RAPID: Documenting Endangered Languages Outreach Video Series

最近的技术进步创造了记录濒危语言的新方法。 该项目将提供视频格式的这些进展的概述，并将由该领域的专家提出。 该项目的目的是支持制作最高质量的文献语言产品，并促进这些领域的研究。 这些宣传视频的主要受众是来自少数群体社区的语言学家或语言专家，他们可能从事语言文献工作，但无法获得最先进的教学。从长远来看，更多地参与记录濒危语言将有助于对更广泛的记录不足的濒危语言有新的了解，每一种语言都提供了关于人类语言和认知的独特信息。 它们将包括有关语言分析工具（转录，行间注释创建和声学分析）以及词典，语法和语料库创建所需的语言分析的信息。 专家们还将审查元数据创建和存档的现行标准，以及文献语言学研究的资助机制。

Recent advances in technology have created new methodologies in documenting endangered languages. This project will provide an overview of these advances in video format and will be presented by experts in field. The purpose of the project is to support production of the highest quality of documentary linguistic products and stimulate research in these areas. The primary audience for these outreach videos are linguists or language experts from minority communities who may engage in language documentation but do not have access to state-of-the-art instruction. Over the long term, greater participation in documenting endangered languages will contribute new knowledge of a wider array of under-documented endangered languages each of which provide unique information on human language and cognition.The videos will be uploaded as YouTube videos and will be freely available online. They will include information on tools for language analysis (transcription, interlinear gloss creation, and acoustic analysis) and linguistic analysis needed for dictionary, grammar, and corpus creation. Experts will also review current standards in metadata creation and archiving, and funding mechanisms for documentary linguistic research.
