Schedule
The ELDP training workshop for 2011 will provide a variety of formal, informal and practical sessions dealing with topics in language documentation including fieldwork, collection and management of data, archiving, audio, video, and ethics. This workshop will take a group-based "workflow" approach, proceeding from issues and practicalities in collecting primary materials (audio, video), to analysing and archiving them.
