Welcome to the library guide for LING 470S: Endangered Languages. Use the tabs above to navigate from page to page, and contact me if you have questions about research. I would love to help you!
The following information is excerpted from the class documents distributed by Dr. Fallon. Please see the original documents for up-to-date information.
From the syllabus (emphasis added):
Students will present the findings of their research in a brief 4-5 minute presentation during the time for the final examination.... At the final, students will also turn in a 15-20 page paper of original research (approved by the professor). Students must use 15-20 or more peer-reviewed sources or reference works using LSA documentation for references. Generally, it is better to pick a smaller topic that is examined in greater depth. Find something you're excited about.

The library provides guides to doing research in every subject that's taught at UMW. Here is the guide to doing research in Linguistics:
Much of the content on this guide was originally created by Jack Bales, UMW Librarian Emeritus, who is enjoying his retirement and is missed by his colleagues at Simpson Library.
