ICE (Integrating Cartographic Elements: Creating Resources Emphasizing Arctic Materials)

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。北极地区是40多种土著语言的家园，这些语言来自至少六个基因上不相关的语系：乌拉尔语、阿尔泰语、楚科奇-堪察加语、爱斯基摩-阿留申语、Dene-Yeniseian语、尤卡吉尔语和孤立的Nivkh语。北极地区的迅速变化导致土著语言的濒危或灭绝，而该地区在地理上的相对隔绝进一步给记录这些变化造成了困难。地图为研究人员提供了一种透明的方式来组织和分析异构的、跨学科的数据。而将分布在极地地区的地理语言学资源集中起来，将确保科学界的所有研究人员都能随时获得这些数据。ICE：整合地图元素：创造以北极材料为重点的资源？项目将把北极制图数据和地理语言学资源整合到一个相互关联的数据库网络中，该网络已由语言学家列表（http://linguistlist.org）维护。此外，还将开发设备，使研究人员能够实时向地理语言学数据库添加数据。同时，ICE将为对北极和新兴的地理语言学领域感兴趣的有前途的研究生提供制图和语言学培训。该项目将加强该地区现有的地图和语族数据，将这些数据与相关的非语言信息结合起来。这些数据不仅会引起语言学家的兴趣，也会引起人类学、地理学、考古学、历史学和遗传学等相关学科的兴趣。此外，该项目的教育部分将间接使社区团体受益。该项目将培养研究助理的技术专长，当他们进入语言领域工作项目时，这些专业知识将为北极的语言社区提供服务。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The Arctic region is home to over 40 indigenous languages from at least six genetically unrelated language families: Uralic, Altaic, Chukotko-Kamchatkan, Eskimo-Aleut, Dene-Yeniseian, Yukagir, and the isolate Nivkh. Rapid change in the Arctic has led to the endangerment or extinction of the indigenous languages, and the relative geographic isolation of the region has further created difficulties in recording these changes. Maps provide researchers with a transparent way to organize and analyze heterogeneous, cross-disciplinary data. And the centralization of distributed geolinguistic resources on the Polar Regions will ensure that such data is readily available to all researchers in the scientific community.The "ICE:Integrating Cartographic Elements: Creating Resources Emphasizing Arctic Materials (ICE)? project will integrate Arctic cartographic data and geolinguistic resources into a network of interlinked databases that is already maintained by The LINGUIST List (http://linguistlist.org). In addition, facilities will be developed to enable researchers to add data in real time to the geolinguistic database. At the same time, ICE will provide both cartographic and linguistic training to promising graduate students interested in the Arctic and the burgeoning new field of geolinguistics.The project will enhance existing map and language family data in the region, integrating these data with relevant non-linguistic information. The data will be of interest not only to linguists, but also to related scientific disciplines such as anthropology, geography, archaeology, history, and genetics. Moreover, the educational component of the project will indirectly benefit community groups. The project will develop the technical expertise of research assistants, and this expertise, as they move into linguistic field work projects, will become available to speaker communities in the Arctic.
