This course is an introduction to the elicitation of linguistic data from native speaker informants. The course includes the following sections: speakers, transcription, lexicography, semantics, phonology, morphology, text collection and syntax. Each section presents basic structures to be elicited, followed by suggested readings and illustrative exercises. Emphasis is placed not on developing a theory of fieldwork, nor on learning linguistic theory, but rather on how to collect relevant data successfully.
