| Jozina Vander Klok Field linguistics, language documentation, language description, fieldwork methodologies, linguistic analysis Linguistic Field Research Lab: All interested students are invited to join the lab's weekly reading group discussions. The group meets weekly on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 pm, in-person or online. The focus is on research surrounding topics on language documentation, language description, fieldwork methodologies, as well as on linguistic analysis of data. The reading group began meeting in October, 2025 and started with several chapters from Applicative Constructions in the World's Languages (eds. Zúñiga & Creissels, 2024), with the goals of (i) building a dataset for systematic comparison of some of the morphosyntactic alternations and (ii) creating a questionnaire for linguistic field research. Anyone can join this research and discussion series; however, it is volunteer-only at this point. Students are also welcome to share ongoing research on this topic. Open to: Current SFU students.
