7/22/2019: This is probably, hopefully, my last post from La Leona. I'm planning to leave on Wednesday morning, assuming that it doesn't rain and trap me here (forecasts vary. I am anxiety incarnate). After my mini panic about prepping the class I've just found out I'll be teaching next semester (my first class!) combined with writing a proposal for my qualifying paper, I feel like I have a solid direction to go for my last 2 days (today and tomorrow) of elicitation, as suggested by my advisor. I'm back to working off word lists from related languages, which I actually think my consultants like better, and today went pretty quickly. So well, in fact, that I actually had the energy to transcribe after the fact as well! My transcription process continues to take up an entire table. Here's hoping that tomorrow goes equally well (and is equally dry) and that my next post is made from Filadelfia or Asunción!
7/17/2019: I made a post a couple of days ago but tumblr consumed it, I guess. The most exciting news is that I met a new consultant and he helped me transcribe and translate slightly over 2.5 minutes of a text, in two hours! (This seems slow but actually is amazing). Unfortunately, he's the village leader and very busy, so I don't know if I'll be able to work with him again before I go. He's very interested in language documentation itself, so might have some good ideas for community based collaboration! I drew some cacti for him to try to get the words in angaité...I am clearly not an artist. I'm also weirdly proud of these messy multilingual notes from when he was telling me about the history of the area. This is what my brain is like inside all the time right now. See also, this lovely sun-screen my consultant helped me build this morning so the sun didn't just obliterate my entire video.
7/8/2019: My first full day of elicitation! Pros: got a lot of words elicited that I wanted to compare to my Toba-Enenlhet data from last summer. Made plans to walk to a different community tomorrow with my consultants to meet another speaker. Cons: discovered that these consultants, while lovely, are not the type for which transcription and phrasal translation comes easily, and my guarani is not up to the challenge of disambiguating things.
In other news: has been warm during the day here and cold cold cold at night, though tonight seems less cold, based on the quantity of mosquitoes attacking me. Also, every field guide I've ever read talks about how a few hours of elicitation can create many more hours of work for the linguist and I'm here to attest that THIS IS TRUE. Apologies also, in advance, for the disaster of IPA/practical orthography/modified practical orthography that are my notes. It's shameful but we're here now.
