Endangered Languages and Dictionaries Survey (language)

[Andre Cramblit]

The Endangered Languages and Dictionaries Project at the University of  
Cambridge investigates ways of writing dictionaries that better  
facilitate the maintenance and revitalization of endangered languages.  
It explores the relationship between documenting a language and  
sustaining it, and entails collaboration with linguists, dictionary- 
makers and educators, as well as members of endangered-language  
communities themselves, in order to determine what lexicographic  
methodologies work particularly well pedagogically for language  
maintenance and revitalization.

In addition to developing a methodology for writing dictionaries that  
are more community-focussed and collaborative in their making,  
content, and format, the Project is creating an online catalogue of  
dictionary projects around the world. If you would like your  
dictionary to be included in the catalogue, please fill out the  
Dictionary Survey at http://www.lucy-cav.cam.ac.uk/pages/the-college/people/sarah-ogilvie/elad1.php 
  or contact Sarah Ogilvie at svo21 at cam.ac.uk. We really hope you will  
want to participate, in order to make the catalogue as comprehensive  
as possible.
