Course Description |
The purpose of the course is to give students first-hand experience and training in developing techniques for eliciting, transcribing and annotating linguistic data by working with a native speaker of a Formosan language that students (might) have never encountered before. The main emphasis will be on syntax, morpho-syntax, and semantic-syntax. Students will work on an individual project which can be on any aspect of the language in any linguistic theory, model or framework that they are familiar with or they have learned in the Syntax classes. In the end of the semester, a five-day field trip to the tribe village will be arranged. During this trip, students will be given chances to work intensively with more elderly native speakers in the village and get closely acquaintance with the local people and culture. |

Course Requirement |
All students in the class will meet together for three hours a week. The first two hours will be spent eliciting data from our informant. For the last hour students will present and discuss their work. All students must attend a five-day field trip scheduled in the end of the semester.
Everyone must participate in informant work, including recording/transcribing the data for class sessions and entering that data in a required format for our online database. In addition to the final term paper, assignments may be given and one final oral presentation is scheduled for students to report briefly their projects.
Both fieldtrip and final oral presentation are MUST. No fieldtrip, no final grade; no oral presentation, no final grade. |
