RAPID: Documenting Endangered Languages Outreach Video Series

最近的技术进步创造了记录濒危语言的新方法。本项目将以视频格式概述这些进展，并由该领域的专家介绍。该项目的目的是支持制作最高质量的纪录片语言产品，并促进这些领域的研究。这些外联视频的主要受众是来自少数民族社区的语言学家或语言专家，他们可能从事语言文档工作，但无法获得最先进的教学。从长远来看，更多地参与濒危语言的记录工作，将为更多未被记录的濒危语言提供新的知识，每一种语言都提供了关于人类语言和认知的独特信息。这些视频将以YouTube视频的形式上传，并在网上免费提供。它们将包括语言分析工具的信息（转录、线间光泽创建和声学分析）和字典、语法和语料库创建所需的语言分析。专家们还将审查元数据创建和存档的现行标准，以及文献语言学研究的资助机制。

Recent advances in technology have created new methodologies in documenting endangered languages. This project will provide an overview of these advances in video format and will be presented by experts in field. The purpose of the project is to support production of the highest quality of documentary linguistic products and stimulate research in these areas. The primary audience for these outreach videos are linguists or language experts from minority communities who may engage in language documentation but do not have access to state-of-the-art instruction. Over the long term, greater participation in documenting endangered languages will contribute new knowledge of a wider array of under-documented endangered languages each of which provide unique information on human language and cognition.The videos will be uploaded as YouTube videos and will be freely available online. They will include information on tools for language analysis (transcription, interlinear gloss creation, and acoustic analysis) and linguistic analysis needed for dictionary, grammar, and corpus creation. Experts will also review current standards in metadata creation and archiving, and funding mechanisms for documentary linguistic research.
