Announcement

Linguistics in the Pub (LIP) April 2011

Organised by RNLD http://www.rnld.org

Topic: Elicitation techniques and fieldwork stimuli: show and tell

In recent years, linguists have expanded the types of activities they
undertake with speakers in the field. While traditional fieldwork
techniques such eliciting verb paradigms and traditional myths might
still be considered good starting point. Linguists have designed tasks
and activities to investigate particular grammatical phenomena,
compare cognition across languages or simply record naturalistic
talk-in-interaction.

The idea of this session is that people bring along materials and talk
about them. If you have designed or used interesting materials it
would be great to hear about it. A projector will be available if you
need it to help demonstrate your materials.

Some examples we might discuss:
