About this title

Synopsis

The present volume addresses the need for an up-to-date, accessible, and comprehensive introduction to the elicitation of linguistic data from native speaker informants. The material, following an introductory chapter surveying the general enterprise of field research, is organized into eight major areas of current linguistic and anthropological interest: Phonetics, Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics, Sociolinguistics/ Dialectology, Lexicography, and Folklore. The chapters are designed to be covered at a rate of one per week, based on a sixteen-week semester. Each chapter presents basic structures to be elicited, and provides cautionary tales drawn from the experiences of seasoned field workers who have attempted to elicit these structures. These, in turn, are followed by suggested readings and illustrative exercises for each chapter. Emphasis is placed not on developing a theory of field work, but rather on providing enlightening suggestions and entertaining anecdotes designed to guide students down their own personal path to linguistic discovery. Contents: Introduction - Transcription - Basic Lexicography - Semantics - Articulatory Phonetics - Acoustic Phonetics - Segmental Phonology - Prosodic Phonology - Nominal Phonology - Verbal Phonology - Syntax I: Collection Techniques and Session Planning - Syntax II: Advanced Work in Syntax Pragmatics - Sociolinguistics and Dialectology - Historical Linguistics - Text Collection - Appendix - References.

Shipping Terms

Shipping costs are based on books of average size. All orders to California addresses will be charged California sales tax of 7.75% at the time of order placement through a separate e-mail notification. Domestic shipping is at cost, usually $4.00 for normal octavo sized books via Media surface mail. Large heavy items requiring extra postage will be quoted separately to the buyer when placing an order through ABE. Priority Mail is $10.00. This price will only be charged if the book will not fit into a smaller flat rate envelope. If the book does fit into the smaller envelope Albion Books will adjust the cost to the customer down to the normal $5.50 flat rate charge before processing the order. This avoids having to query the customer in order to approve extra shipping charges. If the book is too large to fit into the $10.00 flat rate box the buyer will be quoted actual costs based on their postal zone and the weight from Irvine, California. For international orders Global Priority shipping is used when the book will fit into the standard large Global Priority envelope and Global Priority services are available to that destination. For books too large to fit the GPM envelope the buyer will be quoted extra postage charges based on the Parcel Post Air rate, always considerably higher than the Global Priority rate. All flat rate Global Priority mailings are $25.00 to all countries except Canada and Mexico, which are $23.00. Albion Books will adjust downward the airmail shipping from the listed rate at the time of order placement if the book will fit into the flat rate envelope. An ABE e-mail will inform the buyer of this lower rate. We do not recommend economy surface mail for international posting due to the extreme slowness of this method and the high risk for fraud.
