Doing great things with small languages: Safeguarding Indigenous language material of Australia's region by clever use of new technology

该项目将负责记录澳大利亚和瓦努阿图的土著语言和濒危语言。它将通过提供研究人员自1950年代以来所作的实地录音，增进对使用这些语言的文化的了解，并加强澳大利亚与其邻国之间的联系，从而加强澳大利亚的安全。它还将通过开发对整个学科具有重要意义的语言文献的方法，使澳大利亚保持在语言研究新技术应用的前沿。

This project will provide a responsible record of Indigenous and endangered languages from both Australia and from Vanuatu. It will build understanding of the cultures in which those languages are spoken and enhance links between Australia and its neighbours by providing access to field recordings made by researchers since the 1950s, thus enhancing Australia's security. It will also keep Australia at the forefront of the application of new technologies to linguistic research by developing a methodology for language documentation of significance for the discipline as a whole.
