This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This project will document Chippewa [ciw] (Ojibwe)conversation and other non-narrative speech genres in at least three distinct varieties, filling a gap in the current documentation of the language. The research team will work with six Chippewa Elders to record, translate, transcribe, and annotate at least 22 hours of conversation and other text types. The resulting archive can be consulted by language students and linguists, and will be used in the production of interactive multimedia learning modules. This software may serve as a model for other indigenous nations in their own language revitalization efforts.This documentation project focuses on conversation, since from a socio-linguistic perspective, discourse is at the heart of language and culture. For first speakers of Chippewa, naming their world in collaborative dialogue is an essential act of cultural production that is vital for documentation and seminal for revitalization. This research may produce breakthroug contributions to Ojibwe language teaching and learning, by providing lessons based on natural conversation and other forms of discourse. The documentation project will strengthen networks across communities and institutions while training emerging second language speakers in Ojibwe documentary linguistics and involving them in software production. Documentation, training, archive creation and distribution all dovetail and overlap in reciprocal ways in this project. This project builds on previous work (funded by the Department of Education, "Ojibwe Movies") in the creation of an interactive multimedia software for teaching and learning Ojibwemowin ("Ojibwemodaa" distributed by Grassroots Indigenous Multimedia).

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该项目将记录齐佩瓦语（Ojibwe）对话和其他非叙事性演讲体裁，至少有三种不同的品种，填补了目前语言文献的空白。研究团队将与六位齐佩瓦族长者合作，记录、翻译、转录和注释至少22小时的对话和其他文本类型。由此产生的档案可供语言学生和语言学家查阅，并将用于制作交互式多媒体学习模块。这一软件可作为其他土著民族振兴自己语言努力的一个模式，这一文件项目侧重于对话，因为从社会语言学的角度来看，对话是语言和文化的核心。对于齐佩瓦人的第一批发言者来说，在合作对话中命名他们的世界是文化生产的一个重要行为，对文献记录和振兴至关重要。这项研究可能会产生突破性的贡献Ojibwe语言教学和学习，提供基于自然对话和其他形式的话语的教训。 该文献项目将加强跨社区和机构的网络，同时对新出现的第二语言使用者进行Ojibwe文献语言学培训，并让他们参与软件制作。在这个项目中，文档编制、培训、档案创建和分发都以相互吻合的方式重叠。该项目是在以前的工作（由教育部资助，“Ojibwe电影”）的基础上建立的，该工作是为教学和学习Ojibwemowin（“Ojibwemodaa”，由基层土著多媒体分发）创建一个交互式多媒体软件。
