Videography-Based Documentation of Kere (Papua New Guinea) in Sociocultural Perspective [Dataset]

Full description

Language documentation output. This is a proposal to document Kere, a Chimbu-Wahgi language of Simbu Province, Papua New Guinea. The primary products will be a linguistic corpus of 30 hours of transcribed, annotated video and a series of eight professional-quality short documentary films about different genres of Kere language, designed for a local and popular audience. The corpus and the film series will capture Kere language in situ with special attention to (i) the visual and locational context, (ii) the culturally salient settings, and (iii) the socially-informed and interactive nature of Kere language use.
