Conversational Pomo Documentation Project

该项目将创建一个基于网络的东波莫语口语词典，由一名波莫语老人（唯一一个流利的母语者）撰写，以满足语言社区对这种快速消失的语言的现代文献的需求。作为七种不同的波莫语之一，东波莫语填补了这一语言家族的独特空白，而且文献记录严重不足。口语词典将在Pomo语言资源库中构建，这是一个现有的、有密码保护的网络应用程序，具有数字Pomo语言资源的可搜索数据库。在创建首个东方波莫语数字口语词典的过程中，该项目将在现代会话学习框架中模拟波莫语文档的情境化方法，同时为东方波莫语学习者、教师和学者提供可访问的资源。该项目的研究小组将由一名语言学家、加州印第安博物馆和文化中心（CIMCC）波莫语言保护项目的波莫社区成员以及东波莫语的讲者组成。该团队将首先与CIMCC的数据库专家合作创建一个词汇数据库，该数据库的结构将指导后续的实地工作。然后，该团队将一起工作，记录创建词典所需的80小时或更长时间的语言数据。关于东波莫的现代文献很少。由于只剩下一个能说一口流利英语的人，因此创造一个具有东方后现代特征的语言实践的现代记录，以告知该语言中正在进行的对话增长，这是至关重要的，因为对话是语言复兴和文化发展的核心。

This project will create a web-based, spoken dictionary of Eastern Pomo with a Pomo elder who is the lone fluent native speaker, to meet the speech community's need for modern documentation of this fast disappearing language. One of seven distinct Pomoan languages, Eastern Pomo fills a unique gap in this family of languages and is seriously under-documented. The spoken dictionary will be constructed within the Pomo Language Repository, an existing, password-protected, web application that features a searchable database of digital Pomo language resources. In creating the first digital spoken dictionary of Eastern Pomo, this project will model methods for contextualizing Pomo language documentation within a modern conversational learning framework, while providing an accessible resource for Eastern Pomo learners, teachers and scholars. The research team for this project will consist of a linguist, Pomo community members who staff the California Indian Museum and Cultural Center (CIMCC) Pomo Language Preservation Program, and the speaker of Eastern Pomo. The team will begin the project by working with CIMCC's database specialist to create a lexical database, the structure of which will guide the subsequent fieldwork. The team will then work together to record 80 hours or more of the language data needed to create the dictionary. Modern documentation of Eastern Pomo is scarce. With only one fluent speaker remaining, it is vital to create a modern record of the language practices characteristic of Eastern Pomo to inform on-going conversational growth in the language as conversation is the heart of language revitalization and cultural development.
