[Linganth] linguistic proficiency

[Michele Koven]

Hello,

A colleague in applied linguistics/SLA asked me a question that I 
thought readers of this list might have some good leads for. Can 
someone suggest readings that address how, methodologically, 
linguistic anthropologists manage their own (usually) non-native 
linguistic skills, when doing detailed analysis? I thought some of 
you might have some more specific references--classic or contemporary 
discussions. The main references that came to my mind were Bambi 
Schieffelin's close review of recorded materials with participants, 
and Gumperz's playing of samples to participants to elicit their 
interpretations. Others?

Thanks!!
