This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $449,712 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation to document and analyze endangered language varieties spoken in a linguistically diverse border region as part of the NSF Dynamic Language Infrastructure - NEH Documenting Endangered Languages program (CFDA 47.075, Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences). The award period is from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025.
Under this award, the University of Georgia Research Foundation will create an online, searchable spoken language corpus and open-source pipeline for processing and annotating data from under-resourced language varieties. The corpus interface will be built as a Shiny application to allow for quantitative analysis of language variation and code-switching among multilingual speakers. The interface is designed to facilitate use by non-specialists and make the data accessible to local language communities. This work will contribute to understanding issues of language variation, change, maintenance and shift in contexts of endangered languages in contact.
