AbstractThis project, "The Language Keepers" (NSF grant BCS-05533791, 2006-2008), addresses a central dilemma in documenting endangered languages: the decline and loss of public group discourse. The documenting of public group discourse provides linguists and Native-language teachers and students with a necessary research and learning resource. The work continues a successful Native-language documentation methodology in the Passamaquoddy communities of Maine, demonstrating the feasibility of stimulating renewed group conversation and filming natural, spontaneously spoken Passamaquoddy, especially in time-critical and culturally significant areas. There are two components: First, the project uses the video documentation itself as feedback to participants to stimulate reflection and further discourse, creating a revived community dialogue in Passamaquoddy. Next, the existing conversational video corpus of transcribed, translated and subtitled "whole conversations," plus new conversations to be filmed, will be re-conceptualized as a non-linear, web-accessed, video database archive. This video database will be linked to the existing on-line dictionary data base. Viewers will then be able to create clusters of video and dictionary entries that contextualize the meaning of an item, conveying deeper cultural and linguistic understanding. This resource, which can be found online at www.languagekeepers.org, makes the linguistic complexity of Passamaquoddy more accessible and enables the development of innovative materials for teacher training, language learning, and research.

AbstractThis项目，“语言守护者”（NSF资助BCS-05533791，2006-2008），解决了一个中心的困境，在记录濒危语言：公共团体话语的下降和损失。 公共群体话语的记录为语言学家和母语教师及学生提供了必要的研究和学习资源。这项工作延续了成功的本地语言文档方法在缅因州的Passamaquoddy社区，展示了刺激新的群体对话和拍摄自然的可行性，自发口语Passamaquoddy，特别是在时间紧迫和文化意义重大的领域。有两个组成部分：首先，该项目使用视频文件本身作为对参与者的反馈，以激发反思和进一步的讨论，在帕萨马科迪创造一个复兴的社区对话。接下来，现有的对话视频语料库的转录，翻译和字幕的“整个对话”，加上新的对话被拍摄，将被重新概念化为一个非线性的，网络访问，视频数据库档案。该录像数据库将与现有的联机词典数据库连接。然后，观众将能够创建视频和字典条目的集群，这些条目将项目的含义置于上下文中，传达更深层次的文化和语言理解。该资源可在www.languagekeepers.org在线找到，使Passamaquoddy的语言复杂性更容易获得，并为教师培训，语言学习和研究开发创新材料。
