摘要自新冠肺炎被宣布为全球流行病以来，已经过去了18个月，世界各地的语言学家不得不努力应对在参与者经历一场严重灾难的同时，试图以安全和远程的方式收集数据所产生的实际和伦理问题。目前的文集介绍了一些社会语言学研究项目的见解，这些项目要么是为应对大流行而发起的，要么是在中途调整了研究方法。一篇结束性的讨论文章强调，本文中的诚实反思和具体建议在新冠肺炎大流行之后仍将具有现实意义。对于任何(社会)语言学家来说，他们将是有价值的，他们正在不确定或创伤性的背景下探索田野工作的道德，他们通过远程手段招募和留住参与者，或者正在研究如何迅速改变他们的数据收集方法。
Abstract In the 18 months that have passed since COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic, linguists around the world have had to grapple with the practical and ethical issues that arose from trying to collect data in a safe and remote way while participants are experiencing an acute disaster. The current collection presents insights from a number of sociolinguistic research projects that were either initiated in response to the pandemic or that adjusted their research methods mid-trajectory. A concluding discussion article underscores that the honest reflections and concrete suggestions in this collection will remain relevant beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. They will be of value to any (socio)linguist who is navigating the ethics of fieldwork in uncertain or traumatic contexts, who is recruiting and retaining participants via remote means, or who is figuring out how to rapidly change their data collection methods.
