Phonetics: Field Methods

In order to gain a full understanding of the phonetic structures found in the world's languages, it is crucial to consider all languages, including those that cannot be researched in a laboratory setting. This article describes the methods used in collecting acoustic and articulatory phonetic data in fieldwork settings, and illustrates the kinds of questions that are addressed in conducting phonetic fieldwork.
