Overview
The Linguistic Semantics Lab (LiSLab) seeks student researchers to help in multiple stages of a research pipeline for investigating cross-linguistic variation vis-a-vis numeral reduplication among languages with numeral classifiers. Tasks may involve: mining dictionaries and grammars and other existing resources for information about classifiers and reduplication in the languages of interest, searching digital corpora for relevant examples, building electronic wordlists, recruiting native speakers of languages of interest for interviews, preparing elicitation materials for interviews involving visual and linguistic stimuli, helping to run interviews, interview data management, and writing interview reports.
Knowledge of any South Asian language could be useful. Programming experience welcome but optional.
Minimum time commitment 5 hours per week.
