Eastern Shoshone Lexical Database

东肖肖尼语是在怀俄明州中部风河印第安人保留地使用的乌托-阿兹特克语系的一员，目前已濒临灭绝，能流利使用的人不到100人。 与Uto-Aztecan语系的其他成员相比，东肖肖尼语的记录不足。 东肖肖尼语词汇数据库是东肖肖尼文化中心和美国印第安人研究项目（AIS）在怀俄明州大学（UW）之间合作创建的一个项目，是一个为期两年的研究工作，通过整合音频和转录词汇材料来开发电子词汇数据库。 完成后，从这个项目产生的材料将被存档在美国遗产中心（AHC）在怀俄明州的大学。这个东肖肖尼文件项目将由美国印第安人研究计划在华盛顿大学的主任和东肖肖尼文化中心的东肖肖尼语言协调员领导。 一个由五位长者、一位语言人类学家、一位研究助理和一位暑期实习生组成的小组将完成这个团队。项目工作人员将从现有文本文件中提取词汇和语言材料，作为数据库的起点。2002年至2007年期间以数字方式记录的大约14 000个东肖肖尼语词汇将被转录，并以音频和书面形式加入数据库，同时沿着将在本项目期间从长老小组收集的例句。 该数据库将包括数字记录的单词，样本短语和句子，这些单词，短语和句子的翻译，英语翻译和描述性信息。该项目将创建东肖肖尼的第一个词汇数据库。 该项目产生的材料将为今后编制其他语言和教学材料提供基础。

The Eastern Shoshone language, the member of the Uto-Aztecan language family spoken on the Wind River Indian Reservation in central Wyoming, is on the brink of extinction, with fewer than 100 fluent speakers remaining. In comparison with other members of the Uto-Aztecan language family, Eastern Shoshone is under-documented. The Eastern Shoshone Lexical Database, a project created as a partnership between the Eastern Shoshone Cultural Center and the American Indian Studies Program (AIS) at the University of Wyoming (UW), is a two-year research effort to develop an electronic lexical database by consolidating audio and transcribed lexical material. Upon completion, materials resulting from this project will be archived at the American Heritage Center (AHC) at the University of Wyoming.This Eastern Shoshone documentation project will be led by the Director of the American Indian Studies Program at UW and by the Eastern Shoshone Language Coordinator at the Eastern Shoshone Cultural Center. A panel of five elders, a linguistic anthropologist, a research assistant and a summer intern will complete the team. Project staff will extract lexical and linguistic material from existing textual documents as a starting point for the database. Approximately 14,000 Eastern Shoshone words, recorded digitally between 2002-2007, will be transcribed and added to the database in both audio and written formats, along with example phrases and sentences that will be elicited from the panel of elders during the course of this project. The database will include digital recordings of words, sample phrases and sentences, transcriptions of these words, phrases and sentences, English translation, and descriptive information. This project will create the first lexical database of Eastern Shoshone. Materials resulting form the project will provide the basis for the future development of additional language and teaching materials.
