Opis

Documenting endangered languages has become a major goal in the linguistic sciences. This volume showcases recent developments in methodology, technology and analysis, drawing on experience gained in a global range of documentation projects. It illustrates the significance of documentary linguistics not only as a set of documentary practices, but as a scientific discipline in its own right.

Recenzje

"The lessons in this volume are indispensable contributions to the field that make significant advances in the practice of documentary linguistics as a whole. Any documentary linguist, whether weathered veterans or just entering the field, would be remiss to neglect the lessons from it."
Daniel W. Hieber in Linguist List 23.2390
