The project's purpose is the creation of a digital corpus of two varieties of the southern Selkup language that are almost extinct. This corpus will be used as a basis for a description of the syntactic structure of those specific varieties of the Selkup language.Selkup belongs to the Samoyedic brach of the Uralic languages. It is less documented language, especially the varieties of the central and southern parts lack a systematic documentation despite the availability of textual material, which was collected through the centuries and is partly already published. The mentioned varieties of the central and southern parts have currently appr. 20 speakers, thus these varieties are facing extinction. Particular attention should therefore be paid to the in detail documentation and description of these dialects. In the course of the project already published texts will be composed, if necessary digitized and finally annotated. The goal is to create the first appropriate systematic corpus for southern and central Selkup dialects, that will not only allow further linguistic analysis, but will provide a general basis for scientific work; for example in ethnological studies. Therefore the corpus will be published in a way that ensures the open access for other scientists. On base of this corpus the project aims to create a comprehensive description of the syntax of the central and southern varieties. Enabling a holistic understanding of the language and closing a research gap, since existing research is mostly based on phonetic and morphological analysis. The few papers dealing with syntax are based on data concerning the northern variety of the Selkup dialects and are just taking a look at some very specific aspects.The project will exceed not only institutional borders but international frontiers as a collaboration with colleagues of the Tomsk State University is incorporated. To reach the goals of the whole undertaking different research methods, skills and fields of interest will be combined.

该项目的目的是创建一个数字语料库，其中包括两种几乎灭绝的南方塞尔库普语言。这个语料库将被用作描述塞尔库普语言特定变体的句法结构的基础。塞尔库普属于乌拉尔语的萨莫耶德分支。它是记录较少的语言，特别是中部和南部地区的各种变化缺乏系统的文件，尽管有文本材料，这些材料是几个世纪以来收集的，部分已经出版。上述中部和南部地区的品种目前已有。20个说话者，因此这些变种正面临灭绝。因此，应特别注意对这些方言的详细记录和描述。在该项目的过程中，将编写已出版的文本，如有必要，将其数字化，最后进行注释。目标是为南部和中部塞尔库普方言建立第一个适当的系统语料库，这不仅将使进一步的语言分析成为可能，而且将为科学工作提供一般基础，例如在民族学研究方面。因此，语料库将以一种确保其他科学家开放获取的方式发布。在此语料库的基础上，本项目旨在对中南部变种的句法进行全面的描写。实现对语言的整体理解，缩小研究差距，因为现有的研究大多基于语音和形态分析。这几篇涉及句法的论文是基于关于塞尔库普方言北部变体的数据，只是着眼于一些非常具体的方面。由于纳入了与托木斯克国立大学的同事的合作，该项目不仅将超越机构边界，而且将超越国际边界。为了实现整个项目的目标，将结合不同的研究方法、技能和感兴趣的领域。
