film report

 After you've watched one of the films, write a brief reaction, which should be between 400-500 words in length. Your reaction can deal with any of the linguistic aspects of the film. Some suggestions:

• How is the linguistic situation of the community seen in this film different from your own linguistic experience? How is it similar?
• How are the grammatical features of the language discussed in the film similar to, or dissimilar from, those of the language(s) you know?
• What did you think of the kinds of linguistic research (e.g. archival research) illustrated in this film?
• Did watching this film inspire any broader thoughts about the relationship between language and identity? language rights and human rights?
• Did watching this film inspire any broader thoughts about the documentation of understudied languages and linguistic systems? About linguistic diversity around the world?

Reactions of all kinds -- questions, comments, speculation, etc. -- are welcome here.

Compose your response in a word processor then paste it in the Text Entry field associated with this assignment.
