<a href="https://www.linguisticsociety.org/content/what-endangered-language" target="_blank">
endangered human languages</a>. DLI-DEL Fellowships support <i>individuals</i> (not institutional or collaborative teams) who are junior or senior linguists, linguistic anthropologists, and sociolinguists who conduct research on endangered or moribund languages.
DLI-DEL Fellowships prioritize scholarly analysis and publication, including but not limited to lexicons, grammars, databases, peer-reviewed articles, and monographs. Awards also support fieldwork and other activities relevant to digital recording, documenting,
and sustainable archiving of <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/416368" target="_blank">
