Massep: A collaborative documentation with a special focus on language & music and language & children
The Endangered Language Documentation Programme (ELDP) provides grants worldwide for the documentation of endangered languages and knowledge. Grantees create audiovisual collections with transcription and translations of endangered languages and practices. These collections are preserved and made freely available through the Endangered Languages Archive (ELAR).
| Massep is a language spoken by 30-40 people in the Sarmi regency, Papua/Indonesia. The documentation of Massep will produce a collection of broad variety of culturally relevant speech practices in a collaborative documentation project. In addition to that, the project has two main foci: 1) language and music 2) language and children. These are highly susceptible to endangerment and the collected materials will offer the possibility for exciting interdisciplinary research projects of two under-researched areas. |
