Meeting Description: 

Multiple methods for the study of indigenous languages is a linguistics
workshop that will take place as part of the International Congress of
Americanists (http://ica2018.es). 

Corpora studies allow us to analyze spontaneous and more controlled oral
production data. This is particularly relevant to the study of indigenous
languages. Less is known about comprehension of aural data or about
interpretation and grammaticality judgments among speakers of indigenous
languages. It is only very recently that the study of indigenous languages has
started to benefit from experimental methods.  Experimental fieldwork opens up
new opportunities of bringing together typological studies, grammatical
description, bilingualism studies and psycholinguistic methods that uncover
grammatical processes which complement corpora studies. Procedures such as
sentence/picture matching, elicited imitation, act-out techniques, controlled
speeded judgment, self-paced listening, lexical decision, priming and even
more sophisticated techniques such as eye-tracking can now be included. This
symposium aims at bringing together researchers working with different
culturally appropriate experimental techniques among indigenous populations.
Our goal is to share experiences and to exchange ideas about challenges and
opportunities that emerge from the indigenous communities themselves. We
welcome papers that discuss how to approach experimental methods and their
limits and advantages vis a vis more naturalistic corpora-based studies and
how to do so in an participative way that incorporates indigenous researchers’
perspectives. If you would like to submit an abstract please register at ICA
(https://www.conftool.pro/ica2018/index.php?page=register&lang=1) and upload a
1-page abstract (excluding examples, graphics and references). If you have any
questions please contact Marcus Maia (UFRJ, Brazil) or Liliana Sanchez
(Rutgers U, USA) at methods.ica at gmail.com.
