Satellite Workshop for Archival Preparation

该奖项将支持将于2016年1月举行的美国语言学会(LSA)年会期间举办的档案编制卫星讲习班。根据国家科学基金会的政策，调查人员应该向其他研究人员提供在国家科学基金会拨款下创建或收集的原始数据和物理收集。然而，与存档数据相关联的元数据通常不足以允许比较来自相关研究的数据，例如声音文件；如果没有商定的编码协议，就不可能在语音语料库之间进行共享和比较。被邀请的参与者将被要求就社会经济和教育发言人人口统计等因素以及语言选择、立场和立足点提出具体的编码惯例。为这些因素使用适当的元数据将有助于共享语料库和研究，以确定每个因素如何影响语言使用。NSF之前的一笔赠款促成了一个研讨会，在研讨会上，领先学者讨论了数据协议，获得了伦理委员会对人类受试者研究的批准，并确保收集的关于人类受试者的人口统计、态度和他们被记录的情况的信息提供了足够的范围和细节，以便能够在不同研究之间进行有意义的比较，从而鼓励数据共享。根据这一模式，本研讨会将扩展所涵盖的主题，并提供一个培训论坛，在其中为符合NSF政策的可共享数据制定协议。该奖项还将支持学生参与培训和讨论。

This award will support a satellite workshop on Archival Preparation to be held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) in January, 2016. Under NSF Policy, investigators are expected to make available to other researchers the primary data and physical collections created or gathered under NSF grants. However, the metadata associated with archived data are often inadequate to permit data, e.g. sound files, from related studies to be compared; without an agreed-upon coding protocol, there can be no sharing and comparison across speech corpora. Invited participants will be asked to suggest specific coding conventions for such factors as socioeconomic and educational speaker demographics, and for language choice, stance and footing. Using appropriate metadata for these factors will facilitate sharing of corpora and research to determine how each factor impacts on language use. A previous NSF grant enabled a workshop in which leading scholars discussed data protocols, obtaining ethics board approval for human subject research, and ensuring that the information gathered about human subject demographics, attitudes and the situations in which they were recorded provide enough scope and detail to permit meaningful comparison across studies, and thus encourage data sharing. Following that model, this workshop will extend the topics covered, and provide a training forum in which to develop protocols for sharable data that conform to NSF policy. This award will also support the participation of students in the training and discussions.
