Oxford Handbook of Linguistic Fieldwork - описание и краткое содержание, автор , читать бесплатно онлайн на сайте электронной библиотеки Lib-King.Ru.

This book offers a state-of-the-art guide to linguistic fieldwork, reflecting its collaborative nature across the subfields of linguistics and disciplines such as astronomy, anthropology, biology, musicology, and ethnography. Experienced scholars and fieldworkers explain the methods and approaches needed to understand a language in its full cultural context and to document it accessibly and enduringly. They consider the application of new technological approaches torecording and documentation, but never lose sight of the crucial relationship between subject and researcher. The book is timely: an increased awareness of dying languages and vanishing dialects has stimulated the impetus for recording them as well as the funds required to do so. The handbook is anindispensible source, guide, and reference for everyone involved in linguistic and cultural fieldwork.
