Dear Listers,

With 90% of languages facing extinction, we are more in need of field
work than ever.  However, it appears that there is a bottleneck in the
training of field workers: It seems that many professors who do not do
field work themselves are reluctant to direct field work of their
students.  If this is so, we believe that a short training course
would put professors in a position to begin overseeing field work.

In order to ascertain whether such a program is needed, we invite you
to take part in a survey, one designed for professors directing
student dissertations, and one for students.  The entrance point for
both is at:

http://saussure.linguistlist.org/cfdocs/emeld/survey.cfm

It should only take a few minutes.

Thanks for your help.  We will post a summary later.
