Doctoral student Mariann Skahan (University of New Mexico), under the supervision of Dr. Les Field, will undertake research on the bearing of Jicarilla Apache language ideologies on current efforts to revitalize the Jicarilla language. The study will examine how past and present practices and notions of communicative competence have shaped language use.This research focuses on language biographies of Jicarilla Apache language advocates, supplemented by information obtained in structured and semi-structured interviews, participant observation, sociolinguistic analysis of interactions, and archival research. The researcher's goal is to produce an account of the social and cultural vicissitudes of a Native American language that has gone from being a language in daily basis to one experiencing marked linguistic shift. This methodological and theoretical framework will provide the context to answer questions related to: 1) What is the relationship between language socialization experiences of Jicarilla Apache men and women and their attitude towards language revitalization; 2) What is the impact of the earlier Jicarilla Apache revitalization programs on former language students who are now adults; and 3) How do differing sects of Jicarilla Apache men and women define language competency and proficiency?This project will help social scientists to theorize the effects of social framing on language revitalization programs by examining language shift in the personal histories of tribal community members. This research also will give voice to qualities of discursive performance and forms of agency and authorship by members of minority speech communities that are otherwise difficult to recognize. This research supports the education of a social scientist.

博士生Mariann Skahan（新墨西哥州大学）在Les Field博士的监督下，将研究Jakartilla Apache语言意识形态对当前振兴Jakartilla语言的影响。 该研究将探讨过去和现在的实践和交际能力的概念如何塑造语言的使用。本研究的重点是语言传记的Jakartilla阿帕奇语言倡导者，辅以结构化和半结构化访谈，参与者观察，互动的社会语言学分析，和档案研究中获得的信息。研究人员的目标是产生一个帐户的社会和文化变迁的美洲原住民语言，已经从一个语言在日常的基础上经历了显着的语言转变。 这种方法和理论框架将提供背景，以回答有关的问题：1）什么是语言社会化的经验之间的关系，阿帕奇男子和妇女和他们对语言振兴的态度; 2）什么是早期的阿帕奇阿3）不同教派的阿帕契族男性和女性如何定义语言能力和熟练程度？本计画将透过检视部落社群成员个人历史中的语言变迁，协助社会科学家理论化社会架构对语言复兴计画的影响。 这项研究也将给予声音的话语性能和代理和作者的少数民族语言社区的成员，否则很难识别的质量。 这项研究支持社会科学家的教育。
