Linguistic Fieldwork
"Linguistic fieldwork does indeed convey the sense of excitement in conducting fieldwork, while at the same time discussing both the difficulties and rewards of doing such work...a book well worth reading, particularly by students who want a better idea of what to expect in entering the field for the first time and how to make the most of the opportunities that present themselves.  The book can also be useful to veterans of the field who are interested in finding new ways of approaching language in the field or are simply curious about the experiences of others."    Southwest Journal of Linguistics"This book is not only enjoyable to read, but it contains many useful insights into linguistic fieldwork, from a variety of perspectives."   Canadian Journal of Linguistics"This is a great volume for field linguists and linguistic anthropologists to read and is especially valuable for someone contemplating taking the plunge into fieldwork."
