[RNLD] Language work at a distance

[Brenda Boerger]

Hi John,

We have the same question. And to address it, this (N. hemisphere) summer
in my language documentation course I’m inviting the students to explore
possible solutions.

We meet at 11:15am Central time, in the USA via Zoom. So I’m wondering if
you’d like to be in on the follow up discussion of their final
projects—which is to collect and annotate a tiny corpus which they propose.
The project debrief is scheduled for 3 August.

I’m hoping a result could be a “best practice” article about doing remote
lang doc fieldwork, with sections on issue like: inadequate equipment,
inadequate training, …only video sessions, etc. assuming no one else does
it first. And I’d like the students to be co-authors on the paper if/when
it happens.

~Brenda

so that it can be said of me,

With travel restrictions set to be in place for some time, I'm wondering
how linguists and language consultants may be able to continue working
together at a distance - via video calls, phone or perhaps some other
medium?



If anybody has some relevant experiences to share, I'd be very grateful.
