  • LING 407a/507a: Workshop in Grammatical Description

    1.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Bushnell University

    This Workshop in Grammatical Description is designed for experienced field linguists who wish to concentrate on developing an insightful and clear grammatical description utilizing a functional and typological approach. Participants register for Syntax & Semantics I and/or II (Ling 451/551 and 452/552), and shape their grammatical description around topics covered in those courses. Regular consultation is provided by faculty on specific language problems, leading to the production of a publishable grammar sketch. Participants in previous workshops have found the functional and typological approach to grammar to be extremely valuable for better understanding and describing the language they have been studying. Instead of emphasizing complex and often short-lived theory-specific formalisms, this approach focuses on precise prose description of grammatical structures as they function in a discourse and communicative context. Participants should have had two years experience in investigating a language, and should come prepared with interlinearized texts of several genres.
