Ahtna Texts

阿特纳语是阿拉斯加阿萨巴斯坎语的一种，在阿拉斯加中南部的库珀河地区使用。自20世纪70年代以来，有许多关于Ahtna故事讲述者的录音。阿拉斯加州本土语言中心名誉教授詹姆斯·卡里（James Kari）收集的文本录音质量非常高，我们打算与之合作。其中一些录音已经在ANLC存档，但其他的仍在卡莉的私人收藏中。这些文本正处于完成的各个阶段，从音频录制到完整的翻译。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。对于每一种出版物，都有一张附带的CD，里面有音频文件，可以作为阅读的伴奏，但也包括基于html的对齐文本和音频，用于学习目的。在出版物中包含多媒体cd将允许学者和学习者可以在不影响书籍本身审美价值的情况下获得逐语素的注释。Siri Tuttle已经使用阿拉斯加阿萨巴斯坎语工作了16年。她将与Kari合作，为那些没有这些符号的文本粗略地誊写出来。学生助理将为只存在于打字稿或手写形式的成绩单创建数字文本文件。学生还将学习如何在HTML中创建对齐文本。Kari将通过整理他的私人收藏中的声音和文字材料，并将它们带入项目中来协助这一过程。塔特尔、卡里和这名学生将与阿赫特纳语的讲者合作，根据需要对文本进行完善和编辑。这项工作将主要在费尔班克斯进行，但也将咨询坎特韦尔、曼塔斯塔、古尔卡纳和塔兹利纳等阿赫特纳社区的长老。

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.
