Nicholas Thieberger is a linguist who has worked with speakers of
Warnman, from Western Australia and South Efate, a language from
central Vanuatu. His grammar of South Efate broke new ground to
include citable data linked to an archival version of the primary
recordings. He is interested in developments in e-humanities
methods and their potential to improve research practice, and is
currently developing methods for creating reusable data sets from
fieldwork on
previously unrecorded languages. He is the project officer with the
multi-institutional Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital
Sources in Endangered Cultures (PARADISEC.org.au), a databank that
holds
3,000 hours of digitised audio files. He was an Assistant Professor
in linguistics at the University of Hawai'i and is currently an
Australian Research Council QEII Fellow at the University of
Melbourne.
a welcome addition to laying the groundwork for stronger
documentation practices.
*Marcus Smith, Studies in Language*
The publication of OHLF is a timely and invaluable resource ... for
instructing fieldworkers in many other facets of language
documentation - data collection and management, recording
performance, archiving, and interaction with the language
community.
