Collaborative Research: Coeur d'Alene Online Digital Resources

Coeur d‘Alene(ISO 639-3 CRD/Salish，USA，以下简称CRD)是一种儿童不再使用的语言。民族学将这种语言归类为几乎灭绝，只有两名以英语为母语的老年人。然而，Coeur d‘Alene社区对振兴这种语言有着浓厚的兴趣。在当地控制的语言项目的指导下，一些社区成员通过了语言项目。尽管在20世纪早期，Coeur d‘Alene是记载最好的萨利什语之一，但该社区几乎没有这种纪录片材料。自收集以来，1200多页未出版的实地笔记和打字手稿以及一些录音资料一直尘埃落定。各种词典和语法都是在数字革命之前准备好的，只有最坚定的研究人员才能获得，但社区成员却无法获得。该研究小组由语言学家和Coeur d‘Alene社区成员组成，将开发一个在线数字档案馆(已经处于试点阶段)，以(1)保存和(2)以学者和社区成员都可以利用的格式适当地获取这些丰富的资源。将利用资金扩大试点档案已有资源之外的资源数量，并使整个网上储存库符合语文数据网上存档的最佳做法。

Coeur d'Alene (ISO 639-3 crd/Salish, USA, henceforth CRD) is a language no longer spoken by children. Ethnologue classifies this language as nearly extinct, with only two elderly native speakers. However, the Coeur d'Alene community has a strong interest in revitalizing the language. Under the direction of locally controlled language programs, a number of community members have passed through the language programs. In spite of the fact that Coeur d'Alene was, in the early part of the 20th century, one of the best-documented Salish languages, the community has access to precious little of this documentary material. Over 1,200 pages of unpublished field notes and typed manuscripts, along with a number of audio recordings, have sat collecting dust over the years since their collection. Various dictionaries and grammars, all prepared before the digital revolution, have been available only to the most determined researchers, but not to community members. The research team, group including linguists and Coeur d'Alene community members, will develop an online digital archive (already in pilot) to (1) preserve and (2) make appropriately accessible some of this wealth of resources in formats that can be utilized by scholars and community members alike. Funding will be utilized to expand the number of resources beyond those already in the pilot archive, and to bring the entire web repository into line with best practices for web archiving of language data.
