Language Documentation, University of Oregon


The University of Oregon Department of Linguistics and the Northwest Indian
Language Institute (NILI) announce the 2007 session in Language
Documentation
June 25 - July 20 2007, Eugene, Oregon

As documenting languages takes on greater importance, there is a growing
need for well-trained fieldworkers who are prepared to collaborate with
community members. The UO Linguistics Department focuses on lesser-known
languages and empirical work. NILI has a ten-year history of working with
tribes, communities and endangered languages. We look forward to having you
join us!

Offered courses:

LING 410/510 : Language Documentation Methods
This course gives fieldworkers an overview of current language
documentation practices.

LING 408/508 : Language Documentation Lab

LING 407/507 : Curriculum Design and Development
Students will learn how to produce useable teaching materials from

curriculum design and lesson planning will be taught.

LING 408/508 : Topics in Documentary Linguistics
This course covers some essential topics for fieldworkers-- Field
Phonetics, Ethical Issues in Field Work, Dictionary Writing, Methods for
