U.S. - Netherlands Planning Visit: Reconstructing the Linguistic Prehistory of the Alor-Pantar Languages

这次计划中的访问将促进阿拉斯加大学、费尔班克斯大学和荷兰莱顿大学之间的长期合作。这次合作的目的是重建Alor-Pantar语族的语言史前史。Alor-Pantar语言是印度尼西亚被研究最少的语言之一，它们与该地区其他语言的遗传关系仍然是一些争议的主题，主要是由于缺乏相关数据。这次计划访问的东道主是莱顿大学的玛丽安·克莱默博士？这里是美国语言学中心。克莱默博士是一位语言学家，他的工作重点是印度尼西亚东部的少数民族语言。她指导了“东印度尼西亚的语言变异：阿罗语和潘塔语项目”，该项目首次对阿罗语和潘塔语进行了全面调查。在计划访问期间，研究人员将收集500个词汇项目的数据库，并制定两个机构之间未来的合作战略。

The proposed planning visit will develop a long-term collaboration between the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and Leiden University in the Netherlands. The objective of this collaboration is to reconstruct the linguistic prehistory of the Alor-Pantar language family. The Alor-Pantar languages are among the least studied languages of Indonesia, and their genetic relationships with other languages in the region remain the subject of some controversy, largely due to the scarcity of relevant data. The host for the planning visit is Dr. Marian Klamer of the Leiden University?s Center for Linguistics. Dr. Klamer is a linguist whose work has focused on the minority languages of eastern Indonesia. She directed the Linguistic Variation in Eastern Indonesia: The Alor and Pantar Project, which provided the first comprehensive survey of Alor-Pantar languages. During the planning visit the researchers will assemble a database of 500 lexical items and develop a future strategy for collaboration between the two institutions.
