The project involves several research-related aspects of the Linguistic Institute, a biennial summer school sponsored by the Linguistic Society of America covering all areas of linguistics to be held at Stanford University in July 2007. The proposal requests support for three facets of the Institute: (i) an educational component devoted to teaching research skills, (ii) a special event presenting advanced skills, and (iii) workshops focusing on particular research areas. These activities are all designed to fit with the larger institute theme 'Empirical Foundations for Theories of Language', and will feature presentations of new or emergent research methodologies or technologies.The first part of the proposal involves support for a set of presession workshops which will teach research skills needed for courses and activities at the Institute. These workshops are intended to allow the regular session of courses to be taught at a higher level, especially appropriate for graduate students who might be at the point of defining their own research directions. The second part involves support for an advanced skills-related special workshop on 'Linear Mixed Effects Modelling'. The third part involves a series of more traditional workshops, which span the field of linguistics, on topics which include new methodologies in phonology, language acquisition research and cyberinfrastructure, ethnographic methods in sociocultural linguistics, computational approaches to writing systems and to deciphering scripts, and a large-scale workshop on the theoretical implications of Creole studies. This last workshop will involve participants from ethnically underrepresented groups, including graduate student attendees.

该项目涉及语言研究所的若干研究方面，该研究所是由美国语言学会赞助的两年期暑期学校，将于2007年7月在斯坦福大学举办，涵盖语言学的所有领域。 该提案要求对研究所的三个方面给予支持：（i）专门教授研究技能的教育部分，（ii）介绍先进技能的特别活动，以及（iii）侧重于特定研究领域的讲习班。 这些活动都是为了配合更大的研究所的主题“经验基础理论的研究”，并将展示新的或新兴的研究方法或技术。提案的第一部分涉及支持一系列会前研讨会，这些研讨会将教授研究所课程和活动所需的研究技能。 这些讲习班的目的是让课程的定期会议被教导在一个更高的水平，特别是适合研究生谁可能是在确定自己的研究方向的点。 第二部分涉及支持一个关于“线性混合效应建模”的高级技能相关特别讲习班。 第三部分涉及一系列跨越语言学领域的传统研讨会，主题包括语音学的新方法，语言习得研究和网络基础设施，社会文化语言学中的民族志方法，书写系统和破译脚本的计算方法，以及克里奥尔语研究的理论含义的大型研讨会。 这最后一个研讨会将涉及来自种族代表性不足的群体，包括研究生与会者的参与者。
