InFIeld 2010

“Infield 2010”，语言文献和领域语言学研究所，将在俄勒冈大学与西北土著语言研究所(NILI)联合举办。Infield 2010解决了对更多和更好的语言实地工作的需求，因为面对广泛的语言濒危，这项工作的紧迫性增加了。虽然越来越多的资金可用于实地工作和语言记录，社区也越来越有动力采取步骤记录和振兴其祖先的语言，但训练有素的实地语言学家远远不足以满足这一需要。此外，由于新技术的出现和对实地工作人员对演讲界责任的认识不断提高，实地工作的性质正在迅速转变，因此，即使在10-15年前接受实地培训的人也可以受益于接触到新的工具和方法。Infield 2010通过召集世界级的教师领导为期两周的现代野外工作方法系列研讨会来满足所有这些需求。之后是为期一周的有监督的实验室实践或为期四周的强化实地方法课程，让没有经验的参与者有机会将这些方法付诸实践。为了更好地满足语言活动家的需求，INFIELD 2010将与西北印度语言学院(NILI)的夏季会议整合在一起；此外，INFIELD 2010的前一个周末，俄勒冈大学将主办稳定土著语言研讨会(SILS)。为期两周的合作气氛允许参与者之间建立广泛的网络联系，这可能导致未来在各种项目上进行合作。

"InField 2010," the Institute for Language Documentation and Field Linguistics, will be held at the University of Oregon in conjunction with the Northwest Indigenous Language Institute (NILI). InField 2010 addresses the need for more and better linguistic fieldwork as the urgency for that work increases in the face of widespread language endangerment. While funds are increasingly available for fieldwork and language documentation, and communities are increasingly motivated to take steps to document and revitalize their ancestral languages, the pool of trained field linguists is nowhere near large enough to meet the need. Furthermore, the nature of field work is undergoing a rapid shift due to new technologies and increased awareness of the fieldworker's responsibilities to the speech communities, such that those who received their field training even 10-15 years ago could benefit from exposure to new tools and methods. InField 2010 responds to all these needs by bringing together a world-class faculty to lead a two-week series of workshops in modern fieldwork methodologies. This is followed by either a week of supervised laboratory practice or a four-week intensive field methods class to give inexperienced participants the opportunity to put these methods into practice. To better serve the needs of language activists, InField 2010 will be integrated with the summer session of the Northwest Indian Language Institute (NILI); in addition, the weekend before InField 2010, the University of Oregon will host the Stabilizing Indigenous Languages Symposium (SILS). The collaborative atmosphere extended over a two-week period allows for extensive networking among the participants that could lead to future collaborations on a variety of projects.
