Request for info - Language Surveys

[Linn, Mary S.]

Bernadette,

Let me know if you have any questions after you look over the materials that Joana recommended, The In-Field website has a lot of different community surveys and reports. It is really helpful to look at the different types of questions and ways of asking them. I'll be glad to help you!

 Here are a couple of good resources for language surveys.

 You could take a look at the Indigenous Language Institute Handbook
 Series (http://www.indigenous-language.org/).  Handbook 3 is "Conducting
 a Language Survey."

 Also, a 2010 InField Workshop by Mary Linn and Keren Rice addressed
 surveys, and the web page from the workshop has a number of resources:
