Oklahoma Language Digitization and Access Project

由于历史的原因，俄克拉荷马州的美洲原住民部落异常集中，这些部落最初来自整个大陆。因此，那里所说的语言范围特别丰富。俄克拉荷马州自然历史博物馆(SNOMNH)收藏的美国原住民语言包括严重濒危且在图书馆和档案馆中代表性不足的语言，主要来自俄克拉何马州。在NSF的支持下，Mary Linn博士计划扩展母语的文档，并增加现有和新创建的收藏的可访问性和可用性。这将通过直接的策展工作和培训母语使用者和教育工作者来实现。将举办三期讲习班中的两期：1)音频/视频记录的最佳做法，2)音频/视频收藏的数字化和档案做法，以及3)文件：从录音到课堂使用。此外，对于没有或很少有发言者的部落来说，有一个单独的？生命气息？讲习班将培训学员如何使用现有的语言和音频材料进行语言记录和学习。这些研讨会将帮助部落语言项目和档案馆进行自己的记录和归档实践，并使参与者熟悉SNOMNH美洲原住民语言收藏、服务和项目。这些收藏使教学课程和教材的制作成为可能，这些课程和材料的社区正在努力维护这些课程和材料。它还为语音、音系学、句法、词法、语用学、语篇分析以及历史和比较语言学的语言学研究提供了数据。通过培训讲习班，SNOMNH将促进语言振兴工作中的文件编制。项目工作人员将与当地土著社区密切合作，使这些财产尽可能容易获得和使用，以努力鼓励所有土著人民充分利用现有材料。这将使那些不太熟悉档案和学术场所的人能够利用这些资源，作为其语文振兴和维护工作的一部分。这些培训方案还将帮助部落语言方案和档案馆与他们的学术伙伴合作，帮助推动文件编制和音像资料归档方面不断发展的标准。

Due to historical forces, Oklahoma has an unusually high concentration of Native American tribes, originally from all over the continent. The range of languages spoken there is thus especially rich. The Native American Languages collections at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History (SNOMNH) cover languages, primarily from Oklahoma, that are severely endangered and under-represented in libraries and archives. With NSF support, Dr. Mary Linn plans to expand the documentation of Native languages and increase the accessibility and usablility of existing and newly created collections. This will be accomplished both with direct curatorial effort and through training Native language speakers and educators. Two series of three workshops will be given: 1) Best practices in audio/video recording, 2) Digitization and archival practices for audio/video collections, and 3) Documentation: From recordings to classroom use. Further, for tribes who have no or very few speakers, a separate ?Breath of Life? workshop will train participants in the use of existing linguistic and audio materials for language documentation and learning. These workshops will help tribal language programs and archives in their own documenting and archiving practices as well as familiarize the participants to the SNOMNH Native American Languages collections, services, and programs. The collection makes possible the production of teaching curriculum and materials for the whose communities are trying to maintain them. It also provides data for linguistic research in phonetics, phonology, syntax, morphology, pragmatics, discourse analysis, and historical and comparative linguistics. With the training workshops, the SNOMNH will promote documentation in language revitalization efforts. Project staff will work closely with local Native communities in order to make the holdings as accessible and as usable as possible in an effort to encourage all Native people to take full advantage of existing material. This will enable those less familiar with archives and academic venues to use these resources as part of their language revitalization and maintenance efforts. The training programs will also help partner tribal-based language programs and archives with their academic partners to help contribute to the evolving standards in documentation and archiving audio/visual data.
