Field Linguistics
The primary focus of this course is on practical work with a speaker of a (almost) non-described language, including structure and analysis of data.
The course also gives a more theoretical orientation on related themes such as ethical considerations, interaction techniques, aspects of documentation and recording and differences between description and documentation, practical considerations in the fieldwork situation, presentation of data, as well as general/typological aspects of syntax, morphology, phonology and phonetics, in accordance with the needs of the practical work.
