The primary focus of the course is on practical work together with a speaker of a (almost) non-described language, including structure and analysis of data. In addition, a more theoretical orientation is given on related themes such as ethical considerations, interaction techniques, aspects of documentation and recording and differences between description and documentation, practical considerations of the field work, presentation of data, as well as general/typological aspects of syntax, morphology, phonology and phonetics, in accordance with the needs of the practical work.
