<em>Description</em></a></p><hr /><br /><b>Descripción</b><br
/><p>There are currently around 7.000 languages spoken all over the
world - but each month a language dies. In general we see a strong
tendency to learn and use only the major languages such as English,
German, French, etc., especially in electronic communication. This is
partly caused by the lack of hardware (e.g. keyboards) and software
(for transliteration, text completion, etc.) for under-resourced
languages, which constrain the natural usage of people's own language
in many tasks. The Summer School "Coding for Language Communities" is
about ongoing research and development to turn that process in exactly
the other direction: every successful technology can also be used to
teach, revitalize and therefore boost the use of regional languages.
This technology should also assist the renewal of local languages and
cultures by allowing people to actively teach, learn, extend, and
spread their language in their community. Our aim is to give people
the ability to use their mother tongue in everyday electronic
communication, no matter where they are or what language they
speak.<br /><br />The Summer School "Coding for Language Communites"
aims to bring together three groups:<br />- Speakers of languages that
are currently not supported by language technologies and that want to
use their language on electronic devices;<br />- Students of
linguistics and language-related disciplines interested in learning
about software development;<br />- Software developers and students of
computational sciences that are interested in supporting
under-resourced languages by technological means.<br /><br />During an
exciting and exhausting week we will work together to develop new
software and tools for under-resourced languages. We will create five
interdisciplinary teams to tackle real-world problems in ongoing or
new open source projects. Each team will consist of five members, with
at least one participant of each of the groups mentioned above. Each
team will have an expert as mentor to guide and supervise the
progress, in addition to three senior software developers that will be
available to support all the teams in the implementation of the
solution. At the end of the week there will be prizes for the most
creative solutions. Each day we start with a theoretical talk by one
of the mentors, which complements the practical experience of
developing language technologies as a team within an open source
project.<br /><br />This summer school is the first part of a larger
event. There will be a second summer school the week after this one
about Community-driven Language Documentation (CDLD 2014).<br /><br
/>Mentors<br />Kevin Scannell (Saint Louis University, USA)<br />Bruce
Birch (The Australian National University)<br />Dorothee Beermann
((Saint Louis University, Trondheim)<br />Peter Bouda (CIDLeS)<br
/>other mentors to be announced<br /><br />Application<br />Deadline
for application is May 31st, 2014. The number of participants is
limited to 25. Admission will be based on the track record and a
motivational statement that is part of the application form.<br

/><br />Costs<br />The summer school costs 250 Euros for the whole
week. The fee includes summer school materials, all meals (breakfast,
lunch, dinner) and a place to sleep.<br /><br />We plan to provide
scholarships for students to participate in the summer school. If
possible, the scholarship will cover the fee of 250 Euros and travel
costs up to 1.000 Euros. Describe in the application form why you need
a scholarship.</p><br /><b>Área temática:</b> Lingüística

<clc2014@cidles.eu><br /><br /><b>Programa</b><br /><p>The
summer school will focus on the practical implementation of software
that supports specific language communities. Therefore, a large part
of the summer school will be reserved for working in teams together
with the mentors and experienced software developers. On the first day
we will create the teams and each team will discuss a project to
implement during the week together with its mentor.<br /><br />Each
day will consist of two learning sessions in the morning and practical
team work in the afternoon:<br /><br />09h-11h: Theoretical talk by
one of the mentors. Each mentor will focus on a specific issue in
language technologies and how those technologies can be used to
support under-resourced languages.<br />11h-13h: A workshop about
practical software development. You will learn how open source
software projects are organized, what tools are used by distributed
teams and how programmers and non-programmers collaborate within the
projects.<br />13h-14h: Lunch<br />14h-18h: Team work to implement the
project<br />18h-19h: Dinner<br />19h- Evening activities, free time
or more team work<br /><br />The topics of the learning sessions will
be announced soon!</p><b>Comité organizador</b><br /><p>Vera Ferreira
