The objective of this project is to produce a dictionary of the Jicarilla Apache language. Jicarilla, an Eastern Apachean language, is spoken on the Jicarilla Apache reservation in northern New Mexico. Approximately 21% of the population is fluent in the language. Other Eastern Apache languages, Lipan and Plains Apache, are nearly extinct. To date, no large-scale dictionary or grammar has been produced for any of the Eastern Apachean languages.The dictionary will consist of a single database, but different programming features will allow it to be printed out in many different formats. We intend to produce versions in two formats for this project period: 1) a linguist's version, in which 4,000 - 5,000 words (verb bases, nouns, adverbs, and particles) will be organized by root into approximately 1,000 entries in its Jicarilla-English section, and 2) a native speaker/learner's version organized by semantic field. Data will come both from direct elicitation and from recorded texts and conversation. The database will be available for creating dictionaries in other formats, e.g. a native-speaker version organized alphabetically by word-initial segment, a CD ROM version.Participants on the project have been working as a team on language revitalization projects in the community, including a daycare immersion program. This project will complement the ongoing language work and will take advantage of an already-established team of Jicarilla Apache elder/educators and academic linguists who have been working together successfully for several years. The project also will bring an expert in Jicarilla morphosyntax for consultation on the grammatical analyses presented in the dictionaries and in the grammatical introductions.This project represents a rare opportunity to make language documentation efforts a major part of an already existing language revitalization program. It will make invaluable data available for comparative and historical linguistic research on the Athabaskan language family as well as providing information for the study of polysynthetic languages in general. It combines this benefit for academic scholars with a program designed to empower a Native American community in their desire to revitalize their endangered language.

这个项目的目标是制作一个Japanilla Apache语言的字典。 Jalanilla是一种东阿帕奇语，在北方新墨西哥州的Jalanilla阿帕奇保留区使用。 大约21%的人口能流利地使用该语言。 其他东部阿帕契语言，利潘语和平原阿帕契语，几乎灭绝。 到目前为止，还没有为任何东阿帕奇语言编制大型词典或语法，词典将由一个单一的数据库组成，但不同的编程功能将使其能够以多种不同的格式打印出来。 我们打算在这个项目期间制作两种格式的版本：1）语言学家的版本，其中4，000 - 5，000个单词（动词基础，名词，副词和小品词）将按词根组织成大约1，000个条目，在其Jumeilla-English部分，2）母语者/学习者的版本按语义场组织。 数据将来自直接启发和记录文本和对话。该数据库将可用于编制其他格式的词典，例如按词首字母分段编排的母语版本、光盘版本。该项目的参与者一直在社区中开展语言振兴项目，包括日托沉浸计划。该项目将补充正在进行的语言工作，并将利用已经成立的Jicarilla Apache老年人/教育工作者和学术语言学家团队，他们已经成功合作多年。 该项目还将邀请一位Jobsilla形态句法专家就词典和语法介绍中的语法分析进行咨询。该项目代表了一个难得的机会，使语言文献工作成为现有语言振兴计划的一个主要部分。 它将为阿萨巴斯卡语系的比较和历史语言学研究提供宝贵的数据，并为一般的多合成语言研究提供信息。 它将学术学者的这一好处与一个旨在赋予美洲原住民社区振兴其濒危语言的愿望的计划相结合。
