LING 57000 - Field Methods In Linguistics
Credit Hours: 4.00. This course deals with the basic techniques for collecting language data, and is designed to reproduce and explore the conditions and methods of linguistic fieldwork in a classroom. The course also addresses questions related to the ethics of retrieving linguistic data, the relations between the linguist and the speaking communities, and the use of the collected data. A non-Indoeuropean lesser-studied language will be examined with the help of a native speaker of the language. The main area of its grammar will be covered: phonetic and phonological system, inflectional and derivational morphology, basic syntactic structures and basic semantic phenomena. The final goal is to obtain a basic grammatical description of the language. Lab sessions will be directed towards the training in the software and audio and video tools used for the trade. Typically offered Fall Spring Summer.
