500x226px Trondheim Workshop in Language Description and Documentation
addresses aspects of language description and documentation.
A special focus lies on comparative Bantu studies and the description of tone.
Courses cover practical issues relating to speech and text annotation and methodological aspects of conducting semantic fieldwork, techniques to elicit data and the interaction between methodology and theory development.
The courses are open to 20 students on the first comes first served basis.

Text Annotation Online
Text Annotation or Interlinear Glossing (IG) is one of the most common methods used by linguists across fields.
This is not so surprising since IG results from a long tradition of aligning natural language text with one
or several lines of annotation consisting of a short-hand that indicates the text's internal grammatical structure.
IG is the main means to communicate linguistic data, making Interlinear Glosses the main currency of modern linguistics.
Yet, we as linguists do not share a common understanding concerning the function of IG neither in our daily research nor in our publications.
In this course we treat Interlinear Glosses as a language resource (unfortunately not yet a common assumption).
We discuss linguistic annotation standards, depth of annotation and data pertinence.
We will learn how to build small corpora, and how to be more conscientious about metadata.
The creation of reusable data and practices of data and knowledge sharing will be addressed.
We will make use of practical examples from different languages to show how to build pertinent and reusable linguistic resources.
The participants will be introduced to the online database TypeCraft and to methods of language documentation online.
