LSNG14-CR09 - CR09 Sarao

Full description

Coconut site: Sarao talks of a coconut he planted in 2011 when he came to Zeri for the first time, next to his and Wiza's house there. First in Nen, then in Nambu. Interesting explanation of L2 Nen speaker (he married Wiza c. 1984, lived in Bebdbn, and came to Bimadbn in 1998 to escape 'some problems', not because of sister exchange, has stayed ever since). GPS location of coconut tree: 8 74357 S, 142 08037 E. Interviewer: Nicholas Evans. This is a short interview made by Nick Evans at the small hamlet of Zeri, including statements about coconut trees by the person who planted them. Where possible, versions are given in two langauges (Nen and Idi, or Nen and Nambu) by the person concerned. Corresponding video files exist for most of the interviews (though most were shot by Michael Binzawa, shooting for the first time, and are of poor quality with regards to sound and camera angle); the relevant primary notes are in NS2014a:35-49. . Language as given: Nen
