[Lexicog] Dictionaries and Endangered Languages

[Jimm GoodTracks]

Ms. Ogilvie:
Yesterday, I took a good bit of time to complete the questionnaire for the Ioway Otoe-Missouria Dictionary (Project) [Báxoje Jiwére-Ñut^achi).  The letter below suggests that the questionnaire still is to be completed, as my narrative yesterday was not received.  Can you confirm what the status of the narrative, that is if it has been received.

Time is too short to have to repeat lengthy narrations.
Sincerely,
Jimm Goodtracks
White Cloud, KS  66094

  Subject: [Lexicog] Dictionaries and Endangered Languages


    

  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.
