Welcome to the Rutgers Linguistic Fieldwork Lab!
The Rutgers Linguistic Fieldwork Lab brings together faculty and students who work with primary linguistic data from a range of languages and language families. The lab is a place to discuss ongoing research, share new or preliminary data, and think through questions about linguistic analysis, elicitation methods, and other aspects of fieldwork.
Our meetings are informal, and work at any stage of development is welcome. Participation is open to anyone interested in linguistic fieldwork, regardless of language family, subfield, theoretical framework, or career stage.
If you’d like to be added to the mailing list, please contact either Maria Kouneli or Ryan Walter Smith.
