[RNLD] applied linguistics and documentation/description projects

[Jorge Emilio Rosés Labrada]

Dear Mark,

Tracy Hirata-Edds at Kansas University (Tracy wears many hats, applied
linguist among them) and a number of other folks working on Cherokee have
been collaborating for a number of years now and I think these
collaborations have led to some interesting results that show the
advantages of combining applied linguistics and descriptive linguistics.
She's published a number of papers but the one that comes to mind most
readily is her LD&C one on tone: http://hdl.handle.net/10125/26076

Two other linguists whose work I think is relevant to your query are Haley
De Korne (
https://www.hf.uio.no/multiling/english/people/postdoc-fellows/haleyjd/)
and Kate Riestenberg (https://www.kateriestenberg.com/), both working in
Mexico.

Best,
Jorge

PS: Tracy, Haley and Kate might be on this list (Tracy/Haley/Kate, I am
sorry if I answered before you had a chance to) so perhaps you'll be able
to hear more about their work from themselves.
