DESCRIPTION:One of the major goals of linguistic theory is to account for
  attested grammars\, and at the same time rule out impossible grammars. 
 In order to achieve this goal\, we need accurate generalizations about w
 hat is (im)possible cross-linguistically\, which is why fieldwork on und
 erdocumented languages\, guided by theoretical considerations\, is of fu
 ndamental importance.\nIn this talk\, I report on my own experience doin
 g fieldwork on Kipsigis\, a Nilotic language spoken in Kenya. More speci
 fically\, I highlight the need for data from Nilotic and other understud
 ied languages\, I present my methodology\, success stories as well as ch
 allenges\, and I discuss what theoretical (especially generative) lingui
 sts can learn from linguistic fieldwork.
