Welcome to the WikiEdu portion of the UH Mānoa course, LING 720: Language Typology (Spring 2017). For this course you will adopt a language (or language group) and report regularly on various typological features, as they are discussed in class. You should decide on a language within the first three weeks of class and confirm your choice with the instructor. It is imperative that you have access to sufficient resources on the language to address the typological questions covered in this class.
During the course of the term you will be creating or expanding a Wikipedia article for your adopted language. We’ll be following a WikiEdu curriculum which provides training on Wikipedia article creation and lays out some milestones for your page. Don’t worry if you’ve never edited a Wikipedia article; by the end of the course you’ll be an expert!
As we proceed through the term we’ll be adding more and more content to our Wikipedia articles. You’ll also be critiquing the articles your peers are writing and responding to their comments on your article. At various points you will give an in-class update (oral report) on your progress with respect to various aspects of typology. These reports will be presented orally in class (5-10 minutes). Dates are noted below in the timeline.
The syllabus for the main class can be found at bit.ly/ling720syllabus.
