=== Ethics ===
Ethical practices in language documentation have been the focus of much recent discussion and debate.<ref>Austin, Peter K. 2010. 'Communities, ethics and rights in language documentation.' In Peter K. Austin, Ed., ''Language Documentation and Description Vol 7''. London, SOAS: 34-54.</ref> The [[Linguistic Society of America]] has prepared an [http://www.linguisticsociety.org/sites/default/files/Ethics_Statement.pdf Ethics Statement], and maintains an [https://lsaethics.wordpress.com/about/ Ethics Discussion Blog] which is primarily focused on ethics in the language documentation context. The [[First Peoples' Cultural Council]] and [[Endangered Languages Project]] have released a [http://fpcc.ca/linguistcode Linguist's Code of Conduct] for engaging in documentation work. The morality of ethics protocols has itself been brought into question by [[George van Driem]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last=van Driem|first=George|date=2016|title=Endangered Language Research and the Moral Depravity of Ethics Protocols|journal=Language Documentation and Conservation 10: 243-252|hdl=10125/24693}}</ref> Most postgraduate programs that involve some form of language documentation and description require researchers to submit their proposed protocols to an internal Institutional Review Board which ensures that research is being conducted ethically. Minimally, participants should be informed of the process and the intended use of the recordings, and give recorded audible or written permission for the audiovisual materials to be used for linguistic investigation by the researcher(s). Many participants will want to be named as consultants, but others will not - this will determine whether the data needs to be anonymized or restricted from public access.
