Tomlin With National Science Foundation support, Dr. Russell Tomlin and his collaborators will purchase: computing equipment needed to develop animations and other video elicitation materials for cognitive research; computing equipment needed to run multiple subjects for experimental research; and video, sound and computer equipment needed for field research and data analysis. The Department of Linguistics at the University of Oregon focuses on empirical, data-oriented research in two principal inter-related areas: descriptive linguistics and cognitive linguistics. The equipment provided will permit the department to develop the infrastructure needed to expand, in a significant fashion, both empirical and experimental research. The group will develop discourse elicitation and experimental tools suitable for the field situations but also well-grounded in cognitive principles of language use which can be tested in a laboratory setting. On this basis, insights drawn from careful, cross-linguistic description can serve to develop sound cognitive theories of language and language use. Large numbers of languages in many parts of the world are on the verge of extinction as the pools of native speakers die out. The Oregon department has focussed on collecting such rapidly disappearing information and using it to develop broader language theories. The proposed equipment has a visual component which will permit investigators to present a carefully controlled scenes which can vary in specific ways and use these as elicitation devises to provide insight into grammar and discursive form. The equipment will be used not only by a number of professional linguists but also by many graduate and undergraduate students.

在国家科学基金会的支持下，拉塞尔·汤姆林博士和他的合作者将购买：为认知研究开发动画和其他视频启发材料所需的计算设备；运行多个实验研究对象所需的计算设备；以及实地研究和数据分析所需的视频、声音和计算机设备。俄勒冈大学语言学系专注于两个主要相互关联的领域的经验性、数据导向研究：描述语言学和认知语言学。所提供的设备将使该部能够发展所需的基础设施，以便以重要的方式扩大经验研究和实验研究。该小组将开发适合现场情况的话语启发和实验工具，并以语言使用的认知原则为基础，这些工具可以在实验室环境中进行测试。在此基础上，从仔细的、跨语言的描述中得出的见解可以帮助发展关于语言和语言使用的健全的认知理论。随着母语群体的消失，世界上许多地区的大量语言正处于灭绝的边缘。俄勒冈州学部一直专注于收集这种迅速消失的信息，并利用这些信息来发展更广泛的语言理论。拟议的设备有一个视觉部分，允许调查人员呈现一个精心控制的场景，这些场景可以以特定的方式变化，并将这些场景用作启发装置，以提供对语法和话语形式的洞察。这些设备不仅将被一些专业语言学家使用，而且还将被许多研究生和本科生使用。
