Description:
Cres Summer School In Linguistic Fieldwork And Documentation (CresSSLing)
University of Rijeka, Croatia
July 4th to July 8th, 2022
The CresSSLing summer school offers training in various aspects of linguistic fieldwork and language documentation. It is geared toward graduate and advanced undergraduate students in linguistics, philology and related disciplines interested in gaining specialized knowledge about the principles and methods of linguistic fieldwork and language documentation including annotation and analysis tools for processing and description of language data. Case studies and practical sections of the courses will concentrate on language varieties spoken in Croatia and Southeast Europe, an area with many minority and endangered varieties that are still understudied and not sufficiently known outside of the area. Students will also be able to discuss and work on their own language documentation and description projects. In its initial year, five different week-long courses will be offered:
- Essentials of language documentation
- Fieldwork in dialectology (with a focus on Croatian regional dialects)
- Practical aspects of fieldwork and interaction with communities speaking minority/regional/non-territorial languages
- An introduction to Praat and ELAN for field linguists
- Textological research (with an emphasis on historical syntax)
Short course descriptions can be obtained by contacting the organizers.
Participants will receive a total of 40 hours of instruction over a period of 5 days. Additional activities may take place in the evenings and one-on-one mentoring sessions with instructors will be possible in order to discuss specific questions or projects. Full attendance is expected and participants will receive certificates of completion.
