Hi all,

I'm teaching an undergrad ling anth methods seminar this semester.  I'm
familiar with several good sources on writing fieldnotes in cultural
anthropology, but has anything been written on fieldnotes in linguistic
anthropology, specifically?  The subfield has, of course, unique challenges
and requirements related to documenting linguistic data and the details of
verbal interactions.  I for one am a firm believer that fieldnotes remain
an important data source, whether to supplement recordings or in their own
right when recording is not feasible.

Thanks,
Evelyn
