Multi-CAST Tulil (audio recordings)

This archive contains audio recordings for the Multi-CAST Tulil corpus (Meng 2019), originally published in July 2019 with version 1907 of the Multi-CAST collection (Haig & Schnell 2015). The annotation and documentation files accompanying these files have been archived separately. The recordings are available as WAV and MP3 files. Tulil [taul1251], also known as Taulil, is a Papuan language spoken in the East New Britain Province of Papua New Guinea. As of 2000, Tulil is spoken by approximately 2 000 people spread out over four villages (Tulil 1, Tulil 2, Kadaulung, and Toma). The six texts in this corpus comprise a subset of a larger collection of material that was recorded and transcribed during two field trips undertaken by Chenxi Meng in 2012 and 2015 for her PhD project, which has resulted in a comprehensive grammar of Tulil (Meng 2018). The entirety of the data has been deposited in PARADISEC. The texts selected for Multi-CAST include both traditional and personal narratives. Annotations with RefIND were added by Maria Vollmer.
