Digital language archives worldwide now host thousands of hours of audio and video digital recordings and linguistically analyzed data samples. The processing and storing of this material has happened so quickly that adequate attention has not been paid to whether deposited materials can be appropriately searched, analyzed, understood, and interpreted by various research and speaker communities. Design anthropologist Christina Wasson from the University of North Texas and linguist and language archivist Gary Holton from the University of Alaska will investigate how digital language deposits at major language archives are structured. Bringing together language archivists, field linguists, and endangered language community members in a workshop setting, Wasson and Holton will use principles of User Center Design to evaluate the usability of archives from several perspectives including access, navigation, and database structure. The interdisciplinary dialogue at this workshop could initiate a paradigm shift for language archive designers and managers and ultimately have positive repercussions for computationally-based research methods in linguistics.

全世界的数字语言档案馆现在拥有数千小时的音频和视频数字记录以及语言分析数据样本。这些材料的处理和存储发生得如此之快，以至于没有足够的注意力来关注各种研究和演讲者社区是否可以适当地搜索，分析，理解和解释这些材料。来自北德克萨斯大学的设计人类学家克里斯蒂娜·沃森和来自阿拉斯加大学的语言学家和语言档案管理员加里霍尔顿将调查主要语言档案馆的数字语言存款是如何构建的。 将语言档案学家，领域语言学家和濒危语言社区成员聚集在一起，Wasson和霍尔顿将使用用户中心设计的原则，从几个角度评估档案的可用性，包括访问，导航和数据库结构。本次研讨会的跨学科对话可以为语言档案设计者和管理者带来范式转变，并最终对语言学中基于计算的研究方法产生积极影响。
