grants for textual work

[Claire Bowern]

Or if Lara Croft: Verb Raider isn't quite your style, the NSF's "documenting
endangered languages" program definitely funds this sort of work. Community
participation and materials which would be useful to the community were
seriously taken into account in my application for a very similar type of
project, judging by the reviewers comments. I made a big deal of the fact
that there are so few people with firsthand knowledge of the practices
described in in the texts. There is some information about the grant at
www.ruf.rice.edu/~bowern/ <http://www.ruf.rice.edu/%7Ebowern/> and I would
be happy to share parts of my original application with communities and
linguists who wish to apply for funding for similar projects. (Please
contact me off-list if you'd like a copy.)

MJ- you need to find yourself a pop-culture savvy and photogenic young
linguist able to make televised and print multimedia records of his heroic
whirlwind globetrotting efforts to personally save a sequence of endangered
languages to be the public face of Jaqaru. If good-enough looking, chatty
and personable the dollars should just fly in....
