Field methods, or field linguistics, is a means for obtaining
linguistic data about languages unknown to the linguist. In this
course, students will learn how to work with an informant, how to
obtain a corpus of data, and how to organize and analyze the data. In
addition to the usual classroom activity, students will meet with the
informant for one hour each week to gather data. The language
studied, Sudanese Arabic, is spoken in The Republic of Sudan.

Students will be expected to write short grammatical sketches based
on their findings. There will also be a final project.
