Phonological and morphological elicitation 0136-Phonological and morphological elicitation A description and documentation of Avatime

Elicitation session with Sammy looking into subject agreement markers in the aorist and minimal -/+ ATR pairs. Saskia and Rebecca first tried to elicit minimal pairs with high vowels differing only in ATR value. They went through a list of possible minimal pairs like this described in Maddieson (1998). They then elicited verbs with subject agreement markers from different noun classes in the aorist. English was used for elicitation and discussion. Avatime was the language under discussion.
