WAU001 - Wauyai Maˈya - Basic words (landscape, plants)

This dataset contains elicited basic vocabulary from the Wauyai dialect of Maˈya with Pilipus Gimla (born 1955), a native speaker of Wauyai Maˈya. The words cover the semantic domains of landscape and plants (corresponding to the items on pages 16-22 in the Fieldnotes); all words were recorded in isolation, utterance-final, and utterance-medial context. The recording of this session is split across two audio files, WAU001-01 and WAU001-02. The conversation was recorded on 16 February 2023, in Waimalata hamlet (Waigeo 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'.
