With National Science Foundation support, Dr. Monica Macaulay and Ms. Marianne Milligan will conduct three years of research on Menominee, an endangered Algonquian language spoken in northeastern Wisconsin. They will create and publish a set of bilingual dictionaries. These will be derived from a computer database with grammatical notes, morphological analysis, and cultural information on Menominee. Because much of this information is unnecessary and even potentially distracting for some audiences, the database will be coded in such a way that several different dictionaries can be produced from it. At least three will be produced: one serving child learners, one serving language teachers and adult learners, and one serving scholars interested in the complete analysis of the entries. Each format will be produced in both printed and electronic form. The electronic versions will offer versatility unavailable in the printed versions. But because some audiences do not have access to computers, printed versions of the dictionaries are necessary, especially for the classroom.This project will contribute significantly to scholarly work on Algonquian languages and, at the same time, provide the Menominee tribe with a much-needed tool for preserving their highly endangered language. There is currently no satisfactory dictionary resource available for language learners, teachers, and scholars interested in Menominee and historical or comparative research on other Algonquian languages. Thus, development of dictionaries for different audiences is urgently needed. The flexibility of the database will maximize the usefulness of this project, enabling the production of dictionaries for different levels and types of users.

在国家科学基金会的支持下，莫妮卡·麦考利博士和玛丽安·米利根女士将对梅诺米尼语进行为期三年的研究，梅诺米尼语是威斯康星州东北部一种濒临灭绝的阿尔冈琴语。他们将编写并出版一套双语词典。这些将来自一个计算机数据库与语法注释，形态分析，和梅诺米尼文化信息。由于这些信息中有许多是不必要的，甚至可能会分散某些受众的注意力，因此数据库将以这样一种方式进行编码，即可以从中产生几种不同的词典，至少将产生三种：一种为儿童学习者服务，一种为语言教师和成人学习者服务，一种为对完整分析条目感兴趣的学者服务。每种格式都将以印刷和电子形式印发。电子版将提供印刷版无法提供的多功能性。但由于有些听众无法接触到电脑，因此印刷版的字典是必要的，特别是在课堂上。这个项目将大大有助于阿尔冈琴语系的学术工作，同时为梅诺米尼部落提供一个急需的工具，以保护他们高度濒危的语言。目前没有令人满意的字典资源可供语言学习者，教师和学者有兴趣在Menominee和历史或比较研究其他阿尔冈琴语。因此，迫切需要开发针对不同受众的词典。数据库的灵活性将使这一项目发挥最大效用，从而能够为不同级别和类型的用户编制词典。
