Ahtna Texts

Ahtna是阿拉斯加的一种阿萨巴斯加语，在阿拉斯加中南部的铜河地区使用。自20世纪70年代以来，有许多由阿赫特纳讲故事的人录制的唱片。阿拉斯加土著语言中心名誉教授詹姆斯·卡里制作的文本录音集，我们打算与之合作，质量非常高。其中一些录音已经在ANLC进行了实物存档，但另一些仍然在卡里的私人收藏中。文本正处于完成的所有阶段，从只录制音频到完整翻译。这个项目将完成文本，并将它们与音频一起放在几本小书中。对于这些出版物中的每一种，都将有一张附带的CD，其中有音频文件，可以作为阅读的伴奏，但其中也包括用于学习目的的基于超文本标记语言的对齐文本和音频。出版物中包括多媒体CD将允许学者和学习者获得逐个语素的光泽，而不会干扰书籍本身的美学价值。Siri Tuttle已经与阿拉斯加阿萨巴斯加语合作了16年。她将与卡里合作，为那些没有这些文字的文本起草抄本。学生助理将为仅以打字稿或手写形式存在的抄写创建数字文本文件。学生还将学习如何在HTML中创建对齐的文本。卡里将协助这一进程，整理他私人收藏的声音和文本材料，并将它们纳入该项目。Tuttle、Kari和这名学生将与Ahtna的演讲者合作，根据需要改进和编辑文本。这项工作将主要在费尔班克斯进行，但也将咨询阿赫特纳社区的长老，如坎特维尔、门塔斯塔、古尔卡纳和塔兹利纳。

Ahtna is an Alaskan Athabascan language, spoken in the Copper River area of Southcentral Alaska. Since the 1970s there have been many recordings made of Ahtna storytellers. The collection of text recordings made by Alaska Native Language Center Professor Emeritus James Kari, with which we propose to work, is of very high quality. Some of these recordings have been physically archived at ANLC, but others are still in Kari's private collection. The texts are in all stages of completion, from audio recording only to full translation. This project will finish the texts and bring them together with audio in several small books. For each of these publications there will be an accompanying CD with audio files that can be listened to as accompaniment to reading, but which also includes HTML-based aligned text and audio for study purposes. The inclusion of multimedia CDs in the publications will allow a morpheme-by-morpheme gloss to be available to scholars and learners without disturbing the aesthetic values of the books themselves.Siri Tuttle has been working with Alaskan Athabaskan languages for sixteen years. She, in collaboration with Kari, will rough out transcriptions for those texts that do not have them. A student assistant will create digital text files for transcriptions that exist only in typescript or hand-written form. The student will also work on creating aligned text in HTML. Kari will assist in this process by organizing sound and text materials still in his private collection and bringing them into the project. Tuttle, Kari and the student will work with speakers of Ahtna to refine and edit the texts as needed. This work will be carried out mainly in Fairbanks, but elders will also be consulted in Ahtna communities such as Cantwell, Mentasta, Gulkana and Tazlina.
