grad programs in documentation

Tue Apr 29 21:55:18 UTC 2014

Hi,

we (University of Arizona) are just about to approve a new major in Language Revitalization within the Linguistics Ph.D. program.  It includes documentation as well as revitalization methods.  This is separate from the Masters in Native American Linguistics (NAMA) program, which is for members of indigenous language communities, and focuses on training for working on one's own language for either documentation or revitalization purposes.

Thanks,
Natasha

The University of Victoria has a Master's Program in Indigenous Language Revitalization.  The deadline was January 15th, but they are stil accepting students.  The program starts in July 2014.

At SOAS, University of London, we have a specialist MA programme in Language Support and Revitalisation that covers issues like language policy and planning, language revitalisation and applied language documentation -- see http://www.hrelp.org/courses/ma/

Our students also do hands-on work with the Sylheti community in London, working with a local community centre 15 minutes walk from the university.

Hope this helps (and widens perspectives beyond the US :-)

Hi all,

One of our undergraduate majors was just in my office asking me for recommendations for graduate schools to apply to.  He’s interested in language documentation, and especially applications of documentary materials for teaching.  I know we’ve talked before about how some of us (well, me at least!) feel like training in those applied areas is really lacking.  I’m writing to ask what you would recommend as programs that would be good for a student interested in this.  The University of Hawaii is an obvious one for documentation, of course.  But where else?

thanks!
