The 16th edition of FieldLing will take place on September 2-6, 2024, at the INALCO, Paris.
Presentation
FieldLing, the International School in Linguistic Fieldwork, is at present the only regular intensive training program in France preparing students to study theories and methods for language description through fieldwork. FieldLing introduces students to the complexity of scientific and ethical issues relevant to linguistic fieldwork, and to the technological tools that facilitate it. An assiduity attestation will be delivered at the end of the school.
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. Researchers and lecturers are also welcome. Fieldling is included in the studies program of INALCO and Paris 3.
FieldLing is organised by four laboratories. Three of them are attached to Labex EFL: LLACAN (UMR 8135, INALCO, CNRS), SeDyL (UMR 8202, INALCO, CNRS, IRD), and LACITO (UMR 7107, Sorbonne Nouvelle, INALCO, CNRS). One is attached to the National Museum of Natural History: EA (UMR 7206, MNHN, University Paris City, CNRS). FieldLing reveived financial support from the Doctoral school of the INALCO (Code EC INALCO: SDLA520b), PARIS 3, the Labex EFL, the SeDyL, and the LLACAN. The preliminary schedule includes training sessions on general linguistics (e.g., morphosyntax and typology), fieldwork preparation (e.g., stimuli and recording), fieldwork itself (practice sessions with native speakers of different languages), and data structuring (e.g., how to write a dictionary or a grammar). Additional information will be uploaded in the incoming months, please connect regularly to follow our latest update.
