This project will bring together scholars, students, and community members representing language documentation research projects funded by the National Science Foundation/National Endowment for the Humanities Documenting Endangered Languages Program (DEL) in order to participate in three organized sessions at the annual meeting of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA). Since its inception in 2003, DEL has funded hundreds of institutes and conferences, fellowships, and doctoral dissertations. In addition to "standard" documentation projects, increasingly, projects have come to include cross-disciplinary collaboration benefitting language revitalization and teaching, and community collaboration and capacity-building. These events will offer the opportunity for both reflection on significant achievements from DEL projects in the past fifteen years, and also for discussion about what directions documentation, archival preservation, and revitalization projects should take for the future. These events will allow participants to demonstrate how the science of documentation research can be co-constructed, from project conception, through to methods, and on to outputs, via considering indigenous interpretations and knowledge. The events will also allow participants to share how their documentation research has facilitated construction of sustainable community collaborations and educational opportunities, and fostered the rethinking of power distribution in situations of community involvement in documentation research. Broader impacts include the cross-pollination of ideas from different disciplinary perspectives, the potential for increased participation by Native Hawaiians, Alaska Natives and American Indians, historically underrepresented groups in linguistics, and the evaluation of the impact of federal funding from two distinct agencies in terms of intellectual merit and broader impacts, merit review criteria at NSF determined by the National Science Board.These events are scheduled to coincide with and complement LSA-organized celebrations of the 2019 International Year of Indigenous Languages. Led by two NSF DEL award holders, the events will provide a platform for case studies of demonstrating the relevance of documentation research to science more generally, and also how funded projects provide training opportunities for community members, and members' roles in valuable resource creation. Importantly, the project will support the attendance of students and community partners, allowing for multiple viewpoints and perspectives about shaping and conducting documenting research for, by, and with language communities. The methodology employed will include pre-event dialogue between participants and project leaders to shape presentations and discussions according to project goals, and will also include allotted time during the events for audience-participant interaction. The outcomes of this project will articulate and promote community-based approaches toward the conceptualization and carryout of future documentation research. The participant collaborators will disseminate recommendations and best practices for community-oriented documentation research, and through post-conference publications, they will also provide examples and resources for future project directors and those with whom they partner.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.

该项目将召集代表由国家科学基金会/国家人文捐赠基金会资助的语言文档研究项目的学者，学生和社区成员，以便在美国语言学会（LSA）年度会议上参加三个有组织的会议（LSA）。自2003年成立以来，DEL资助了数百家机构和会议，奖学金和博士学位论文。除了“标准”文档项目外，越来越多的项目还包括跨学科合作，使语言振兴和教学受益，以及社区合作和能力建设。这些事件将为过去15年来对DEL项目的重大成就提供反思，并讨论有关未来的指示文档，档案保存和振兴项目。这些事件将使参与者能够通过考虑土著解释和知识来展示如何从项目概念到方法到方法到输出的文档研究科学。这些活动还将允许参与者分享他们的文档研究如何促进可持续社区合作和教育机会的建设，并在社区参与文档研究的情况下促进了对电量分销的重新思考。 Broader impacts include the cross-pollination of ideas from different disciplinary perspectives, the potential for increased participation by Native Hawaiians, Alaska Natives and American Indians, historically underrepresented groups in linguistics, and the evaluation of the impact of federal funding from two distinct agencies in terms of intellectual merit and broader impacts, merit review criteria at NSF determined by the National Science Board.These events are scheduled to coincide with and补充了2019年国际土著语言年度的LSA组织庆祝活动。这些事件由两个NSF DEL奖励持有人领导，将为案例研究提供一个平台，以更广泛地证明文档研究与科学的相关性，以及资助的项目如何为社区成员提供培训机会，以及成员在宝贵的资源创造中的作用。重要的是，该项目将支持学生和社区合作伙伴的出席，以允许多种观点和观点，以塑造和进行记录研究，以及与语言社区的记录研究。所采用的方法将包括参与者与项目负责人之间的事前对话，以根据项目目标来塑造演示文稿和讨论，还将包括在活动互动的活动期间分配的时间。该项目的结果将阐明并促进基于社区的方法来概念化和未来文档研究。参与者的合作者将传播针对社区的文档研究的建议和最佳实践，并通过会议后出版物，他们还将为未来的项目董事及其合作的人提供示例和资源。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识分子优点和广泛影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被视为值得的支持。
