Sensory perception and modals 0136-Sensory perception and modals A description and documentation of Avatime

Elicitation with Sammy, investigating the language used to describe sensory perception. We then did some work on modals. We asked Sammy to translate sensory predicates from English to investigate how sensory perception is described in Avatime. We then did some work on modals. This is the session where I first got good evidence that the a- future tense really wasn't a future. English was the language of discussions and elicitation, Avatime was the target language.
