Collaborative Project: The Rosetta Project- ALL Language Archive

这个合作项目涉及长期基金会的罗塞塔项目、语言列表、斯坦福大学、东密歇根大学、开放语言档案社区、和濒危语言基金。调查人员正在领导一个由语言专家和母语人士组成的全球团队，为所有记录在案的人类语言建立一个可公开访问的在线档案，作为有关这些语言的权威参考资料。世界至今Rosetta目前提供超过30，000个文本页面，记录了1，000多种语言的书写系统，音韵，语法，方言文本，核心单词表，编号系统，地图，音频文件和人口/历史描述。罗塞塔档案的一个主要子组件是所有语言词汇表数据库-收集了世界上200种语言的术语核心词汇表，目前支持1,300种语言。该项目支持Rosetta图书馆这方面的发展，预计覆盖范围将从1，000种增加到2，500种语言。作为这一努力的一部分，LINGUIST正在扩大和完善其“人”数据库的功能-世界上大多数当代语言学家的索引，可按语言和感兴趣的家族，当前的研究和教学兴趣，课程设置和联系信息进行搜索。该数据库是支持建立Rosetta的开放贡献和同行评审过程的关键资源，也是希望找到具有相关教学兴趣和可共享教学材料的教育工作者的关键资源。一个令人信服的网络环境提供了“随时随地”的工具，学者和演讲者贡献和协作查看，审查，评论，纠正和上下文的所有材料在档案。这些工具与以用户为中心的网站设计相结合，使熟练和不熟练的用户都能轻松浏览、查找和下载感兴趣的材料。其结果是一个在线数字图书馆，使教育工作者，研究人员和学习者能够参与前所未有的范围和多样性的语言数据集。对于许多语言，斯坦福大学图书馆和其他图书馆都提供了“书架资料”的链接，提供了更深入的内容。此资源也可用于语言学课程，侧重于语言的属性，它有利于学生的研究项目。行为和认知科学（BCS）的NSF部门的认知，心理和语言科学计划正在为该项目提供重要的共同资助，以表彰其在服务BCS及其上级社会，行为和经济科学理事会的更广泛的教育目标方面的价值。

This collaborative project involves the Rosetta Project at The Long Now Foundation, the LINGUIST List, Stanford University, Eastern Michigan University, the Open Language Archive Community, and the Endangered Language Fund. The investigators are leading a global team of language specialists and native speakers to build a publicly accessible online archive for all documented human languages that serves as the definitive reference work on the languages of the world to date. Rosetta currently serves over 30,000 text pages documenting writing systems, phonology, grammar, vernacular texts, core wordlists, numbering systems, maps, audio files, and demographic/historical descriptions for over 1,000 languages. A major sub-component of the Rosetta archive is the ALL Language Word List Database - a collection of 200 term core vocabulary lists for the languages of the world, currently supporting 1,300 languages. This project supports the growth of this aspect of the Rosetta library with an expectation of increasing the coverage from 1,000 to 2,500 languages. Integral with this effort, LINGUIST is expanding and elaborating the functions of its "people" database - an index of the majority of the world's contemporary linguists, searchable by languages and families of interest, current research and teaching interests, course offerings, and contact information. This database is a critical resource to support the open contribution and peer review process, which builds Rosetta, as well as for educators wishing to find others with related teaching interests and sharable pedagogical materials. A compelling web environment offers "anywhere, anytime" tools for scholars and speakers to contribute and collaboratively view, vet, comment, correct and contextualize all the materials in the archive. These tools are combined with a user-focused site design, enabling both skilled and unskilled users to easily browse, locate, and download materials of interest. The result is an online digital library, which enables educators, researchers and learners to engage language datasets of unprecedented range and diversity. For many languages the Stanford Library and other libraries are providing links to "shelf materials" that provide more depth. This resource is also usable in linguistics courses that focus on properties of language, and it facilitates student research projects. The Cognitive, Psychological, and Language Sciences Program in the NSF Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (BCS) is providing significant co-funding of this project in recognition of its value in serving the broader educational goals of BCS and its parent Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences.
