Description:
The field of language documentation has matured
over the last 15 years. With several funding
initiatives running out, community-driven
language documentation ensures sustainable
documentation. This summer school is designed
to encourage community-driven interdisciplinary
language documentation. It will bring together
speakers of endangered languages, local
language workers, students and researchers of
linguistics and related fields. The summer
school is intended to be a space for engagement
and exchange between community members,
language workers and students, and provide an
environment for learning about each other’s
interests and requirements. The curriculum is
developed to be in accordance with the needs
and interests of the speech communities. It
aims at empowering the speech communities to
participate in the definition and
implementation of research projects and
sensitize students of linguistic for the needs
of the communities. Thus, the major goal of
this summer school is to introduce the
participants into the theory and methods of
language documentation. The goal is to acquire
the knowledge and competence to conduct one's
own documentation projects with regard to
endangered language.
This summer school is part of a larger event.
