paradigms are elicited for the verbs 'to eat', 'to come', and 'to go'. The session was recorded on 31 December 2019, in Biga village (Misool island, Raja Ampat regency, Southwest Papua province, Indonesia). This dataset relates to the British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship 'Synchronic and diachronic investigations in Raja Ampat-South Halmahera, a little-known subbranch of Austronesian' (PF19@004); additional fieldwork funds were provided by a Moray Endowment Fund from the University of Edinburgh.
