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

拟议中的计划访问将发展阿拉斯加大学、费尔班克斯和荷兰莱顿大学之间的长期合作。这项合作的目的是重建阿洛尔-潘塔尔语系的语言史前。Alor-Pantar语言是印度尼西亚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存在一些争议，主要是因为缺乏相关数据。这次计划访问的东道主是莱顿大学S语言学中心的玛丽安·克拉默博士。克拉默博士是一位语言学家，他的研究重点是印度尼西亚东部的少数民族语言。她指导了印度尼西亚东部的语言变异：阿洛尔和潘塔尔项目，该项目提供了第一个关于阿洛尔-潘塔尔语言的全面调查。在计划访问期间，研究人员将收集一个包含500个词条的数据库，并为两个机构之间的合作制定未来战略。

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.
