Description:
The Universität Konstanz and the Université Bordeaux Montaigne are
offering the II Basque Summer Tutorial in Language Documentation. It
is funded and coordinated by the Université franco-allemande /
Deutsch-französische Hochschule (UFA/DFH), the Van Riemsdijk
Foundation, the research lab IKER (CNRS) and the
Sonderforschungsbereich 1760 SiNoSi (DFG). The tutorial is a formative
workshop, oriented to master and doctoral students, as well as other
interested practitioners in language documentation. The workshop
combines training related to the conceptual, technical, and ethical
issues raised by the practice in language documentation, specific
courses on the Basque language, and actual fieldwork in-situ. It
includes a hands-on training in ELAN, Praat and Audacity. Access to
the field, organized by the research lab IKER, will allow students to
carry out original research work based on a personal project that they
will have proposed to the workshop organizers as part of the
preliminary conditions for inscription. The lab proposes to the
interested researchers a network of Bascophone informants right at the
terrain.
