Description

Author: Jack B Martin, Margaret McKane Mauldin Mid-America Linguistic Conference Papers, 1996. - 12 p.Most field methods classes in graduate linguistics programs focus on transcription, organization, and analysis of data from a speaker of another language. Relatively little attention, if any, is devoted to the political, social, and ethical dimensions of fieldwork and scholarship. Ethical issues are rarely felt to be a matter of concern when fieldwork is conducted on major languages. As linguists increasingly turn their attention to endangered languages (which are endangered precisely because they are spoken in marginalized communities), there is a heightened need to find solutions to ethical and practical issues and to find solutions quickly.
