Dictionary and Textbase of Euchee (Yuchi)

在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，玛丽博士。Linn将花三年时间收集Euchee（Yuchi）单词和文本，并将信息输入数据库。美洲原住民语言Euchee是一种遗传隔离，最初在东南部使用。 1832年，尤奇人被迁移到俄克拉荷马州，今天大约有2,500人居住在那里。 只有12位长老继续说这种语言。该项目将产生两大成果。它将产生第一本Euchee语言词典，包含大约6，000个条目，并为每个单词提供可靠的拼写，语法分析和例句，沿着英语Euchee查找器，文化特定术语的绘图以及动词的完整变形。该项目还将建立一个Euchee文本数据库，这将为未来的Euchee语法，话语分析，民俗和神话工作提供最重要的资源。该项目将为Euchee语言和振兴计划做出重大贡献。这本词典将为教师和语言学习者提供一个急需的工具。该数据库及其声音文件可以创建辅助学习词典、CD词典和教材以及Euchee文献。该词典和数据库将为对东南部土著语言的历史和比较研究感兴趣的研究人员增加不断增长的资源，并且它将成为研究与Euchee可能的遥远遗传关系的主要资源。该项目也将是感兴趣的研究人员在语言类型学，民族史，民俗学和人类学工作。

With National Science Foundation support, Dr. Mary S. Linn will spend three years collecting Euchee (Yuchi) words and texts and entering the information into a database. The Native American language Euchee is a genetic isolate that was originally spoken in the Southeast. In 1832, the Euchee were removed to Oklahoma, where the tribe of approximately 2,500 people lives today. Only 12 elders continue to speak the language. This project will have two major results. It will produce the first dictionary of the Euchee language, containing approximately 6,000 entries, and providing reliable spellings, grammatical analyses, and example sentences for each word, along with an English-Euchee finder, drawings of culturally specific terms, and full conjugations for verbs. The project will also create a database of Euchee texts, which will provide the most significant resource for future work on Euchee grammar, discourse analysis, folklore and mythology.This project will contribute significantly to the Euchee language and revitalization programs. The dictionary will provide a much-needed tool for teachers and language learners. The database and its sound files can create supplementary learner's dictionaries, CD dictionaries and teaching materials, and Euchee literature. The dictionary and database will add to the growing resources for researchers interested in historical and comparative studies of the indigenous languages of the Southeast, and it will be the main resource for investigating possible distant genetic relationships to Euchee. The project will also be of interest to researchers working in linguistic typology, ethnohistory, folklore, and anthropology.
