Aretyry Kari'nja (Carib): Training Speech Community Members in Documentation, Description, and Materials Development

该项目允许Gildea博士和俄勒冈大学尤金分校的同事对记录不足的卡里尼亚语进行新的纪录片工作，卡里尼亚语是苏里南的一种濒危语言。研究人员提出了四项活动：(1)让(苏里南)讲卡里尼亚语的社区成员到俄勒冈州，在一个独立组织的语言研究所的背景下接受语言记录和振兴方面的培训；(2)在俄勒冈州为讲这种语言的人录音，那里有社区无法获得的高质量录音设备；(3)与在俄勒冈州接受培训的讲卡里尼亚语的人合作，就记录不足的各种卡里尼亚语开展新的纪录片工作；(3)为苏里南的卡里尼亚族社区举办培训讲习班，帮助他们进行记录工作。这个项目发现的信息将加强对语言现象的科学理解，如韵律系统的类型学、作业类别和作格。该项目还将制作信息不易获取的语言和方言的高质量文件，并作为未来合作文件项目的样板。除了存档录音、教学材料以及对重音和语法的学术分析外，该项目还建设了未来生产力的能力。那些受语言损失影响最大的人，卡里尼亚自己，已经积极参与记录、描述和振兴他们的祖先语言。这个项目为他们提供了更多的工具和培训，他们将在赠款期限过后很长时间内继续使用这些工具和培训。该项目将Aretyry Kari‘nja的文档扩展到苏里南境内和境外的其他社区，并将允许Konomerume、Cornelis Kondre和Kalebas Kreek团队设计自己的文档项目。

This project allows Dr. Gildea and colleagues at the University of Oregon Eugene to conduct new documentary work on under-documented varieties of Kari'nja, an endangered language of Suriname. The researchers propose four activities: (i) bring members of the Aretyry Kari'nja-speaking community (of Suriname) to Oregon to receive training in language documentation and revitalization in the context of an independently-organized linguistic institute, (ii) record speakers of the language in Oregon where there is access to high-quality recording equipment not otherwise accessible to the community, (iii) conduct new documentary work on an under-documented varieties of Kari'nja in collaboration with Kari'nja speakers who received training in Oregon, and (iii) conduct training workshops for Kari'nja communities in Suriname to help them with their documentation efforts. The information uncovered by this project will enhance the scientific understanding of linguistic phenomena like typology of prosodic systems, work classes, and ergativity. The project will also produce high quality documentation of languages and dialects for which information is not easily accessible, and serves as a model for future collaborative documentation projects.Beyond archived recordings, pedagogical materials, and academic analyses of stress and grammar, this project builds the capacity for future productivity. Those most affected by their language loss, Kari'nja themselves, are already active participants in documentation, description, and revitalizing their ancestral language. This project gives them more tools and training, which they will continue using long after the grant period. This project expands the documentation of Aretyry Kari'nja to other communities within and beyond Suriname's borders, and will permit the Konomerume, Cornelis Kondre, and Kalebas Kreek teams to design their own documentation projects.
