Monolingual Demonstrations
The monolingual method has the linguist working with a native speaker of an exotic language to learn words in the speaker’s language, analyze sounds and structures, and demonstrate what a field linguist would do if he were in a place with no translator at all. This method was developed by Kenneth Pike, world-renowned linguist, poet, and professor, and it utilizes skills taught in the Certificate in Applied Linguistics program at Dallas International University.
