Field Linguistics Workshop
ILCAA offers various workshops on "field linguistics", aimed especially at graduate and post-graduate students and junior scholars.
Workshops offered are mostly but not exclusively on documentation and description of underdocumented languages. They are complementary to courses offered at universities in Japan, thereby filling the gaps in the training of young linguists -- an important role of ILCAA.
At most of the Field Linguistics Workshops, participants are required to bring their original data, i.e., data obtained through their original field research. The instructors give guidance, but the participants also learn from each other, through sharing their ideas and experience.
ILCAA maintains a young scholars group called "Fieldling". Members of Fieldling can make requests about workshops on certain areas or on certain topics of field linguistics; many of the requests are conceptualized and conducted at ILCAA. This is a way of answering and meeting the needs of young scholars community.
There are three series of workshops under Field Linguistics Workshops:
- Documentary Linguistics Workshop
- Annually held a week-long intensive workshop and related workshops on language documentation.
- Grammatical Studies Workshops
- Workshops on various grammatical topics.
- Technical Workshops
- Workshops on technical issues concerning field linguistics, such as managing and processing linguistic data.
