Description:

The 17th edition of FieldLing, jointly organized by the Villejuif research labs LLACAN, SeDyL, and LACITO, will take place on September 1-5, 2025, at the INALCO, Paris.

FieldLing is an introduction to linguistic fieldwork. It aims primarily at Master and doctoral students in General Linguistics, but may also be interesting to students in anthropology and other social sciences planning to do fieldwork.

As in previous years, the programme of 2025 will include training sessions in general linguistics (e.g. morphology, syntactic typology), fieldwork preparation (e.g. questionnaires, recording), fieldwork itself (practice sessions with native speakers of different languages), and data structuring (e.g. how to write a dictionary or a grammar). Please refer to our official website for additional information: https://fieldling.sciencesconf.org/. The website will be updated regularly, so please follow our latest news on it.

The languages of the summer school are English and French. At least basic knowledge in both languages is required to be able to follow the entire program.
