Summer University Aarhus 2017: Sign Linguistics/Interpretation and
Linguistic Fieldwork
Aarhus University offers two exciting language related
courses this summer, one on fieldwork and one of sign languages and
interpreting.
Deadline for application for both is March 15, 2017.
(1) LANGUAGE DESCRIPTION AND LINGUISTIC FIELDWORK
This summer school course in language description and linguistic
fieldwork will give you a broad introduction to the practical and
methodological aspects of fieldwork, and the art of language description. It
will also provide insight in the structures of two unfamiliar languages. The
course consists of two parts: a structural course on a non-familiar language
(this year: Warrwa, Kimberley, Nyulnyulan, non
Pama-Nyungan, Australia) and fieldwork workshops with a speaker of an
underdescribed language.
Teacher: Prof. William McGregor, with
fieldwork experience in several continents and author of a handful of
descriptive grammars based on fieldwork.
Because of the practical orientation, only a
limited number of students are admitted.

(2) DEAF STUDIES: Sign Language Linguistics and
Interpretation.
In 2017, the deaf studies course has two themes.
The theme „Introduction to sign language linguistics“ provides a
comprehensive overview of language properties at various levels of sign
language use and methodology. The other theme „Introduction to Sign Language
Interpreting and Translation“ provides a comprehensive overview of sign
language interpreting and translation.
The course will be taught in International Sign,
with interpretation to English.
Teacher: Prof. Christian Rathmann.
