Lower Tanana Dictionary and Literacy

这个为期一年的项目利用现有关于Minto- nenana Athabascan的大量学术成果，开发了一本英语-Minto袖珍字典，测试其结构，出版并通过阿拉斯加Minto村的社区讲习班教授其用法。材料和研讨会将直接让Minto社区成员参与词典的开发和发音档案记录的创建。这本词典的发展和使用将激发社区对他们的语言的接触，并希望激发人们对其继续使用的兴趣。

ABSTRACTBCE #0504247This one-year project uses the large body of existing scholarship on the Minto-Nenana Athabascan to develop an English-Minto pocket dictionary, test its structure, publish it and teach its use through community workshops in the village of Minto, Alaska. Materials and workshops will directly involve the Minto community members in the development of the dictionary and in the creation of an archival record of pronunciation. The dictionary, its development and its use will stimulate the community's access to their language and hopefully stimulate interest in its continued use.
