Collaborative Research: Coeur d'Alene Online Digital Resources

Coeur d'Alene （ISO 639- 3crd /Salish， USA，以下简称crd）是一种儿童不再使用的语言。民族学将这种语言归类为几乎灭绝的语言，只有两位老年人说这种语言。然而，Coeur d'Alene社区对振兴该语言有着强烈的兴趣。在当地控制的语言课程的指导下，许多社区成员已经通过了语言课程。尽管在20世纪早期，Coeur d'Alene语是记录最完整的萨利希语之一，但该社区能接触到的这类文献资料却很少。超过1200页的未发表的现场笔记和打字手稿，以及一些录音，自被收集以来已经积满了灰尘。各种各样的词典和语法，都是在数字革命之前编写的，只有最坚定的研究人员才能使用，而社区成员却无法使用。由语言学家和Coeur d'Alene社区成员组成的研究小组将开发一个在线数字档案（已经在试点阶段），以(1)保存和(2)以学者和社区成员都可以使用的格式适当地访问其中的一些丰富资源。资金将用于扩大试点存档中现有资源的数量，并使整个web存储库符合语言数据web存档的最佳实践。

Coeur d'Alene (ISO 639-3 crd/Salish, USA, henceforth CRD) is a language no longer spoken by children. Ethnologue classifies this language as nearly extinct, with only two elderly native speakers. However, the Coeur d'Alene community has a strong interest in revitalizing the language. Under the direction of locally controlled language programs, a number of community members have passed through the language programs. In spite of the fact that Coeur d'Alene was, in the early part of the 20th century, one of the best-documented Salish languages, the community has access to precious little of this documentary material. Over 1,200 pages of unpublished field notes and typed manuscripts, along with a number of audio recordings, have sat collecting dust over the years since their collection. Various dictionaries and grammars, all prepared before the digital revolution, have been available only to the most determined researchers, but not to community members. The research team, group including linguists and Coeur d'Alene community members, will develop an online digital archive (already in pilot) to (1) preserve and (2) make appropriately accessible some of this wealth of resources in formats that can be utilized by scholars and community members alike. Funding will be utilized to expand the number of resources beyond those already in the pilot archive, and to bring the entire web repository into line with best practices for web archiving of language data.
