Much documentation like this had been carried out already during the 18th and especially the 19th century, and the results are still useful for linguists today. Pay attention to the types of information provided (descriptions of speakers, culture, geography, sound or text resources in the language). For example, the basic type of data for a phonetician will usually be acoustic data derived from a sound file together with its transcriptions while the accompanying metadata may include various types of information about the speakers (such as their sex, age, region and community of origin, health condition, social and family status), recording conditions (environment, background noises), technical properties (equipment, software, quality), authors(s), etc. Before choosing from many available types of audio recorders, photo and video cameras, recorders or microphones, you should consider their parameters and prices as related to your specific needs. The documenters need to carefully consider maintaining good relations with the members of local communities, both during the design stage, the proper recordings, and afterwards, when the data are analysed, systematized and processed. Two main types of microphones are distinguished according to their construction: dynamic and condenser microphones. For instance, with some data, you will be asked to contact its authors or contributors in order to get permission, and in other cases you may have to explain the purpose for which you want to use the data before you get permission to download. Today, documentary linguistics is a new, ‘hot’ branch of linguistics where researchers with very different profiles and interests are working together: some travel to remote places of the world to collect data from lesser known and endangered languages, others think of new ways to process and store huge amounts of multimedia data, still others use language documentations for revitalizing endangered languages, for example, by preparing dictionaries and teaching materials. This often leads to an unnatural use of the language that is to be documented. Such solutions are often chosen for corpora or dictionaries dedicated for the use of both scientists and for local communities. What were the main aims of the project? List of all languages referred to in the Book of Knowledge and other sections of the website. 0000006712 00000 n One of the most important archives for endangered languages is the DOBES (Dokumentation Bedrohter Sprachen) archive dobes.mpi.nl/ – an Internet database of complex documentation for many endangered languages. Researchers interested in a special topic (numerals, colour terms, names of animals or plants, words for body parts, prepositions, etc.) In 2008, two American linguists active in documenting endangered languages made a film where they show how interesting, sometimes how dramatic and sometimes how funny their work can be [2]. Another example is a ready-to-use Field Manuals collection [12] where you can find pictures for eliciting vocabulary related to location of objects in space such as those shown in the picture below [13]. However, smaller, less studied and especially endangered languages also provide special challenges – first and foremost with respect to the amount of available data. The Go Memory Model. [9] Campbell, N. (2002). Furthermore, it does not have a written tradition, so in this case the text of the recording was not read in Halcnovian, but translated from a model written in Polish. You will find there some details about data formats and structures, sharing and exchanging information, plus some more examples concerning the design and development of language resources. DOBES is a program that has financed many language documentation projects since 2000. several months). “Paralingua – a new speech corpus for the studies of paralinguistic features”, in Vargas-Sierra, Ch. Condenser microphones are often used in radio and TV studios, they are characterized by higher sensitivity and can capture a variety of complex sounds, including subtle background noises. Language documentation thus faces a compromise between quality control and natural environment requirements. As discussed above, language documentation assumes not only a description of particular elements of grammar and vocabulary, but its central issue is documenting the language in its natural environment, including the characteristics of the speakers, their mutual relationships and the situation in which they live. A communicative event includes more than speech, and to understand what is going on we also need information, for example, about gestures, face expressions, the broader situational context, the presence of third parties, or artefacts used at the time of the recording. Moreover, people can make their data available to a wide audience practically at any moment. Welcome to the Dart documentation! – Is it all right for a stranger to walk around, take pictures of houses and sacral places and record people’s speech? Many of these languages do not have a written tradition and written data may be completely unavailable or sparse, the languages are not used in the media, or their speakers do not use the Internet (and if they do, they often use another language). the functions and roles of speakers within a community). Studio recording environment: recordings in an anechoic chamber, the Laboratory team at work, equipment (the Laboratory of the Psycholinguistics Department, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, photos: Agnieszka Czoska (left, middle), Maciej Karpiński (right)). [5] Lüpke, F. (2010). Useful links. When we consider that language documenters often need to travel a lot in order to collect their data and then they have to safely store, process, and share that data, we can easily understand a strong link between language documentation and technology. Learn everything you need to know in this tutorial. (Eds.). – It is always better to ask first before doing such things. If one wants to document what speakers know about their language, it is of course also possible to ask them directly (though this can never be the only or the main method of gathering data). Choose three of the projects and try to answer the following questions: An interesting example of a website dedicated to language diversity and endangered languages, including support for indigenous people, where you can also learn about collecting, digitizing and describing data is the SOROSORO program’s website Over the centuries, people have developed various ways of transmitting knowledge from generation to generation based on oral tradition (oral culture) and written texts. There are 4,000 to 4,500 languages spoken in the world (Simons 2018). Briefly speaking, metadata can be defined as data describing other data or even simpler: data about data. [22] SAMPA Alphabet: http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/ Software documentation is written text or illustration that accompanies computer software or is embedded in the source code. The trailer is also on YouTube here. Language documentation as a field of study, rather than simply a means of collecting data, has gained legitimacy within linguistics, as evidenced by increasing attention within graduate programs, conferences, and publications. Arduino programming language can be divided in three main parts: functions, values (variables and constants), and structure. (Ed), Corpus Resources for Descriptive and Applied Studies. Select a language or platform, then choose its Quick start. However, as you can imagine, communication in front of TV cameras, lights, and microphones is quite specific and not always suitable for documentation or research needs. – for annotation of audio and video files: – for annotation and phonetic analysis of audio files (include spectrograms): What is language documentation, how is it done and why is it important? Remember that you will probably wish to sort your files by names. Is it legal to record your own telephone conversation with another person? Handbook of standards and resources for spoken language systems. As defined above, language documentation comprises the activities of collection, processing and archiving of linguistic data. Apart from providing information and data, both of these archives offer the possibility of depositing and storing your own data on their servers. Keeping this information can be very useful in case you or someone else would like to go back to the very first version of the data. Thanks to technological developments the work on data has gained an unprecedented efficiency and speed. The syntax and naming of the Arduino language commands actually came before the hardware. A method half-way between collecting spontaneous speech and eliciting data after a fixed scheme is to set up a certain scenario for a dialogue between two speakers of the language to be documented. 0000006109 00000 n If documentation is based solely on such material, the range of vocabulary and constructions is always a matter of chance. [8] Kiel Corpus of spoken language http://www.isfas.uni-kiel.de/de/linguistik/forschung/das_kiel_korpus During the research, he tested the language concepts with students of various programs: the language had to be abstract and simple enough for artists and designers as well as engineers. and storing (archiving) data. Such recordings are especially valuable for subtle analyses of the sound system of a language, and that is why anechoic chambers are usually situated in departments of phonetics at universities and research laboratories (see an example list of such laboratories and departments here). All condenser microphones require an additional power source which may be a disadvantage in the case of fieldwork. The interested reader can read more about data, corpora and databases in Appendix 2 to this chapter. The goals of informing and sharing knowledge about endangered languages around the world are also pursued by the Endangered Languages project [25]. Suggest corrections and new documentation via GitHub. This brings in the possibility of speaking about a language in this particular language instead of using a third language for descriptions. [15] Klessa, K., Wagner, A., Oleśkowicz-Popiel, M., Karpiński, M. (2013). Speakers who are recorded (even in a very friendly environment) usually pay more attention to their way of speaking and consequently modify their linguistic behaviour: their speech can change in a quite unpredicted way. 187-207. In case of description of audio data, the tasks include annotation of the recordings, i.e. � �h�� &%%����8 4s�`H�pb%%����`(��K���@&AU�)% f �� c(�B� � dE0�x�E�X ,�� �Ͱ�!���#f5�����0�1�d��d��ɤ�d���Ǹu�5Ɨ�\6��b0c�ΐ��������$��Q���*2���?\z PHP-GTK related documentation is hosted on the PHP-GTK website. Linguistics 36:161-195. However, the three steps are more intertwined. As important as the documentation of linguistic behaviour in a natural setting is, it is often not enough to get a comprehensive picture of the language. Adding features like auto complete, go to definition, or documentation on hover for a programming language takes significant effort. The same set of source (or “raw”) data, when properly constructed, can serve as a resource for various types of analyses conducted by researchers specializing in a wide range of fields such as: linguistics, cultural studies, sociology, psychology, history or geography. Documenting communicative behaviour and language in use, Example on-line archives for endangered languages, Appendices: More about the history of sound recording, data formats and structures. For example, first we record words, than we translate and analyse them, and the result, for example in form of a word list or a small dictionary, is stored in print or electronic form. Many experiment set‑ups have been designed with a view to obtain data on varying speaking styles and levels of spontaneity. Please pick a language from the list below. Can you think of a small language or dialect in your region? you need to travel by plane to the destination region, your task is to document a language spoken in a couple of villages, not very distant from one another, and you will use a bicycle to travel between them (carrying your equipment), you will have a limited access to the Internet and will need to 1) backup your data in the meantime, 2) occasionally send samples of your data via a slow Internet connection. Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) is the name for a set of technologies based on the integration of query capabilities directly into the C# language. It’s part of the Quantum Development Kit (QDK), which includes Q# libraries, quantum simulators, extensions for other programming environments, and API documentation. DOBES is maintained within the Language Archive (TLA) located at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen. There may be overlapping – for example, transcribing (writing down) spoken data can be considered an instance both of collecting and of processing of data, and even as a kind of archiving. Here are some of this site’s most visited pages: Language Understanding (LUIS) is a cloud-based conversational AI service that applies custom machine-learning intelligence to a user's conversational, natural language text to predict overall meaning, and pull out relevant, detailed information. An example multilayer annotation of an audio file (Annotation Pro). Users of such a multipurpose documentation would include the speech community itself, national and international agencies concerned with education and language … xref Generally the docs for such a language is the parser source - since the implementer of the language is often the main user – Martin Beckett May 14 '12 at 4:28 2 @DanMcGrath Well, yes, knowing the audience and level / volume of existing documentation would affect how I would write a reference manual. x�b```�hV�~a��1�0pL`�``hadKNr`�a�`4���U�\Y{��5?,o�m���p�(c'��O�#�Z@M!

The official home of the Python Programming Language. If you want to document one of the larger languages such as English, Chinese, German, Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, etc., you can rely on already existing data and quite easily find samples of written and spoken language from which you could build up your documentation: books, newspapers and other written documents from the past and the present, many of these already digitalized, television and radio shows that can be recorded or simply downloaded from the Internet, language used in Internet forums and other social media, and many more. For example, it can become more/less formal, more/less polite or politically correct which can be manifested by changes in phonetic-acoustic parameters such tempo, intonation, intensity, timing patterns, pausing schemes, and others. Analog 12-inch record (photo: Maciej Karpiński). 0000000776 00000 n This practice can often lead to more concern for the revitalization of a specific language on study. Documenting endangered languages. As an illustration, you can listen to a recent recording (2013) here and look at the transcript and translations of a fairy tale first documented in 1895 by S. Ulanowska [6]. Microphones can be embedded in various types of devices (such as portable recorders) or used externally, and connected with cables. UNESCO’s “Levels of endangerment” discussed in Chapter 8 of the Book of Knowledge). If you are interested in how the documentation is edited and translated, you should read the Documentation HOWTO. A variety of condenser microphones is also used in cellular phones and the cheapest recorders but these are built with a different technology and their quality is incomparably worse than that in the more expensive models. We will particularly focus on endangered languages and on the possible reasons why they should be dealt with in a special way. In other words: if you have access to an endangered language (for example, a dialect your grandmother speaks), you may of course just make a quick recording with your smartphone and put it onto YouTube or other website (and if you surf the Internet you will see that many people do just that) – but this is not how professional language documentation is done. In case when you wish to perform some more detailed phonetic analyses it is useful to choose a tool including a spectrogram to display your sound files (see Chapter 4, especially the section on visible speech). [1] Seifart, F. (2011). A doc comment is any comment that appearsbefore a declaration and uses the special ///syntax that dartdoc looks for. [4] Himmelmann, N. P. (2006). In Language Documentation & Conservation Vol. Find Teop on the Interactive Map where you can listen and learn more about the language and the recordings you heard in the exercise above! Its postgraduate programmes in Language Documentation and Description aim to train new generations of linguists to document and support endangered languages. However, together with this great potential, new challenges and questions emerge. When you already contacted the speakers of the language to be documented, it is a good practice (and often a duty (read also about some legal and ethical problems) to ask for their formal agreement to the recordings, and to take care of their positive attitude and willingness to participate. In such cases, linguists must start from scratch and collect as much data as possible by recording speakers of a given language. An interesting example is also the JST/CREST database of spontaneous and expressive speech [9].

Otherwise, you may wish to name your files only with unique ID numbers and include information about the contents in additional information files. GTP – grapheme-to-phoneme converters automatically transforming orthographic texts to phonetic transcriptions, ASR – automatic speech recognition tools). The influencing factors can be the type of recording scenario, recording modalities (audio/video), the location for the recording session (“session” is a term usually used to name all the recorded events) as well as the characteristics of speakers such as age, sex, social status, etc. Competing motivations for documenting endangered languages. ... What's new with the service and documentation; Plan your app with intents and entities. Making such plans is already a preparation to data analysis because afterwards it will help you to classify and describe your data. Language revitalization is also closely tied to the linguistic field of language documentation. Learn about key gRPC concepts, try a quick start, find tutorials and reference material for all supported languages and platforms: New to gRPC? Traditionally this work must be repeated for each development tool, as each provides different APIs for implementing the same features. Although phonetic alphabets are most suitable for transcribing speech, it is worth noting that in certain cases it might be preferable to use transliteration (writing the text in one alphabet with the use of another alphabet, e.g. Mutual location of objects in space. F# documentation. Language Understanding (LUIS) documentation Learn how Language Understanding enables your applications to understand what a person wants in their own words. A document that specifies the conditions under which reads of a variable in one goroutine can be guaranteed to observe values produced by writes to the same variable in a different goroutine. Digital I/O digitalRead() Furthermore, if the same corpus were to be analysed by a culture anthropologist, then the focus would likely shift to the description of family relationships and social information which would consequently be treated as data rather than metadata. The experimenters assumed that after some time speakers would become familiar with the recording equipment to the extent that they would stop paying attention to the fact of being recorded and thus their behaviour would become more (or even fully) spontaneous. [13] Bowerman, M., Pederson, E. (1992). In Haig, G.L.J., Nau, N., Schnell, S., Wegener, C. 0000001519 00000 n elicitation (elicitation is a term frequently used to designate the collecting of desired types of data directly from speakers, according to a previously designed scenario rather than using only what is available at the moment). Dynamic microphones are also commonly used by singers during live concerts, while condenser microphones are usually used for recording vocals in an anechoic chamber. A step usually following data collection is creating a backup copy of the data in the original form, without any modifications. [16] IPA Handbook: https://www.langsci.ucl.ac.uk/ipa/handbook.html Language Documentation and Description, 7, 55-104. [� – Document a language or dialect. In our example, the phonetician could treat the region of origin as data and not as metadata in case when he/she wanted to study regional variations of pronunciation. Consider creating 2 copies of the consent form for yourself and for the participant. Linguists who are primarily interested in the sounds of language and not in collecting new words or constructions may also ask speakers to read aloud prepared and specially designed lists of words or short texts. [24] The SOROSORO program’s website http://www.sorosoro.org/ Himmelmann’s central argument that language documentation should “be conceived of as a fairly independent field of linguistic inquiry and practice” has prompted major theoretical and practical shifts, helping to establish documentary linguistics as a genuine subfield of linguistics. Documentation; Get Involved; Help; Getting Started Introduction A simple tutorial Language Reference Basic syntax Types Variables Constants Expressions Operators Control Structures Functions Classes and Objects ... (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into … Doc comments are especially handy because dartdoc parses them and generatesbeautiful doc pages from them. – Document a language or dialect. CRAN has a growing list of contributed documentation in a variety of languages. The idea behind a Language Serveris to provide the language-specific smarts inside a server that can communicate with development tooling over a protocol that enables inter-process communication. 3. ), Trends in Linguistics, Studies and Monographs 178:1-30. 0000007861 00000 n An exception is the sounds of language, since it was impossible to preserve the sound of speech of our ancestors until not fairly recently: the first recordings of a human voice that we can listen to are dated only to the second half of 19th century and are therefore very ‘young’ compared to the most ancient written documents reaching back many centuries in the past. In this field, linguists attempt to create full records of a language's grammar, vocabulary, and linguistic features. Dynamic microphones can be used without any additional source of power which makes their usage simpler. Search the Internet and try to find answers that are true for your country: In practice, speakers are asked to give separate consent to the participation in the recordings, the use of the recording for particular purposes, and last but not least – the publication of the recordings. 0000001393 00000 n [20] Gibbon, D., Moore, R., & Winski, R. What is the relationship between revitalization and documentation? [19] DOBES – Deposit your data section: http://dobes.mpi.nl/deposit-your-data/ Maybe you can find other similar websites? An example for such a text is Aesop’s fable: The North Wind and the Sun commonly used by phoneticians and phonologists to illustrate the sound of languages (cf. Remember the signatures! The documentation of endangered languages is an especially important and urgent task if we want to at least preserve some of the wealth that these languages possess and that otherwise will soon be gone forever. The field of language documentation in the modern context involves a complex and ever-evolving set of tools and methods, and the study and development of their use - and, especially, identification and promotion of best practices - can be considered a sub-field of language documentation proper. Ideally, language documentation contains representative samples from different speakers – representing different age groups, different professions, of both sexes, and different origins –, but in the case of endangered languages this may not be possible, because the number of speakers is too small and/or there are only elder speakers. Documentation is an important part of software engineering. To find out more about issues related to language documentation see two appendices to this chapter: References What kind of data was collected? This is because speakers always know much more of and about their language than they show in their linguistic behaviour. Have you heard of any recordings, videos, TV programmes or books about or in that language? 0000004252 00000 n time-aligned transcription of the utterances so that one can afterwards follow the transcribed text and listen to the recording just like in case of film subtitles. This perspective leads to a broader view of what is the object of language documentation. For example, recording telephone conversations (even one’s own) without explicit agreement of all participants is illegal in many countries (e.g. On the other hand, recording speech outside the studio usually means difficulties in achieving good quality, even if we use excellent recording devices. Interested in gRPC feature details? (1997). Implementing support for features like autocomplete, goto definition, or documentation on hover for a programming language is a significant effort. When we sit in a room and chat, we usually don’t pay attention to small background noises, but when we listen to a recording of that conversation we suddenly discover that there was a clock ticking or a fridge buzzing! For documenting basic vocabulary, the Swadesh list is often used (see: Swadesh lists given in Chapter 2). However, legal solutions may vary between countries. This is related to the so called Observer’s Paradox. Another example of a noteworthy archive for endangered languages is the ELAR [23] at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies, London), also specialising in preserving and publishing endangered language documentation. First think of your answers and then go to section What can you do – Become a linguist and see working examples of young people doing documentary work. Data description usually is a multi-task process. The Internet is abundant in various types of information. �룛.��Up�Z� R� The website was created for the use of both researchers and native speakers of the languages or any other interested persons. Think of 2 or 3 recording locations and scenarios for a recording session. www.pbs.org/thelinguists [25] Endangered Languages website: http://www.endangeredlanguages.com/ Furthermore, the task of documentation is often taken on with the goal of … Doubts on how to use Github? Start with the following pages: Introduction to gRPC; Core concepts, architecture and lifecycle; FAQ; Eager to see gRPC in action? trailer (see Chapter 2 and Chapter 4). 0000009104 00000 n [7] Labov, W. (1972). For example, when researchers are interested in the sound system of a language, they will probably first collect a small sample, then do some preliminary analysis in order to learn about the basic phonetic rules, and then collect more data more purposefully. (on-line e.g. 2. 0000000016 00000 n Imagine that you have learned about an endangered local dialect and you would like to become involved in documenting the dialect and/or its revitalisation. Endangered languages are often spoken by small communities, where the family and other social relationships may play even bigger role than in larger and thus much more diversified language communities. What is the Language Server Protocol? Linguistic Data Types and the Interface between Language Documentation and Description. Developer resources for LUIS. [14] The Pear Story: http://www.pearstories.org/docu/ThePearStories.htm Try one of the following: … Researchers interested in phonetics may also have different expectations concerning the kind of data collected and the way it should be archived than researchers with a primary interest in cultural traditions.
