ICE (Integrating Cartographic Elements: Creating Resources Emphasizing Arctic Materials)

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)资助的。北极地区有40多种土著语言，它们来自至少六个基因无关的语系：乌拉里语、阿尔泰语、楚科特科-堪察坎语、爱斯基摩-阿留申语、德内-叶尼塞亚语、尤卡吉尔语和孤立的尼夫克语。北极的快速变化导致了土著语言的濒危或灭绝，该地区相对孤立的地理位置进一步造成了记录这些变化的困难。地图为研究人员提供了一种透明的方式来组织和分析不同的、跨学科的数据。极地地区分散的地理语言资源的集中将确保科学界的所有研究人员都可以随时获得这些数据。该项目将把北极地图数据和地理语言资源整合到一个已由语言学家名单(http://linguistlist.org).)维护的相互链接的数据库网络中此外，还将开发设施，使研究人员能够将数据实时添加到地理语言数据库。与此同时，ICE将为对北极和新兴的地理语言学新领域感兴趣的有前途的研究生提供制图和语言培训。该项目将增强该地区现有的地图和语言家族数据，将这些数据与相关的非语言信息结合起来。这些数据不仅会引起语言学家的兴趣，还会引起人类学、地理学、考古学、历史学和遗传学等相关科学学科的兴趣。此外，该项目的教育部分将间接惠及社区团体。该项目将发展研究助理的技术专长，随着他们进入语言实地工作项目，这些专门知识将可供北极的发言者社区使用。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The Arctic region is home to over 40 indigenous languages from at least six genetically unrelated language families: Uralic, Altaic, Chukotko-Kamchatkan, Eskimo-Aleut, Dene-Yeniseian, Yukagir, and the isolate Nivkh. Rapid change in the Arctic has led to the endangerment or extinction of the indigenous languages, and the relative geographic isolation of the region has further created difficulties in recording these changes. Maps provide researchers with a transparent way to organize and analyze heterogeneous, cross-disciplinary data. And the centralization of distributed geolinguistic resources on the Polar Regions will ensure that such data is readily available to all researchers in the scientific community.The "ICE:Integrating Cartographic Elements: Creating Resources Emphasizing Arctic Materials (ICE)? project will integrate Arctic cartographic data and geolinguistic resources into a network of interlinked databases that is already maintained by The LINGUIST List (http://linguistlist.org). In addition, facilities will be developed to enable researchers to add data in real time to the geolinguistic database. At the same time, ICE will provide both cartographic and linguistic training to promising graduate students interested in the Arctic and the burgeoning new field of geolinguistics.The project will enhance existing map and language family data in the region, integrating these data with relevant non-linguistic information. The data will be of interest not only to linguists, but also to related scientific disciplines such as anthropology, geography, archaeology, history, and genetics. Moreover, the educational component of the project will indirectly benefit community groups. The project will develop the technical expertise of research assistants, and this expertise, as they move into linguistic field work projects, will become available to speaker communities in the Arctic.
