<DIV id=ygrp-text>
<P>Press Release:<BR><BR>June 30, 2008 <BR><BR>(Santa Barbara, CA, June 18,
2008) – Ekegusi – a language spoken by 1.8 million people in Western Kenya – and
Mandan – a language spoken by Sacajawea, which has just one remaining fluent
speaker – are both in danger of dying out. They are only two of the thousands of
the world's languages that are predicted to disappear before the end of this
century. And along with these languages entire cultures and ways of life may
also be lost. Fighting this trend are linguists, academics who study languages
scientifically, and members of communities who are actively working to stop
their own languages from losing ground to more dominant national or regional
tongues. Over 120 of these linguists and activists will meet at the University
of California, Santa Barbara for two weeks beginning June 23 for "Infield" – the
Institute on Field Linguistics and Language Documentation – to examine
successful models of language preservation and to train participants in
techniques for working<BR>in endangered language communities. At Infield,
language activists from Native American communities across North America will
work with linguists and activists from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Pacific Rim,
including Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Hawaii. They will examine
successful examples of language revitalization and share current techniques for
documenting languages. And in a change from past practice, they will collaborate
as partners in this training. "Infield offers a new way for language activists
and linguists to come together," said Dr. Carol Genetti, Professor of
Linguistics at UC Santa Barbara and organizer of InField. "This institute offers
both groups the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the
perspectives, resources, and goals of the other. This will allow us to develop
more effective partnerships as we work together to preserve this important human
heritage." Some InField participants are members of the language communities
who<BR>are also trained linguists and are working with their elders to preserve
not only their languages, but their customs and traditions. Jenny Davis, a Ph.D.
student in linguistics at the University of Colorado, is a member of the
Chickasaw Nation, which was originally based in the southeastern United States
but was removed to Oklahoma during the early 19th century. Today only 70
Chickasaws, out of some 40,000 members of the tribe, are fluent speakers of
their language. Davis, one of the only linguists working with the Chickasaws and
the only member of the tribe with linguistics training, is active in efforts to
revitalize the Chickasaw language. Her community has recently begun a
"Master/Apprentice" program, which pairs native speakers with younger members of
the tribe, who agree to speak Chickasaw for a minimum of 10 hours per week. "The
Chickasaw nation now employs two fluent speakers as ‘Masters' who are resources
for our community," said Davis. "The ‘Masters' receive<BR>a subsidy from the
tribe in recognition of their service to the Nation, and they mentor neighbors,
members of their own families or work colleagues." The program complements
efforts to teach young children Chickasaw in pre-schools and Head Start, and the
tribe is working to open an immersion school as well. The Master/Apprentice
approach was developed by Leanne Hinton, Professor Emeritus of Linguistics at UC
Berkeley. At InField, Hinton will discuss this approach as well as the "Breath
of Life" workshop which took place earlier this month and focused on
California's native languages. The experience of revitalizing Samala, one of six
languages spoken by the Chumash, the native people of Central and Southern
California, will be shared at InField by Dr. Richard Applegate. Earlier this
year Dr. Applegate completed a 4,000 word dictionary of Samala, which is spoken
by the Santa Ynez branch of the Chumash. Dr. Applegate has been working with the
Santa Ynez Chumash for<BR>the past five years to develop a language program, and
has appointed five "apprentices" who teach Samala words to their own children
and other members of the tribe. Professor Larry Kimura of the University of
Hawaii will present the story of how Hawaiian was brought back from near
extinction. In a state where until 1987, it was against state law to teach
Hawaiian in the public schools, except as a foreign language, students may now
pursue Hawaiian-medium studies up to the level of a Master's degree. Other
models being presented at InField will show how modern technology can be used to
document and revitalize languages. In addition to techniques in audio and video
recording, and data management, participants will learn how to use the Internet
and "wikis" (websites that can be edited collectively) as tools. Professor
Shobhana Chelliah of the University of North Texas, who documents minority and
endangered languages of Northeast India, said that "… the internet is<BR>going
to be the safest and most efficient way for me to keep in touch with … the
politically troubled Northeast Indian region." Dr. Te Taka Keegan, a Maori from
New Zealand who was trained as a computer scientist, will present his work in
developing Maori language software. Jeanne LaVerne, who is a Hopi Indian and has
a Ph.D. in linguistics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wants to
develop a Hopi database that can be more easily accessed and updated. The
coordinators of the Ekegusi Encyclopedic Project, from Kenya, are working to
document their language before it is eroded by migration and the younger
generation's preference for English or Kiswahili, which are taught in the school
system. Kennedy Bosire and Gladys Machogu are researching an encyclopedic
Ekegusii- English dictionary, which currently has 30,000 words translated into
English, and includes pictures of plants, animals, birds, insects, and physical
features. Along with the language, says<BR>Machogu, the project is researching
and compiling data on the traditions of the Ekegusi community - including the
naming and raising of children, marriage, health and medicine, and religion and
socio-economic activities. This is increasingly difficult since the older
generation is aging and dying. The Ekegusi activists are working to preserve
their language while there are still large numbers of speakers, although they
are ageing. On the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota, Edwin
Benson, age 75, is the last remaining fluent speaker of Mandan, the language
spoken by Sacajawea, Lewis and Clark's young Indian guide. Alyce Spotted Bear,
an educator, activist and leader of the Mandan tribe who will be attending
InField, reports that children learn vocabulary from "Uncle Edwin" in the Twin
Buttes Elementary School, and a few people meet weekly to try and learn the
language. There is great urgency to learn and document the language while the
last speaker is<BR>still alive. Another group of activists attending InField are
members of the Lakota and Dakota tribes of North and South Dakota who are also
linguistics students. The members of this group, students of Professor David
Rood of at the University of Colorado at Boulder, are enrolled in a Master's
degree program in which they are studying linguistics and ethnographic
videography. They will be able to serve as language resources for their own
tribes. The program is supported by the National Science Foundation as part of
its Documenting Endangered Languages project. For two weeks, from June 23 to
July 3, InField will present a course of workshops on language documentation,
maintenance, and revitalization. . This will be followed by a four-week session
of field training from July 7 to August 1. This intensive course is similar to a
doctoral course on linguistic field methods, where students will utilize the
skills taught in the workshops. In addition to technical work,<BR>participants
may learn about moral, ethical, and practical issues of working within foreign
speech communities. Other participants from North America include activists from
diverse communities: White Mountain Apache (Arizona); Kwak'wala (Northern
Vancouver Island); Seneca (New York State and Canada); Cheyenne (Montana); Karuk
(Northern California; Central Pomo (Mendocino County, California); and Algonquin
(Western Quebec and Eastern Ontario) Also taking part will be speakers and
scholars of Ese Eja (Bolivia and Peru); Baram and Bhujel (Nepal); Lamkang and
Haroti (India); Banda, Krim and Bom' (West and Central Africa); Kiong and Ibani
(Nigeria); and Jambi and Papuan Malay (Indonesia). InField is funded in part by
the Documenting Endangered Languages program, co-funded by the National Science
Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Further information is

Note: The<BR>workshops for InField will take place June 23-July 3 at various
locations on the UC Santa Barbara campus. Each day there will be a plenary
session focusing on specific language models: Hawaiian language revitalization,
Australian Language Centres, Seneca, Chumash, Manx Gaelic, Indonesian, Maori,
and the "Breath of Life" workshop on Californian native languages. These will
take place in the McCune Conference Room of the Humanities and Social Sciences
Building. <A
