Children in Language Documentation
Continuing our theme from recent months of engaging in language
documentation with complex ethical and logistical considerations, this
month we turn to the issue of engaging children in language documentation.
Previous LIP discussions have looked at the
practicalities<http://www.rnld.org/node/256> of
collecting child language data, and how child language data might fit
into<http://www.rnld.org/node/299> a
larger documentation project. This month, we look at the social
implications of working with children. Andrea
Emberly's<http://www.uwa.edu.au/people/andrea.emberly> work
on Musicology in South Africa explores the role children can take as
researchers and participants in academic research projects. Is this a model
that can also be successful in language documentation work? What level of
explanation about the work we are doing should we be giving to child
participants? What happens when children who participate in language
documentation projects grow up?
Discussion led by Lauren Gawne and Giordana Santosuosso
