| Summary: | Eleven distinguished linguists reflect on their career-spanning linguistic fieldwork. Over decades, each has repeatedly stood up to physical, intellectual, interpersonal, intercultural, and sometimes political challenges in the pursuit of scientific knowledge. These scholar-explorers have enlightened the world to the inner workings of languages in remote communities of Africa (West, East, and South), Amazonia, the Arctic, Australia, the Caucasus, Oceania, Siberia, and East Asia. They report some linguistic eureka moments, but also discuss cultural missteps, illness, and the other challenges of pursuing linguistic data in extreme circumstances. They write passionately about language death and their responsibilities to speech communities. The stories included here - the stuff of departmental and family legends - are published publicly for the first time. |

Over decades, each has repeatedly stood up to physical, intellectual, interpersonal, intercultural, and sometimes political challenges in the pursuit of scientific knowledge. These scholar-explorers have enlightened the world to the inner workings of languages in remote communities of Africa (West, East, and South), Amazonia, the Arctic, Australia, the Caucasus, Oceania, Siberia, and East Asia. They report some linguistic eureka moments, but also discuss cultural missteps, illness, and the other challenges of pursuing linguistic data in extreme circumstances. They write passionately about language death and their responsibilities to speech communities. The stories included here - the stuff of departmental and family legends - are published publicly for the first time.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Linguistics</subfield><subfield code="x">Fieldwork.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Linguistics</subfield><subfield code="x">Methodology.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85077228</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Anthropological linguistics.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85005577</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Historical linguistics.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85061192</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Linguistique</subfield><subfield code="x">Recherche sur le terrain.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Linguistique</subfield><subfield code="x">Méthodologie.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Ethnolinguistique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Linguistique historique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">anthropological linguistics.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">historical linguistics.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES</subfield><subfield code="x">Linguistics</subfield><subfield code="x">Historical & Comparative.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Anthropological linguistics</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Historical linguistics</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Linguistics</subfield><subfield code="x">Fieldwork</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Linguistics</subfield><subfield code="x">Methodology</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Electronic book.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Sarvasy, Hannah S.,</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Forker, Diana,</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="t">Word hunters</subfield><subfield code="d">Amsterdam ;

Nomatsigenga fieldwork; Aha! Eleven distinguished linguists reflect on their career-spanning linguistic fieldwork. Over decades, each has repeatedly stood up to physical, intellectual, interpersonal, intercultural, and sometimes political challenges in the pursuit of scientific knowledge. These scholar-explorers have enlightened the world to the inner workings of languages in remote communities of Africa (West, East, and South), Amazonia, the Arctic, Australia, the Caucasus, Oceania, Siberia, and East Asia. They report some linguistic eureka moments, but also discuss cultural missteps, illness, and the other challenges of pursuing linguistic data in extreme circumstances. They write passionately about language death and their responsibilities to speech communities. The stories included here - the stuff of departmental and family legends - are published publicly for the first time. Linguistics Fieldwork.
