Credit: 3 hours.

Hands-on (learn-by-doing) practical course in elicitation of linguistic data, and theoretical analysis of that data, from an unfamiliar language. Students will elicit, record, and transcribe data collected in group interviews. The class as a whole will work on a language archive: (i) recordings collected throughout the semester and their transcriptions, (ii) a dictionary with vocabulary translated into English, (iii) the final projects. This course provides advanced undergraduate students with the opportunity to integrate their previous training with this practical experience. Class focus will depend on the experience students have with phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, and semantics.

3 undergraduate hours. No graduate credit. May be repeated in separate semesters for up to 6 hours, if topics vary or if a new language is in the focus of investigation. Prerequisite: LING 301, LING 302, and one of the following courses: LING 304, LING 307. Restricted to majors only.
