Lexicography Workshop

[Tom Payne]

The Summer Institute of Linguistics at the University of Oregon, as part
of its regular offerings, will be sponsoring a lexicography workshop
from 23 June to 14 August, 1998. The workshop will be led by Valentin
Vydrine, of the European University of St. Petersburg, Russia. Dr.
Vydrine is a specialist in the lexicography of West Africa, and is
corrently compiling a massive comparative dictionary of the Manding
languages. This workshop will be designed for all linguistic and
anthropological fieldworkers who are in the process of preparing a
dictionary of an underdescribed language.

Oregon SIL also offers a variety of graduate and undergraduate level
courses in field-oriented linguistics, including a "Workshop in
Grammatical Description."
