Collaborative Research: CoLang 2020: Institute for Collaborative Language Research, Montana

协作和以社区为基础的研究模式越来越受到语言文献和振兴领域的关注。合作语言研究所自2008年成立以来，一直是研究人员和社区语言工作者两年一度的场所，接受关于合作语言研究的强化培训，以应对面对世界范围的语言濒危危机对高质量语言文件的全球需求。2020年，CoLang将在蒙大拿大学(UM)举行，由蒙大拿大学和首席迟钝刀学院(CDKC--蒙大拿州北部夏延族的一所两年制部落学院)共同主办。它将把利益攸关方聚集在一起，在所有参与者之间发展合作实践和扩大网络，其中包括语言工作者、语言活动家、语言教师、本科生和研究生以及学术界和语言界的语言学家。在相互合作中，CoLang 2020联合主持人(UM和CDKC)将展示组织层面的土著/非土著合作，并鼓励美国和加拿大土著社区的参与。该研究所在发展和分享科学、伦理和可持续方法方面的前沿做法，以了解世界上约7 000种语言的语言结构，并了解语言在社区一级发挥的复杂而重要的作用，从而不断提高语言学知识。项目活动的更广泛影响包括对广大受众进行以社区为中心的语言文献技能培训，通过语言科学支持和建设部落学院和大学(TCU)在STEM方面的能力，以及美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加土著更广泛地参与语言科学。科朗在2008年(加州大学圣巴巴拉分校)、2010年(俄勒冈大学)、2012年(堪萨斯大学)、2014年(德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校)、2016年(阿拉斯加大学-费尔班克斯分校)和2018年(佛罗里达大学)举办过多个研究所，在国内和国际上取得了显著的成功，以前的参与者将研究所的经验融入到世界各地成功的实地考察项目和社区记录活动中。CoLang 2020将用五周的时间进行语言文档协作方法的强化培训。头两周将包括有重点的讲习班和有组织的讨论，提供关于最新语言技术、跨学科方法和伦理社区合作最佳做法的实践培训。在接下来的三周时间里，学生们将直接与说某些濒危语言的人合作，结合在前面的研讨会中学到的技能，直接学习记录方法和应用程序。通过由来自国际社会的土著和学术专家组成的国际语言和跨学科研究人员联合讲师提供的强化培训，研究所走在了方法发展的前列。重要的是，CoLang 2020在这一领域的活动继续支持社会和行为科学中稳健、可靠和伦理研究的模型。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Collaborative and community-based research models have increasingly been the interests in the field of language documentation and revitalization. Since its inception in 2008, the Institute on Collaborative Language Research (CoLang) has been a biennial venue for researchers and community language workers to receive intensive training in collaborative language research responding to the global need for quality language documentation in the face of the world-wide crisis in language endangerment. In 2020, CoLang will be held at the University of Montana (UM), co-hosted by UM and Chief Dull Knife College (CDKC -- a two-year tribal college of the Northern Cheyenne in Montana). It will bring stakeholders together to develop collaborative practices and extend networking among all participants including language workers, language activists, language teachers, undergraduate and graduate students, and linguists from both academic and language communities. In partnering with each other, CoLang 2020 co-hosts (UM and CDKC) will demonstrate an Indigenous/non-Indigenous collaboration at the organizational level and encourage participation from the Indigenous communities of the United States and Canada. The Institute has continuously advanced knowledge in linguistics by its role in developing and sharing cutting edge practices in the scientific, ethical and sustainable methods for understanding the linguistic structure of the world's estimated 7,000 languages and for understanding the complex and important role language plays at the community level. Broader impacts of project activities includes the training of a wide range of audiences in skills in community-centered language documentation, supporting and building capacity at Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) in STEM through the language sciences and the broadening participation of American Indians and Alaska Natives in the language sciences. With prior Institutes held in 2008 (University of California, Santa Barbara), 2010 (University of Oregon), 2012 (University of Kansas), 2014 (University of Texas-Arlington), 2016 (University of Alaska-Fairbanks), and 2018 (University of Florida), CoLang has developed a significant track record of national and international success, and previous participants have incorporated their Institute experiences into successful fieldwork projects and community documentation activities worldwide. CoLang 2020 will devote five weeks to intensive training in collaborative approaches to language documentation. The first two weeks will consist of focused workshops and organized discussions, providing hands-on training in the latest linguistic technology, interdisciplinary methods, and best practices in ethical community collaborations. The following three weeks are dedicated to "practica" (intensive field methods), where students will work directly with speakers of selected endangered languages to learn documentation methods and applications first-hand, integrating the skills acquired during the preceding workshops. The Institute is at the forefront of methodology development through the intensive training facilitated by co-instructors coming from the international community of indigenous and academic experts in linguistic and interdisciplinary researchers. Importantly, CoLang 2020 activities in this area continue to support models of robust, reliable, and ethical research in the social and behavioral sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
