[RNLD] applied linguistics and documentation/description projects

[Mark W. Post]

Apologies, the references I cited earlier are:

Anderson, G. D. S. (2011). "Language Hotspots: what (applied) 
linguistics and education should do about language endangerment in the 
twenty-first century." Language and Education 25(4): 273-289.

Hildebrandt, K. A. (2018) Teaching about endangered languages in the 
undergraduate curriculum. Language and Linguistics Compass  DOI: 
https://doi.org/10.1111/lnc3.12283

@Brenda: I'm certainly interested in learning about multi-participant 
projects involving, for example, botanists, anthropologists, 
archaeologists, etc., and linguists in a general sense, but what I'd 
like to focus on for present purposes is project-based collaborations 
between applied linguists and documentary/descriptive linguists, of the 
nature outlined by Anderson in the article cited above.

Thanks again
Mark
