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

Wed Aug 7 12:52:58 UTC 2024

Hi Adam, 

I'd like to suggest two recently completed grammar projects in upland Laos: my colleague Angus Wheeler's grammar of Bru, and my grammar (and open-access corpus) of Saek. I talked about the monolingual method in the intro chapter, and touched on how that has informed some grammatical analyses later on (e.g. the section on the joint-attention clitic). 

Both grammars are temporarily in closed access; please let me know if you'd like the PDFs. 

Best, 
Weijian

> BACKGROUND INFORMATION
> The Acquisition Sketch Project is an initiative to increase diversity in the languages for which we have information about acquisition patterns (https://acquisition-sketch.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de<https://acquisition-sketch.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de/>). We provide detailed guidelines for creating an acquisition sketch based on five hours of data, and provide support through bimonthly online meetings and personal consultation.
> Currently, we are stepping our way through the topics in the Sketch Acquisition Manual (https://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/sp28-the-acquisition-sketch-project/). This meeting covers sections 5.0-5.2 of Part 2 of the Manual.
> The session will also be uploaded to our YouTube channel, where you can find the recordings of the other sessions as well: <https://www.youtube.com/@AcquisitionSketchProject> https://www.youtube.com/@AcquisitionSketchProject.
