CoLang: Institute for Collaborative Language Research

“CoLang”，即合作语言研究所，将于2012年6月至7月在堪萨斯大学举行。该研究所为研究生、实践语言学家和社区语言学家提供了一个以社区为中心的语言文档培训的机会。两个较早的研究所，以前称为InField，分别于2008年在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校和2010年在俄勒冈大学举行。为期六周的研究所包括两个部分：讲习班，其中包括两周关于文献语言学实践的密集讲习班，随后是实习，为期四周的语言科学和技术应用于现场经验文献的学徒。“语言学”)。这些工作坊提供团队授课的、最先进的语言理论和发现、技术、社区语言工作和应用语言学培训。实习允许学生通过与未被充分学习的语言的使用者一起工作来实现所有这些技能。2012年将开设三到四门语言实习课程。

"CoLang," the Institute for Collaborative Language Research, will be held at the University of Kansas in June-July, 2012. The Institute provides an opportunity for graduate students, practicing linguists, and community linguists to become trained in community-centered language documentation. Two earlier Institutes, formerly called InField, were held in 2008 at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and in 2010 at the University of Oregon. The six-week Institute consists of two parts: the Work­shops, which consist of two weeks of intensive workshops on the practice of documentary linguistics, followed by a Practicum, a four-week apprenticeship in the application of linguistic science and technology to on-site empirical documentation (a.k.a. "field linguistics"). The Workshops offer team-taught, state-of-the-art training in linguistic theory and discovery, technology, community language work, and applied linguistics. The Practicum allows students to implement all of these skills by working with speakers of understudied languages. Three or four language Practicums will be offered in 2012.
