Simple sentence elicitation with Cirilo pt. 3 enx021 The Enxet Documentation Project

The sentences used for elicitation in this series of videos come from "Nentengiai’a nengiangveiakmoho neliatekamaha enenlhet apaivoma" (Unruh et. al 2003), a learners guide for another Enlhet-Enenlhet language known as Toba-Enenlhet. These elicitation sessions can be used both for the individual study of Enxet Sur, and for comparative work in conjunction with Toba-Enenlhet equivalents found in Unruh et. al (2003). Enxet Sur is an Enlhet-Enenlhet (Maskoyan) language of roughly 4,000 speakers spread across several communities in the department of Presidente Hayes in the Paraguayan Chaco. The purpose of this project is to create annotated audio-video recordings of Enxet with a focus on traditional use of plants and animals, to set up a lexical database and to begin detailed structural analysis for the enrichment of a more long term documentation project.
