2014 Institute on Collaborative Language Research (CoLang/InField)

2014年协作语言研究所(CoLang/Infield)将于2014年6月和7月在德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校举行。该研究所提供关键培训，以产生更多和更好的实地工作，以应对全球语言濒危危机。因此，各种各样的受众接受了以社区为中心的语言文档方面的多方面技能培训。讲师来自国际社会，由土著和学术专家组成，提供最先进的强化培训。参与者包括本科生和研究生、实习语言学家和土著社区成员。凭借2008年(加州大学圣巴巴拉分校)、2010年(俄勒冈大学)和2012年(堪萨斯大学)举办的先期研究所，研究所在国内和国际上取得了显著的成功，吸引了来自美国、加拿大和至少20个其他国家的受众。以前的参与者将他们的研究所的经验运用到世界各地成功的实地考察和社区文件项目中。研究所由两部分组成，总共持续六周。首先，为期两周的密集讲习班侧重于文献语言学的实践和原则，范围从新技术、跨学科方法到伦理社区合作的最佳做法。之后，该研究所提供了一个可选的四周的强化实地方法课程，重点是几种不同的濒危语言。这些课程整合了在前面的研讨会中学到的技术和文档技能。因此，整个为期六周的研究所为那些新进入实地工作的人提供了将新获得的方法、技术技能和协作方法付诸实践的机会。鉴于技术工具和方法的迅速变化，甚至自2008年第一个研究所以来，2014年研究所就为学员和教员提供了获取和分享语言文件方面的前沿知识的机会，与专家和可能的合作者建立网络联系，并在实地方法班现场记录濒危语言。

The 2014 Institute on Collaborative Language Research (CoLang/InField) will be held at The University of Texas at Arlington in June and July 2014. The Institute provides critical training to generate more and better fieldwork as a response to the global crisis of language endangerment. As a result, a wide variety of audiences become trained in a multi-faceted set of skills in community-centered language documentation. Instructors come from the international community of indigenous and academic experts to provide state-of-the-art, intensive training. Participants include undergraduate and graduate students, practicing linguists, and members of indigenous communities. With prior Institutes held in 2008 (University of California, Santa Barbara), 2010 (University of Oregon), and 2012 (University of Kansas), the Institute has a developed a significant track record of national and international success, drawing an audience from the United States, Canada, and at least twenty other countries. Previous participants have parlayed their Institute experiences into successful fieldwork ventures and community documentation projects worldwide.The Institute consists of two parts, lasting six weeks total. First, two weeks of intensive workshops focus on the practice and principles of documentary linguistics, ranging from new technology to interdisciplinary methods to best practices in ethical community collaborations. Following that, the Institute offers an optional four weeks of intensive field methods courses focused on several different endangered languages. These integrate the technology and documentation skills acquired during the preceding workshops. The entire six-week Institute thus offers those new to fieldwork the opportunity to put into practice the newly-acquired methods, technical skills, and collaborative approaches. Given the rapid changes in technological tools and methodologies, even since the first Institute in 2008, the 2014 Institute offers the opportunity for participants and instructors to acquire and share cutting-edge knowledge in language documentation, to network with experts and possible collaborators, and to document endangered languages onsite in the field methods classes.
