Collaborative Research: Integrated Audio/Video Documentation of Itelmen [itl]

Itelmen是一种高度濒危的语言，在俄罗斯堪察加半岛上只有不到20人使用。该项目的主要目标是为该语言的词典汇编多媒体（音频和视频）支持。该项目将记录尽可能多的材料与其余的发言者，补充现有的小收藏，并使注释音频和视频记录提供给后代（学者和社区成员）与数字档案在俄罗斯和美国的一个组成部分，该项目涉及语言存档和分析软件的开发。Itelmen有许多罕见的类型学特征，这使得这些录音对语言学研究感兴趣，无论是狭义的（揭示楚科奇-堪察加语系的结构和历史），还是广义的，对整个语言学领域（特别是在形态学，音系学和类型学领域），以及相关领域，如语言人类学。该项目包括在美国和外地培训研究生，以及培训Itelmen社区的一名成员掌握语言文件编制和振兴技术。

Itelmen is a highly endangered language spoken natively by fewer than 20 individuals on the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia. The primary goal of this project is to compile multimedia (audio and video) support for a dictionary of the language. The project will record as much material as possible with the remaining speakers, supplementing small existing collections, and making annotated audio and video recordings available for posterity (both for scholars and for community members) with digital archives in both Russia and the U.S. A component of the project involves the development of software for language archiving and analysis. Itelmen has many rare typological features, which make these recordings of interest to linguistic scholarship, both narrowly (shedding light on the structure and history of the Chukotko-Kamchatkan language family), and broadly, to the field of linguistics as a whole (especially in the areas of morphology, phonology and typology), as well as related areas such as linguistic anthropology. The project includes training of graduate students in the US and in the field, as well as the training of a member of the Itelmen community in techniques of language documentation and revitalization.
