Collaborative Research: Integrated Audio/Video Documentation of Itelmen [itl]

伊特尔曼语是一种高度濒危的语言，在俄罗斯堪察加半岛上，只有不到20人以此为母语。这个项目的主要目标是汇编对语言词典的多媒体(音频和视频)支持。该项目将尽可能多地与剩余的发言者一起录制材料，补充现有的少量收藏，并通过俄罗斯和美国的数字档案馆向后代(学者和社区成员)提供带注释的音频和视频记录。该项目的一个组成部分包括开发语言存档和分析软件。Itelman有许多罕见的类型学特征，这使得这些记录不仅狭隘地(揭示楚科特科-堪察干语系的结构和历史)，而且广泛地涉及整个语言学领域(特别是在词法、音系学和类型学领域)，以及相关领域，如语言人类学。该项目包括对美国和外地的研究生进行培训，以及对一名意大利人社区成员进行语言记录和振兴技术方面的培训。

Itelmen is a highly endangered language spoken natively by fewer than 20 individuals on the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia. The primary goal of this project is to compile multimedia (audio and video) support for a dictionary of the language. The project will record as much material as possible with the remaining speakers, supplementing small existing collections, and making annotated audio and video recordings available for posterity (both for scholars and for community members) with digital archives in both Russia and the U.S. A component of the project involves the development of software for language archiving and analysis. Itelmen has many rare typological features, which make these recordings of interest to linguistic scholarship, both narrowly (shedding light on the structure and history of the Chukotko-Kamchatkan language family), and broadly, to the field of linguistics as a whole (especially in the areas of morphology, phonology and typology), as well as related areas such as linguistic anthropology. The project includes training of graduate students in the US and in the field, as well as the training of a member of the Itelmen community in techniques of language documentation and revitalization.
