The Linguists

While at Swarthmore college, I have taken a number of Linguistics courses, and two of them (Phonetics and Phonology, Morphology and the Lexicon) I have taken with David Harrison. He is well known in his field for doing research on dying languages, ones which will become extinct very soon.

A year ago, a documentary about David's noble deed was made, called "The Linguists". Having received good reviews at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, this film is finally availabe online.

Here is a Wired article on the film and an interview with David Harrison.
