Guerrero Nahuatl Language Documentation and Lexicon Enrichment Project

格雷罗纳瓦特尔语言文档和词典丰富项目(NLDLEP)追求四个同时实现的目标：文档、振兴、描述和教育。将通过提供音频和文本(已通过电子手段解析和注解的文字)，以便永久存档和以建议的格式在互联网上展示，从而完成文件编制。将通过培训以英语为母语的人掌握语言文件技术并制作供社区学校使用的书籍和CD来促进振兴。随着文件编制和振兴工作的进行，将通过继续拟订词典和参考语法来加强说明。将通过编写既可供非母语人士(学习一门新语言)和年轻母语人士(学习他们的语言)使用的电子和印刷材料来解决教育问题。三年后，NLDLEP将就各种主题(故事、仪式演讲、对话、民族动物学知识)制作约200小时的录音文本，其中约90小时将被选为转录并作为Nahuatl学习环境百科全书的一部分在当地和互联网上出版。本项目在概念和形式上都是跨学科的。文档化的语料库将探索众多学者感兴趣的濒危文化知识领域：(1)语言学家将受益于类型独特的纳瓦特语言的巨大语料库，以及词典中对编码字段的仔细纳入，从而允许搜索当前语言理论感兴趣的主题；(2)人类学家将在百科全书般的物质文化生产和使用文献以及关于移民和流动商业的证明中找到用处；(3)历史学家将欢迎新的词典信息，这些信息将有助于他们翻译殖民时期的纳瓦特文献；(4)植物学家和动物学家将受益于与当地知识记录文本相联系的动植物名录和科学命名；(5)学生将受益于为在美国各地的拉丁美洲第六章中心用这种语言继续教育提供基础的材料；(6)以英语为母语的人和社区将欢迎继续接触他们正在消失和受到威胁的语言和文化。此外，该项目将开发的电子界面工具将是通用的，因此适用于其他语言的文件编制、振兴、描述和教育项目。

The Guerrero Nahuatl Language Documentation and Lexicon Enrichment Project (NLDLEP) pursues four concurrent goals: documentation, revitalization, description, and education. Documentation will be accomplished by providing audio and text (transcriptions that have been parsed and glossed by electronic means) for permanent archiving and Internet display in recommended formats. Revitalization will be advanced by training native speakers in language documentation techniques and producing books and CDs for use in community schools. Description will be enhanced by continuing to elaborate a lexicon and reference grammar as the documentation and revitalization efforts proceed. Education will be attended to by creating electronic and printed materials that can be used by both nonspeakers (learning a new language) and young native speakers (learning to write their language). After three years, the NLDLEP will have produced approximately 200 hours of recorded texts on a variety of topics (stories, ritual speech, dialogues, ethnozoological knowledge) of which about 90 hours will be selected for transcription and publication locally and on the Internet as part of the Nahuatl Learning Environment Encyclopedia. The present project is interdisciplinary both in its conception and presentation. The documented corpus will explore endangered domains of cultural knowledge of interest to a wide range of scholars: (1) linguists will benefit from the immense corpus of material of a typologically unique Nahuatl language and the careful including of coded fields in the lexicon that permit searches on topics of interest to current linguistic theory; (2) anthropologists will find use in the encyclopedic documentation of material culture production and use as well as testimonials on migration and itinerant commerce; (3) historians will welcome the new lexicographic information that will help them translate colonial Nahuatl documents; (4) botanists and zoologists will benefit from the floristic and faunistic inventories and scientific nomenclature linked to recorded texts of local knowledge; (5) students will benefit from material that will provide a basis for continuing education in this language in Latin American Title VI centers across the United States; (6) native speakers and communities will welcome ongoing access to their disappearing and threatened language and culture. Moreover, the electronic interface tools that this project will develop will be generic and thus be applicable to documentation, revitalization, description, and educational projects in other languages.
