| Description: | This recording follows up with the women of Oyacoto who had participated in earlier recordings. The women speak with interesting expressive prosodic features, for example together with directional gestures describing going down to the Guayllabamba river to find snails to eat or sell. The terms “Quichua” and “Inga” are both used to refer to the language. “Chicken” is pronounced “atulba” in the local dialect, with central vowel lowering but a northern pattern for /ll/ as /l/ in syllable-final position. Another neighbor joins in at around 10 minutes. The women ask Floyd a number of questions, turning the interview format around a bit. Finally, the women turn to some historical reflections, including a discussion of wildlife that used to be more common in the region. | |
| Ecuadorian Highland Quichua is a distinct Quechuan language unique to the Ecuadorian Andes, unintelligible with any other language in the Quechuan family. It is currently undergoing rapid shift to Spanish in all regions where it is spoken, but the most extreme language shift is found in Province of Pichincha where in most indigenous communities the only speakers are of advanced age. This project continues an ongoing effort to document Ecuadorian Highland Quichua across multiple provinces. This phase of the project focuses on areas of high language endangerment in Pichincha Province and bordering areas of neighboring provinces. Participants from multiple communities collaborate in filming conversations and activities including spoken Quichua in order to create a register of linguistic diversity across different dialects and micro-varieties. The recordings are then transcribed and translated to Spanish by a team of native speaker researchers. | ||
| Sessions include conversation and activities, semi-structured in collaboration with participants. | ||
