Abstract
Description
SSHRC PG awarded 2019: In response to the well-documented threats to Indigenous cultures and languages, this Partnership project will support the revitalization and sustained daily use of multiple Indigenous languages by developing modern technological tools and resources for these languages in collaboration with their respective communities; namely, Plains Cree and Tsuut'ina. Partnerships are with the Maskwacîs Education and Schools Commission (MESC) and the Tsuut'ina Office of the Language Commissioner (TOLC). Our team of documentary and computational linguists, as well as Indigenous communities, will develop a range of essential software resources and applications, including: (1) web-based dictionaries, (2) searchable databases of spoken recordings and written texts, (3) spell checkers, and (4) computer-aided language learning applications.
