Previous LIP discussions have looked at the <a href="http://www.rnld.org/node/256" target="_blank">practicalities</a> of collecting child language data, and how child language data might <a href="http://www.rnld.org/node/299" target="_blank">fit into</a> a larger documentation project. This month, we look at the social implications of working with children. <a href="http://www.uwa.edu.au/people/andrea.emberly" target="_blank">Andrea Emberly's</a> work on Musicology in South Africa explores the role children can take as researchers and participants in academic research projects. Is this a model that can also be successful in language documentation work? What level of explanation about the work we are doing should we be giving to child participants? What happens when children who participate in language documentation projects grow up?</div>
