Ep. 49: Alexandra Philbin on Irish and Catalan Language Research & Revitalization

This month's episode is with Yulha Lhawa from the<a href='https://linguistics.washington.edu'> University of Washington </a>and the <a href='https://www.endangeredlanguages.com/'>Endangered Languages Project</a>. 
<a href='https://linguistics.washington.edu/people/yulha-yi'>Yulha Lhawa</a>, originally from Siyuewu Village in Sichuan, China, is a passionate advocate for her community's traditions and language. Growing up as a yak herder, Yulha developed an interest in linguistics during high school. This interest fueled her to create the trilingual book "<a href='https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/items/e76d2158-360d-46ac-8e85-1e0fedff6341'>Warming Your Hands by Moonlight</a>," aimed at preserving local history and folklore. Taking her dedication a step further, Yulha journeyed to the United States from the Himalayas to study linguistics at the <a href='https://humanities.uoregon.edu/linguistics'>University of Oregon</a>. Currently, she's pursuing a Master's in computational linguistics at the <a href='https://linguistics.washington.edu'>University of Washington</a>, hoping to merge her linguistic knowledge with modern technology to contribute to the preservation of her community's cultural heritage.

Ep. 48: Yulha Lhawa on Khroskyabs Language Documentation & Revitalization

This month's episode is with <a href='https://www.uv.es/uvweb/college/en/profile-1285950309813.html?p2=grzech&amp;idA='>Dr. Karolina Grzech</a> at the <a href='https://www.uv.es/uvweb/college/en/university-valencia-1285845048380.html'>University of Valencia</a>. Karolina is a documentary and descriptive linguist, working mostly on <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quechuan_languages'>Quechuan languages</a> and natural language use. Her main topics of research are evidentiality (encoding how we know things) and epistemicity (encoding different aspects of knowledge). She is particularly interested in how these categories play out in natural discourse. She also researches pragmatics in general, and, language endangerment and methodology of linguistic fieldwork, with special reference to the indigenous language of South America. Karolina is also interested in the socio-economic issues which affect minority and endangered languages and the communities which use them.
Finally, if you are interested in learning more about Quechuan languages, last season Field Notes aired an interview with <a href='https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=SD8Jgx4AAAAJ&amp;hl=en'>Gladys Camacho Ríos</a> on her work with her native language, <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Bolivian_Quechua'>South Bolivian Quechua</a> (episode linked below in show notes).

<description>&lt;p&gt;This month's episode is with &lt;a href='https://www.uv.es/uvweb/college/en/profile-1285950309813.html?p2=grzech&amp;amp;idA='&gt;Dr. Karolina Grzech&lt;/a&gt; at the &lt;a href='https://www.uv.es/uvweb/college/en/university-valencia-1285845048380.html'&gt;University of Valencia&lt;/a&gt;. Karolina is a documentary and descriptive linguist, working mostly on &lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quechuan_languages'&gt;Quechuan languages&lt;/a&gt; and natural language use. Her main topics of research are evidentiality (encoding how we know things) and epistemicity (encoding different aspects of knowledge). She is particularly interested in how these categories play out in natural discourse. She also researches pragmatics in general, and, language endangerment and methodology of linguistic fieldwork, with special reference to the indigenous language of South America. Karolina is also interested in the socio-economic issues which affect minority and endangered languages and the communities which use them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally, if you are interested in learning more about Quechuan languages, last season Field Notes aired an interview with &lt;a href='https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=SD8Jgx4AAAAJ&amp;amp;hl=en'&gt;Gladys Camacho Ríos&lt;/a&gt; on her work with her native language, &lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Bolivian_Quechua'&gt;South Bolivian Quechua&lt;/a&gt; (episode linked below in show notes).&lt;/p&gt;

Ep. 47: Karolina Grzech on Evidentiality and  Epistemicity in Quechuan Languages

This month's episode is with <a href='https://katelynnlindsey.weebly.com/'>Dr. Kate Lindsey</a>. Kate is a professor of linguistics and co-director of the<a href='https://sites.bu.edu/sulalab/#:~:text=The%20SULa%20Lab%20investigates%20the,revitalization%20of%20lesser-known%20languages.'> Structures of Under-Researched Languages lab</a> at <a href='https://www.bu.edu/'>Boston University</a>. Her research has both theoretical and documentary applications. Her theoretical work focuses on the analysis of underspecification and variation in phonological systems supported primarily by field data. Her dissertation utilized original data from eleven months of fieldwork with Ende speakers of Limol village, Papua New Guinea to explore the interaction of so-called ghost elements pervasive in Ende phonology. Current research projects include extended fieldwork in the South Fly area of Papua New Guinea to support the first reference grammar of Ende, a typological study of the Pahoturi River language family, and theoretical analyses of vowel harmony and phonological reduplication.
