CoLang: Institute for Collaborative Language Research

“CoLang”，即合作语言研究所，将于2012年6月至7月在堪萨斯大学举行。该研究所为研究生，实践语言学家和社区语言学家提供了一个机会，以接受以社区为中心的语言文档培训。两个早期的研究所，以前称为内场，在2008年在加州大学，圣巴巴拉，并在2010年在俄勒冈州大学举行。为期六周的研究所包括两个部分：工作研讨会，其中包括为期两周的文献语言学实践强化讲习班，然后是实习，为期四周的语言科学和技术应用于现场经验文献的学徒（又名。“领域语言学”）。工作坊提供团队授课，语言理论和发现，技术，社区语言工作和应用语言学的最先进的培训。实习允许学生通过与未充分学习的语言的发言者合作来实现所有这些技能。2012年将提供三到四种语言的实习。

"CoLang," the Institute for Collaborative Language Research, will be held at the University of Kansas in June-July, 2012. The Institute provides an opportunity for graduate students, practicing linguists, and community linguists to become trained in community-centered language documentation. Two earlier Institutes, formerly called InField, were held in 2008 at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and in 2010 at the University of Oregon. The six-week Institute consists of two parts: the Work­shops, which consist of two weeks of intensive workshops on the practice of documentary linguistics, followed by a Practicum, a four-week apprenticeship in the application of linguistic science and technology to on-site empirical documentation (a.k.a. "field linguistics"). The Workshops offer team-taught, state-of-the-art training in linguistic theory and discovery, technology, community language work, and applied linguistics. The Practicum allows students to implement all of these skills by working with speakers of understudied languages. Three or four language Practicums will be offered in 2012.
