This course will be taught by Andrew Harvey
In this course, students will work in a simulated field situation with a speaker of a lesser-known language (Ihanzu) in order to collect, organise, and analyse novel linguistic data. Run in a seminar format, the main part of the course will see the class work as a team to plan and conduct elicitation sessions, manage the data and metadata generated, and conduct preliminary analyses of this data to address the general questions of the team, as well as the more specific questions of the individualised projects. Throughout, specialised support will be given in learning digital tools for field methods, working with and analysing the emerging data, and the preparation and presentation of findings to a specialised academic audience. This course is designed for those interested in pursuing documentary and descriptive fieldwork, those interested in collecting linguistic data for theoretical work, as well as those working with and evaluating previously-collected linguistic data.
Part I + II will be held online via Zoom. If the pandemic situation allows, Part III will be done in person
