Advances in computing technology from the past few decades have opened the possibility of a cyberinfrastructure for linguistics that will advance the field by allowing linguists to analyze and test hypotheses against much larger data sets, collaborate with more people across greater distances, and as a result find solutions to questions not previously answerable. However, in order to realize the promise of a well-engineered cyberinfrastructure, the field needs to solve three problems: (1) establishing a culture of publishing and sharing data and annotations, and of expecting hypotheses to be tested against available data sets; (2) identifying existing standards and software that can contribute to a general cyberinfrastructure and plan how to build from them; and (3) developing a funding model which will sustain not only research contributions by linguists and computational linguists, but also software development (including user interface work) by software engineers.These problems can not be solved by isolated research projects, but rather require wide-spread communication, participation and buy-in from the field. The goal of this workshop, Cyberling 2009: Towards a Cyberinfrastructure for Linguistics, is to bring together linguists representing a wide range of subfields (as well as outside specialists) who are interested in the potential of cyberinfrastructure for linguistics and who have experience in working with related projects to create a roadmap for solving the problems noted. The workshop is being collocated with the Linguistic Society of America's 2009 Linguistic Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, and includes open panel discussions to engage the general audience of the Linguistic Institute and thereby promote wider interest in cyberinfrastructure development within the field.

过去几十年来计算技术的进步为语言学的网络基础设施开辟了可能性，这将通过允许语言学家分析和测试更大数据集的假设，与更远距离的更多人合作，从而为以前无法回答的问题找到解决方案来推动该领域的发展。然而，为了实现精心设计的网络基础设施的承诺，该领域需要解决三个问题：（1）建立一种发布和共享数据和注释的文化，并期望根据现有数据集对假设进行测试;（2）确定现有标准和软件，可以有助于一般的网络基础设施，并计划如何根据它们进行建设;（3）建立一个既能支持语言学家和计算语言学家的研究贡献，又能支持软件工程师的软件开发（包括用户界面工作）的资助模式。这些问题不能通过孤立的研究项目来解决，而需要广泛的交流、参与和支持。本次研讨会的目标，Cyberling 2009：走向语言学的网络基础设施，是汇集代表广泛的子领域的语言学家（以及外部专家）谁是有兴趣在语言学的网络基础设施的潜力，谁在与相关项目的工作经验，以创建一个解决所指出的问题的路线图。该讲习班与美国语言学会2009年在加州大学伯克利分校的语言研究所在同一地点举行，并包括公开小组讨论，以吸引语言研究所的一般听众，从而促进对该领域内网络基础设施发展的更广泛兴趣。
