Studying Languages around the Globe
On 3 June 2019 at 6 pm there will be in the Senate Hall (Schlossplatz 2) a talk titled "Learning Languages Around the Globe". All interested parties are cordially invited. The talk will be in English.
Announcement
The number of the world’s languages is estimated at between 6000 and 7000. This cultural diversity is critically at risk. While only a few of the major languages receive attention and maintenance as national or global languages, the bulk of language diversity is harboured by smaller cultures and indigenous peoples in remote areas that increasingly give up their traditional languages and switch to one of the widely spoken national idioms. Linguists are eagerly working to describe the indigenous languages and their features before they vanish forever.
In this talk, three linguists will share their experience in linguistic fieldwork in three remote areas (Siberia, Burma/India and New Guinea). What does a linguist do? What is it like to live with indigenous peoples as a stranger? Why is it even relevant to research distant and „exotic“languages? These are just a few of the questions that will be answered. Furthermore, the listeners will gain basic insight in the structure of some of the languages which are investigated at the Institute for Linguistics at the University of Münster.
You will also find the event in the schedule.
