LING 4008 - Honours Field Linguistics

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2015

This course is for students of Linguistics who are preparing for their role as researchers and practitioners. It focuses on language as it is spoken and our ability as researchers to render that language in a form that is suitable for analysis. Students will learn how to collect/record data, how to manage and store it and how to go about analysing it for a range of purposes, including language description and contrastive analysis to identify areas of difficulty for language learners. The course will deal with the context in which data collection takes place and will address research ethics and protocols, the Observers Paradox, and practicalities of recording, transcribing (both broad and narrow IPA transcription), organising (tagging) and archiving data. The course will look at the nature of the language data that is being recorded: oral versus written; natural speech versus elicited speech; ethnography of communication; varieties of language, borrowing, code-switching, style-shifting and diglossia. A range of analytical approaches will also be addressed. The particular focus of analysis will depend on the student cohort and their specific needs, but will include several of the following: Phonemic Analysis; Orthography Design; Contrastive Analysis (identifying difficulties for language learners); Morphological Analysis; Semantic Analysis; Lexicography; Syntactic Analysis; Analysis of Code-Switching. As a result this course will be able to address basic understandings and analytic techniques through practical investigation.
