Diminishing linguistic diversity is a global problem. As concern over language endangerment has increased, so have calls for preservation and revitalization of threatened languages. Advancing linguistic study of endangered languages is critical, especially for sign languages, which are too often excluded from most discussions of language endangerment. This project provides fellowships for six U.S. students to attend the prestigious 3L International Summer School in Language Documentation and Description (3LSS). Specialized courses on sign language documentation and description of endangered sign language varieties are a particular forte of 3LSS. In addition to encouraging better approaches to the study of endangered sign languages, this project also promotes equal opportunity and expands educational access for deaf students, a historically under-served minority, who bring special potential to the study of sign languages. At least half of the fellowships are dedicated to support U.S. deaf students to attend 3LSS, which will be held in the Netherlands (5-17 July 2010) at the University of Leiden.

语言多样性的减少是一个全球性问题。随着人们对语言濒危的关注日益增加，要求保护和振兴受威胁语言的呼声也越来越高。推进濒危语言的语言学研究至关重要，特别是对于手语，手语往往被排除在大多数关于语言濒危的讨论之外。该项目为六名美国学生提供奖学金，参加着名的3L语言文档和描述国际暑期学校（3LSS）。关于手语文献和濒危手语品种描述的专业课程是3LSS的特别优势。除了鼓励更好地研究濒危手语外，该项目还促进平等机会，扩大聋人学生的教育机会，聋人学生历来是服务不足的少数群体，他们为手语研究带来了特殊潜力。至少有一半的奖学金专门用于支持美国聋人学生参加将于荷兰莱顿大学举行的第三届聋人学生支助会议（2010年7月5日至17日）。
