''Mixing it up: from the lab to the field and back again.''
May 29 - June 2, 2018 ~ Indiana University, Bloomington

While language science is moving in an ever more experimental direction, and
tightly controlled experiments in lab settings can generate invaluable
information about human language, such studies are not always possible,
realistic, or productive in the context of actual language usage. Humans are
members of communities, and linguists often work in the field, in communities.
Speakers are not just passive consultants, but are members of a language
community, agents who ‘do’ the language. The data generated by fieldwork,
which is also invaluable, presents its own challenges—including technological
challenges, like how to organize and annotate records in order to render them
maximally accessible and useful. PhonFest is designed to create a space for
dialogue: How can practices from the lab inform our work in the field, and
vice versa? How can we pull the best elements from both worlds together to
strengthen the work we do? Expert speakers from the US and abroad will address
these topics.

Invited Speakers:

Cynthia Clopper, The Ohio State University
Christian DiCanio, University at Buffalo
Josef Fruehwald, University of Edinburgh
Marija Tabain, La Trobe University

Dates:

Tues. May 29 – Fri. June 1: Invited speakers present short courses.
Sat. June 2: Conference for Fest participants to present their own work.
Mon. June 4-Thurs. June 7: Incubator week! Designated work time (in a
supportive environment) to help propel your work from where it’s at to the
next stage.
