Thanks to the burgeoning of free or low cost technical resources for acoustic analysis, a much larger, more diverse group of researchers can now conduct detailed phonetic analysis for a variety of linguistic studies; however, the speed with which these resources are being made available makes it difficult for most researchers to keep abreast of the best use of the new technology. This Workshop addresses these methodological needs by providing specialized training for advanced graduate students and professors in the fields of sociolinguistics, field phonetics, corpus linguistics, laboratory/experimental phonology, language documentation and preservation, language acquisition, and social interaction. The venue for the Workshop is the Linguistic Society of America 2011 Summer Institute, devised to permit students and faculty from a cross-section of all subfields to interact and learn from each other. While the Workshop supplements the organizers' Sociophonetics Institute course, everyone at the Institute will be invited to participate in the Workshop.The Workshop presenters, 17 top researchers in specific subspecialties, will each teach the methodological techniques developed for their own research and then moderate a discussion session on the specific techniques. Each of the presenters has been chosen because of his/her accessibility and dynamic teaching and research reputation. The presenters will meet with students and other researchers the week of the Workshop during office hours and casual events, permitting all participants to incubate new research projects together. The presentation materials will serve as the basis for a Workshop website. The high quality of presenters and the planned level of interaction speaks to the intellectual merit of the proposal. The broader impact of this proposal will go to the research community, both students and faculty, who can take advantage of the Workshop to enhance the methodology of the work in their own subfields and to become more reflective about their research methodology.

由于声学分析的免费或低成本技术资源的迅速发展，一个更大，更多样化的研究人员群体现在可以为各种语言学研究进行详细的语音分析;然而，这些资源的速度使得大多数研究人员很难跟上新技术的最佳使用。本研讨会通过为社会语言学，现场语音学，语料库语言学，实验室/实验语音学，语言文献和保存，语言习得和社会互动领域的高级研究生和教授提供专门培训来解决这些方法论需求。研讨会的地点是美国语言学会2011年暑期研究所，旨在让学生和教师从所有子领域的横截面互动和相互学习。研讨会是对主办方社会语音学研究所课程的补充，研究所的所有人都将被邀请参加研讨会。研讨会的主持人是17位特定子专业的顶尖研究人员，他们将分别教授为自己的研究开发的方法技术，然后主持关于特定技术的讨论会。每个演讲者都是因为他/她的可访问性和动态的教学和研究声誉而被选中的。主持人将在工作坊的一周内与学生和其他研究人员在办公时间和休闲活动中会面，让所有参与者一起孵化新的研究项目。专题介绍材料将作为讲习班网站的基础。高质量的演讲者和计划的互动水平说明了该提案的智力价值。这一建议的更广泛的影响将去研究界，学生和教师，谁可以利用讲习班，以加强在自己的子领域的工作方法，并成为更多的反思他们的研究方法。
