「フィールド言語学演習」ケチュア語紹介プロジェクト : ケチュア語に挑戦しよう

This article is adapted from an informal booklet titled Let’s Try Quechua, which was part of the joint final work of Fieldwork II, a course in linguistic field methods offered in Tokyo Woman’s Christian University in 2020. It is a four-lesson introduction to Ayacucho Quechua for Japanese-speaking students composed after the style of popular self-teaching books on foreign languages available in Japan; each lesson consists of a short dialogue, a grammatical guide, and a vocabulary list. We intend to complete the concept of the class by reproducing the material here, for one of the major topics of Fieldwork II was language documentation: a sustainable treatment of linguistic data
