Mourning and burial 0136-Mourning and burial A description and documentation of Avatime

Elicitation session with Sammy, questions for interviewing other people and explanation of mourning and burial practices. At first we asked Sammy how to ask other people for general sociolinguistic information such as what languages they speak and how old they are. Then Sammy told us about what Avatime people do if a spouse dies. English was the language of discussions and elicitation, Avatime was the target language. Rebecca and Saskia questioned Sammy, then Sammy explained cultural practices to us.
