[Lingtyp] language documentation, language learning, & participant observation

[Adam James Ross Tallman]

Hello all,

I'm interested in gathering sources (research papers, chapters etc.) that
discuss the benefits of (or perhaps difficulties in) learning a language in
the field in a language documentation project.

I've sort of read and/or heard a lot of people talk about the benefits
either in interviews or in person and in presentations, but I'd like to
have some papers to cite and I thought here would be a good place to start,
because I'm likely biased towards the particular areas of the world I've
worked in.

For full disclosure, this is mainly about grant writing and referencing
such sources has two functions:
1 - Explaining why it's important to spend so much time in the field
2 - Explaining how field work *actually works*, that it does not just
involve interpreters
(I realize these are naive questions, but they come up as issues for
members of interdisciplinary panels)

best regards,

Adam
