[RNLD] applied linguistics and documentation/description projects

[Mark W. Post]

Hello RNLD-ers,

There has been some discussion about coordination of efforts among 
applied and descriptive linguists in documentation projects that are 
envisioned as having a potential maintenance/revitalization component 
(e.g. Anderson 2011, Hildebrandt 2018), with a view toward improving 
potential maintenance/revitalization outcomes for languages/communities. 
I was wondering how much this has actually started happening in 
practice, and if so what the experiences/outcomes have been like.

Could anyone point to some examples of past or current projects 
involving in-principle-distinct "applied" and "documentary/descriptive" 
components, ideally with multiple personnel associated to these 
different components, ideally also with some associated literature (or 
websites, reports, blog posts, whatever)? What I'm mainly interested in 
here is the multi-linguist collaboration dynamic, but if there are other 
relevant case studies, I'm be interested in learning about them too.

If there is a significant response off-list, I'll post a summary.

Many thanks in advance,
Mark
