[RNLD] Field Linguistics Texts

[Donna Starks]

There is also the edited volume that Kerry Taylor-Leech and I  just published on Doing Research within Communities. It’s geared more to applied linguistics and language education research but its got basic info that might be useful on ethical issues, language choice in fieldwork etc.

Taylor-Leech, K. & D. Starks. 2016. Doing research within communities. Routledge.

Cheers,
Donna

Hi Leslie,

There is also:

Chelliah, Shobhana L., & De Reuse, Willem J. (2011). Handbook of descriptive linguistic fieldwork. London: Springer.
The book is broader than would be needed for a field methods class, but it is usefully comprehensive.
Cheers,
Lauren

Hi all, I think Samarin's manual is well and truly out of date. There are short, readable monographs by Terry Crowley and by Claire Bowern, the excellent collection of chapters in Ratliff & Newman ('Linguistic Fieldwork'), and most recently the OUP publication edited by Nick Thieberger, which emphasises the interdisciplinary nature of linguistic fieldwork. Finally, though it doesn't bear the title 'fieldwork', the collection of chapters on language documentation in Gippert, Himmelmann and Mosel (2006) remains an excellent source.

Hi Everyone,

Is anyone able to tell me what text/s on linguistic field work are being most commonly used these days?  Keren Rice (2006) says that Samarin’s classic book  “Field Linguistics: A Guide to Linguistic Fieldwork” is the best known text and had not been replaced as of 2006. I was wondering if anything has been published since and what is most commonly used these days?

Cheers Lesley Woods
