Description | These data were collected by Kaufman in July and August 1993 in Porto Velho, Rondonia state, Brazil. Dan Everett had invited TK to Brazil to give lectures on field methods to a group of SIL linguists. Everett and Robert Dixon organized a workshop on grammar-writing for SIL people in Northern Brazil; about 15 SIL linguists were there for 6 weeks; they attended lectures in the mornings and gave reports in the afternoons Kaufman agreed to teach only if he could do field work in the afternoons. These file slips were collected during this trip. The Dení data were from two brothers, Kazupana & Haku (the only names that Kaufman noted for them), of the same father, different mothers, and about 25-30 years difference in their ages. They were from Merrão, a town on the river Cuniuá (spelled Kunyuwá by Kaufman) in the state of Amazonas in Brazil. The Suruí data were from Pedro Surui, whose name in his language was Kabéte:m; he was from Linha Onze (Line Eleven), Rondonia, Brazil. Both Dení and Suruí are noteworthy because they both have as many animal names as plant names (where many cultures in that area have more plant names). Data collection dates: Dení Animals: 28 hours, 21 July to 3 August 1993 Plants: 23 hours, 3-15 August 1993 Suruí Animals: 22 hours, 22 July to 2 August 1993 Plants: 22 hours, 3-15 August 1993 All documents are handwritten.
