项目摘要

With National Science Foundation support, Dr. Joseph E. Grimes will conduct two years of linguistic research to extend the capabilities of comparative linguists by matching their expertise in making pattern recognition judgments with a computational tool that organizes all their data in response to those judgments. This division of labor will allow linguists to stay on top of greater quantities of data from more speech varieties than has ever been possible, because it provides an information technology infrastructure for their discipline. Though notable work in language comparison has been done by hand, it consumes years; indeed, for much of the world there are more educated guesses about what the linguistic relationships might be than there is well-martialed evidence for those relationships. This project's linguist-machine partnership will empower investigators to do their analysis expeditiously (including adding in data from languages that could become extinct in the next generation and be lost to science), to follow out competing hypotheses, to work collegially as easily as individually, and to offer precise documentation to others through public archives. All these things have been difficult to do using traditional methods.To find out how human groups have diverged and migrated scholars must draw not only on written and oral history, but also on recoverable prehistory, which is accessible mostly through comparative linguistics, archeology, and genetics. If linguists are enabled to fill the gaps in their data and to make more precise their reconstructions of what our ancestral languages must have been like, it will lead to better insight into the processes by which all languages (including English) change over time, and to better understanding of connections between ancestral languages and ancient culture patterns. Seeing language history in this way also adds the time dimension to our understanding of humanity's capacity for language, and helps us to value language diversity rather than deplore it. Solid research in this area, which the proposed tool will promote, can also help traditional societies to become aware of a deeper heritage than what their oral history alone gives them. On a more immediate scale, it can identify areas where educational materials and literature developed in one of a closely related group of languages that share a common culture can be easily morphed into preliminary drafts of those materials for other languages in the same group.
在美国国家科学基金会的支持下,约瑟夫·E.格兰姆斯将进行为期两年的语言学研究,通过将他们在模式识别判断方面的专业知识与一种计算工具相匹配,来扩展比较语言学家的能力,该工具可以根据这些判断组织他们所有的数据。这种劳动分工将使语言学家能够掌握来自更多语言种类的更大量的数据,这是前所未有的,因为它为他们的学科提供了信息技术基础设施。虽然语言比较的重要工作是手工完成的,但这需要花费数年时间;事实上,对于世界上的许多人来说,关于语言关系可能是什么的猜测比这些关系的确凿证据要多。该项目的语言学家-机器合作伙伴关系将使研究人员能够快速进行分析(包括添加可能在下一代灭绝并失去科学的语言数据),遵循竞争性假设,像单独一样轻松地进行合作,并通过公共档案馆向其他人提供精确的文档。所有这些都是传统方法难以做到的,为了弄清人类群体是如何分化和迁移的,学者们不仅要利用书面和口述的历史,还要利用可恢复的史前史,这主要是通过比较语言学、考古学和遗传学来实现的。如果语言学家能够填补他们数据中的空白,并更精确地重建我们祖先语言的样子,这将有助于更好地了解所有语言(包括英语)随时间变化的过程,并更好地理解祖先语言与古代文化模式之间的联系。以这种方式看待语言历史也为我们对人类语言能力的理解增加了时间维度,并帮助我们重视语言多样性而不是谴责它。拟议的工具将促进这一领域的扎实研究,也可以帮助传统社会意识到比口述历史本身更深层次的遗产。在更直接的范围内,它可以确定在哪些领域,以具有共同文化的密切相关的一组语言中的一种语言编写的教育材料和文学作品可以很容易地变成同一组中其他语言的这些材料的初稿。
