Enfield This book is a comprehensive, practical guide to field linguistics. It deals in particular with the problems arising from the documentation of endangered languages. Deploying a mixture of methodology and practical advice and drawing on his own immense experience, Terry Crowley shows how to record, analyse, and describe a language in the field. He covers the challenges and problems the researcher is likely to encounter, offers guidance on issues ranging from ethics to everyday diplomacy, and provides full discussions of corpus elicitation, how to keep track of data, salvage fieldwork, dealing with unexpected circumstances, and many other central topics. "We all learn by our mistakes," he writes, "and I have plenty of my own to share with you."Oxford linguistics.LinguisticsFieldworkElectronic books.LinguisticsFieldwork.410.7/2Crowley Terry673835Thieberger Nick801681MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451623703321Field linguistics2054885UNINA
