Analytical notes on acoustic correlates of stress experiment 2

These are analytical notes presenting the three-sentence mini monologues used in the "acoustic correlates of stress in Mankiyali" experiment. The token in Sentence 1 for each mini monologue is focused and therefore contains phrase-level and word-level stress. Sentence 2 sets up the context for the token in sentence 3 to be devoid of phrase-level stress, allowing word-level stress to be teased apart and analyzed.

Description of millet plantation, part 1

Mrs. Humchung is one of the oldest people living in Thragom village. She describes the process of millet plantation. Firstly, they planted seedlings of millet, and after a few weeks, they made the soil loose. She says they practiced the labor exchange program, where they didn’t make cash payments to workers. During the break, they are offered fermented wine in an ox horn. Before millet plantation, they would get goats from Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, India, and use the manure as fertilizer. She says that millet was planted before the arrival of the magpie, and that planting millet after the arrival of the magpie was considered late and generally wouldn’t have a good yield.
