Field Station
The Maryland Language Science Center's Guatemala Field Station is proud to sponsor FAMLi 5 (the 5th conference on Form and Analysis in Mayan Linguistics), which will take place Aug. 10-11, 2018 in Antigua, Guatemala at Cooperación Española.
The first group of language scientists from UMD has arrived in Guatemala for a month of Mayan language study and research. Throughout June, they will be taking intensive classes in Kaqchikel, staying with Kaqchikel-speaking host families, working on language research projects and observing the work of healthcare non-profit Wuqu’ Kawoq / Maya Health Alliance.
Applications for the Summer 2019 Field School are now open.
Deadline March 11th 2019.
In 2016, the Maryland Language Science Center opened a research field station near the beautiful Lake Atitlán in the western highlands of Guatemala. This was the first of several planned international field stations, to support multi-disciplinary research involving local communities and languages.
