Job Rank: Researcher

Specialty Areas: Language Documentation 

Required Language(s): English (eng)

Description:

The Oxford Dictionary of African American English is a landmark scholarly
initiative documenting the lexicon of African American English (AAE) in a
dictionary based on historical principles. The ODAAE will be compiled and
edited by a team of researchers, lexicographers, and editors sponsored and led
by the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) and Harvard University’s Hutchins
Center for African and African American Research. The joint team will apply
the depth and rigor of the OED’s historical methodology specifically to the
study of African American English (AAE) in order to create a dictionary to
further illuminate the history, meaning, and significance of this body of
language.

As an ODAAE researcher, you are responsible for carrying out a variety of
pre-editorial and research tasks to support the revision and drafting of ODAAE
entries in collaboration with ODAAE editors, including researching previous
lexicographical work relating to AAE, searching and analysing corpora of
digital and digitized texts, and recording quotation evidence to illustrate
and elucidate the history and development of AAE words and senses. This is a
term position of six months with a possible six-month renewal. Weekly schedule
ranges from 14-25 hours. $25 per hour.
