Field Methods Students' Presentations

Visiting with Uŋkaŋna Glenn Wasicuna: A linguistic investigation of Dakota

In Fall 2023 and Spring 2024, the Field Methods in Linguistics I-II classes had a series of conversations with Waŋbdi Wapaha - Glenn Wasicuna, Sioux Valley Dakota Nation, who shared his language and knowledge on many topics with us. Students in each semester worked on individual research projects on topics in Dakota linguistics. Beyond individual projects, an additional focus of the courses has been to conduct linguistic documentation in collaboration with Uŋkaŋna Glenn that will be useful to language efforts. In this colloquium presentation, students in the Spring 2024 Field Methods in Linguistics II course will discuss the language situation for Dakota and context for our class; goals; methods; and some specific outcomes of our linguistic research.
