Abstract
This chapter examines central ethical, legal, and practical responsibilities of linguists and ethnographers in fieldwork-based projects. These issues span all research phases, from planning to fieldwork to dissemination. We focus on the process of language documentation, beginning with a discussion of common ethical questions associated with fieldwork: When is documentation appropriate in a particular community, and who benefits from it? Which power structures are involved, both in and out of the field?
