[etnolinguistica] Lembrete: Bolsa, Foundation for Endangered Languages (Prazo final: 31/Jan)

[Eduardo Rivail Ribeiro]

The Foundation for Endangered Languages is now accepting proposals for
projects of work that will support, enable or assist the documentation,
protection or promotion of one or more endangered languages.

There is a form that defines the content of appropriate proposals, which
is accessible at the Foundation's website:

                    http://www.ogmios.org

It may also be obtained from:

                    Blair A. Rudes
                    Applied Linguistics Program
                    Department of English
                    University of North Carolina at Charlotte
                    9201 University City Boulevard

                    (BARudes at email.uncc.edu)
                    Fax: +1-704-687-3961

All proposals must be submitted in this form to ensure comparability.
The deadline for receipt of proposals for the current round will be
January 31, 2003.  The review committee will announce its decision
before March 31.

Three points to note:

* The Foundation's funds are extremely limited and it is not anticipated
that any award will be greater than US $1,000.  Smaller proposals stand
a better chance of funding.

* Where possible, work undertaken within endangered language communities
themselves will be preferred.

* The Foundation for Endangered Languages (FEL) is separate from the
Endangered Language Fund (ELF) (www.haskins.yale.edu).  It is perfectly
possible (and has indeed occurred in the past) that the same project can
be partially funded by both FEL and ELF.

FEL awarded the following grants in 2002:

--Elena Perekhvalskaya (Russia): $700 for the collection of oral
histories and biographies on audio/video, in Udihe, a Tungusic language

outline, texts, videos of performance for the Anyimere language, a
Niger-Congo language with some 60-70 speakers.

of the Mayan language Lacandn in Mexico.  There are about 500 Lacand n
speakers.
