This project supports a series of interdisciplinary Master Classes to be held as a special nonrepeating component of the 3rd International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC), to take place at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa in early 2013. The theme of the conference is "Sharing Worlds of Knowledge," which references the need of documentary linguists to be familiar with many disciplines outside of linguistics, because language encodes knowledge from all facets of life. The Master Classes will be taught by experts in a range of fields (e.g. ethnobotany, ethnomusicology, kinship systems), and are designed to give participants at the ICLDC the opportunity to learn how to document these topics. This project will bring one plenary speaker to the conference to talk about interdisciplinary field-based documentary work; it will also sponsor six graduate students and/or nonacademic language workers to attend the 3rd ICLDC and Master Class series. The 3rd ICLDC is a much-anticipated conference that builds on the firm foundation established by the previous two conferences in 2009 and 2011. As evidenced by its growing popularity, the biennial conference is considered by many to be the flagship meeting of the field of documentary linguistics. The Master Classes have great potential to enhance the value of language documentation by giving researchers some basic knowledge of fields outside of linguistics. Although this is just one series of classes, it builds on the growing interest in interdisciplinary approaches to language documentation. Data collected with an eye toward the needs and interests of other disciplines will be more useful to a wider academic audience in the future, may foster increased collaboration between documentary linguists and researchers in other fields, and will help preserve for language communities the cultural and procedural knowledge that is often lost when a language disappears.

该项目支持将于2013年初在夏威夷大学马诺阿分校举行的第三届语言文献与保护国际会议（ICLDC）的一系列跨学科硕士班。会议的主题是“共享知识的世界”，它提到了文献语言学家需要熟悉语言学之外的许多学科，因为语言编码来自生活各个方面的知识。大师班将由一系列领域的专家授课（例如民族植物学，民族音乐学，亲属系统），旨在让ICLDC的参与者有机会学习如何记录这些主题。该项目将带来一个全体发言人的会议，谈论跨学科领域的文献工作;它还将赞助六名研究生和/或非学术语言工作者参加第三届ICLDC和大师班系列。 第三届ICLDC是一次备受期待的会议，它建立在2009年和2011年前两次会议建立的坚实基础上。由于其日益受欢迎，两年一度的会议被许多人认为是文献语言学领域的旗舰会议。大师班有很大的潜力，以提高语言文献的价值，为研究人员提供一些语言学以外的领域的基本知识。虽然这只是一个系列课程，但它建立在对语言文档跨学科方法日益增长的兴趣之上。着眼于其他学科的需求和兴趣收集的数据将在未来对更广泛的学术受众更有用，可能会促进文献语言学家和其他领域研究人员之间的合作，并将有助于为语言社区保存文化和程序知识，这些知识往往会在语言消失时丢失。
