The Department of Linguistics<\/a> at SOAS and the Subject Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies<\/a> are jointly organising a workshop<\/a> on teaching linguistic fieldwork and sustainability on Friday 4th December 2009. The workshop is intended for both experienced and novice lecturers and students of Field Linguistics, and will introduce them to knowledge and skills from a wide range of areas in linguistic theory and practice, with a focus on learning about “real world” language problems and solutions.
\nThe workshop is aimed at students interested in learning more about fieldwork, and staff who are considering how fieldwork might fit into the linguistics curriculum. There will be two strands \u2013 one for beginners who are interested but have no experience of fieldwork, and one for advanced who have some fieldwork experience or have participated in a field methods course. For beginners, we will cover a range of fieldwork types, including language documentation and urban sociolinguistic fieldwork. For the advanced group topics will include language and culture documentation, sustainable documentation methods and phonetic fieldwork.
\nPresentations will be given by staff and post-graduate students from SOAS, Queen Mary University, Manchester University and Edinburgh University.<\/p>\n
