Beschreibungen/Notizen
Frishberg asserts that with an undergraduate degree in linguistics from University of California, Berkeley (Berkeley), I came to grad school in linguistics at University of California at San Diego (UCSD). Why UCSD? Because of the six places I applied to, five of which accepted me, only UCSD gave me financial support, in this case for being a foreign language teaching assistant. I arrived with an introduction to Ursula Bellugi from Dan Slobin, whose seminar in child language acquisition I'd taken at Berkeley. I arrived at UCSD from Berkeley's linguistics department, cofounded by Mary Haas, who aimed to preserve as many native languages of North America as possible before the speakers died. Her directive was that linguists must write a grammar and a dictionary and collect texts (of all sorts) to be confident they had documented a language. (It didn't have to be one person doing all three parts.) So, I arrived with the expectation that it was possible to make a dictionary, a grammar and collect texts for sign language.
