Mark,



Could you give fuller references for the two you quoted? I’ve taken student
interns for fieldwork with multi-focus projects, which have led to renewed
interest in language and culture. Not sure if that scratches where you
itch.

*Subject:* [RNLD] applied linguistics and documentation/description projects



Hello RNLD-ers,



There has been some discussion about coordination of efforts among applied
and descriptive linguists in documentation projects that are envisioned as
having a potential maintenance/revitalization component (e.g. Anderson
2011, Hildebrandt 2018), with a view toward improving potential
maintenance/revitalization outcomes for languages/communities. I was
wondering how much this has actually started happening in practice, and if
so what the experiences/outcomes have been like.



Could anyone point to some examples of past or current projects involving
in-principle-distinct "applied" and "documentary/descriptive" components,
ideally with multiple personnel associated to these different components,
ideally also with some associated literature (or websites, reports, blog
posts, whatever)? What I'm mainly interested in here is the multi-linguist
collaboration dynamic, but if there are other relevant case studies, I'm be
interested in learning about them too.



If there is a significant response off-list, I'll post a summary.



Many thanks in advance,

Mark
