They are characterized by a lower sensitivity as compared to the condenser microphones (which can actually be an advantage when the recording session takes place in a noisy environment) and are very useful for speech recordings, especially when the speaker speaks directly to the microphone, from a close distance. The same affects the choice of archiving methods and the ways of sharing the data. However, today we feel that something is missing in these older documentations, something that was difficult or impossible to document in an area where the only means of documenting was writing and drawing. [16] IPA Handbook: https://www.langsci.ucl.ac.uk/ipa/handbook.html Is it legal to record your own telephone conversation with another person? Endangered languages are often spoken by small communities, where the family and other social relationships may play even bigger role than in larger and thus much more diversified language communities. 0000002636 00000 n
the functions and roles of speakers within a community). The documenters need to carefully consider maintaining good relations with the members of local communities, both during the design stage, the proper recordings, and afterwards, when the data are analysed, systematized and processed.

We will particularly focus on endangered languages and on the possible reasons why they should be dealt with in a special way. For instance, with some data, you will be asked to contact its authors or contributors in order to get permission, and in other cases you may have to explain the purpose for which you want to use the data before you get permission to download. Because of this, it is nowadays possible to track back and explore even quite distant history, as well as the history of language. As an illustration, you can listen to a recent recording (2013) here and look at the transcript and translations of a fairy tale first documented in 1895 by S. Ulanowska [6]. Another useful step to be done in advance is to decide about ways to organize your data, e.g. Some data is publicly available for anyone while for others various limitations may apply. 3. Language documentation thus faces a compromise between quality control and natural environment requirements. Note: there might be many competing scenarios. Finding similar tools for endangered languages is more difficult although not completely impossible (see Chapter 4, the section on: Less widely used languages and technology). The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) [21] enables a detailed phonetic transcription of speech. What Can you do? Users of such a multipurpose documentation would include the speech community itself, national and international agencies concerned with education and language … In the latter case, the critical parameters are its size and weight but also the power supply solutions, the availability and type of batteries, charging options, the shake resistance etc. A method half-way between collecting spontaneous speech and eliciting data after a fixed scheme is to set up a certain scenario for a dialogue between two speakers of the language to be documented. Think of the elements that should be included in the names of files or folders. In other recordings there may be no single numeral, but maybe many words for colours, and so on. Using translation as a method for elicitation however has many drawbacks. 0000010137 00000 n
Doc comments are especially handy because dartdoc parses them and generatesbeautiful doc pages from them. [9] Campbell, N. (2002). Language Understanding (LUIS) documentation Learn how Language Understanding enables your applications to understand what a person wants in their own words. An example multilayer annotation of a video file (Elan). When we consider that language documenters often need to travel a lot in order to collect their data and then they have to safely store, process, and share that data, we can easily understand a strong link between language documentation and technology. In our example, the phonetician could treat the region of origin as data and not as metadata in case when he/she wanted to study regional variations of pronunciation. One of the main restrictions of using and sharing linguistic resources may be related to the protection of private data. Studio recording environment: recordings in an anechoic chamber, the Laboratory team at work, equipment (the Laboratory of the Psycholinguistics Department, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, photos: Agnieszka Czoska (left, middle), Maciej Karpiński (right)). A language documentation broadly conceived along these lines could serve a large variety of different uses in, for example, language planning decisions, preparing educational materials, or analyzing a set of problems in syntactic theory. To find out more about issues related to language documentation see two appendices to this chapter: References Consider the environment and the number of speakers. What kind of data was collected? The experimenters assumed that after some time speakers would become familiar with the recording equipment to the extent that they would stop paying attention to the fact of being recorded and thus their behaviour would become more (or even fully) spontaneous. A list of books and other publications related to R. 4. In Stephen C. Levinson (ed. Dynamic microphones can be used without any additional source of power which makes their usage simpler. For controlling the Arduino board and performing computations. Linguists who are primarily interested in the sounds of language and not in collecting new words or constructions may also ask speakers to read aloud prepared and specially designed lists of words or short texts. (on-line e.g. GTP – grapheme-to-phoneme converters automatically transforming orthographic texts to phonetic transcriptions, ASR – automatic speech recognition tools). Traditionally this work must be repeated for each development tool, as each provides different APIs for implementing the same features. ��4�L�6=�c����FG���8��4e�*�\N What kind of problems (if any) can you see? As defined above, language documentation comprises the activities of collection, processing and archiving of linguistic data. Having said that, documentary linguistics is not only concerned with endangered languages, and many issues, for example, issues concerning recording speech, transcribing spoken data, or building corpora, are the same for all languages. – Document a language or dialect. References When looking at the technical quality we must yet admit that the best recordings can be obtained in an anechoic chamber of a recording studio rather than in the language’s natural environment. Types of documentation include: Requirements – Statements that identify … [15] Klessa, K., Wagner, A., Oleśkowicz-Popiel, M., Karpiński, M. (2013). – for annotation of audio and video files: – for annotation and phonetic analysis of audio files (include spectrograms): What is language documentation, how is it done and why is it important?

Find information about this film (“The Linguists”) and additional materials on their website! Another problem might be the simple lack of a (commonly known) written form of the language making it impossible to design a reading task. Ideally, language documentation contains representative samples from different speakers – representing different age groups, different professions, of both sexes, and different origins –, but in the case of endangered languages this may not be possible, because the number of speakers is too small and/or there are only elder speakers. Documenting communicative behaviour and language in use, Example on-line archives for endangered languages, Appendices: More about the history of sound recording, data formats and structures. [6b] Poland’s Linguistic Heritage website (Halcnovian recording): inne-jezyki.amu.edu.pl/Frontend/TextSource/Details/40 In addition to the manuals, FAQs, the R Journal and its predecessor R News, the following sites may be of interest to R users: 1. Thus, language documentation fieldwork is often a lengthy process during which documenters need to travel, establish new contacts, integrate with the local community, become familiar with their customs, habits, and culture, before they can begin the actual work. Briefly speaking, metadata can be defined as data describing other data or even simpler: data about data. What were the main aims of the project? For example, it can become more/less formal, more/less polite or politically correct which can be manifested by changes in phonetic-acoustic parameters such tempo, intonation, intensity, timing patterns, pausing schemes, and others. Himmelmann’s central argument that language documentation should “be conceived of as a fairly independent field of linguistic inquiry and practice” has prompted major theoretical and practical shifts, helping to establish documentary linguistics as a genuine subfield of linguistics. (Ed), Corpus Resources for Descriptive and Applied Studies. Most frequently, the consent is prepared in a written form (in case of audio recordings it may also be expressed verbally and recorded together with the remaining data). Note, that many languages are just under translation, and the untranslated parts are still in English. Handbook of the International Phonetic Association Please pick a language from the list below. Documentation. Language documentation as a field of study, rather than simply a means of collecting data, has gained legitimacy within linguistics, as evidenced by increasing attention within graduate programs, conferences, and publications. In this field, linguists attempt to create full records of a language's grammar, vocabulary, and linguistic features. An important issue apart from the number of speakers and amount of data concerns the communication between the linguists or other researchers who want to document a language, and the language community. The documentation for JDK 14 includes developer guides, API documentation, and release notes. The official Go Language specification. A document that specifies the conditions under which reads of a variable in one goroutine can be guaranteed to observe values produced by writes to the same variable in a different goroutine. Was the search task easy? Some of the suggested reasons are listed in the box below. This is because speakers always know much more of and about their language than they show in their linguistic behaviour. Some years ago, when a standard recording device was quite a weighty and sizeable machine, the task of a documenter was much more challenging than today, when you can carry a high quality audio or video recorder in your pocket. In case of description of audio data, the tasks include annotation of the recordings, i.e. Until about the middle of the 20th century, the idea most linguists had of language documentation was a dictionary, a grammar, and a collection of texts, preferably fairy tales or other narrative texts. Another example is a ready-to-use Field Manuals collection [12] where you can find pictures for eliciting vocabulary related to location of objects in space such as those shown in the picture below [13]. It should be taken into account, however, that not all pictures are universal and some of them cannot be useful because of cultural differences (e.g. In this chapter, we will look at issues related to the preservation and use of information about languages. Is it legal to use (e.g. Many experiment set‑ups have been designed with a view to obtain data on varying speaking styles and levels of spontaneity. Python's documentation, tutorials, and guides are constantly evolving. By definition, it is practically impossible to capture most real communicative events in an artificial surrounding of a studio. Reduce the need for users and developers of a system to consult secondary documentation sources such as code comments or software manuals ... Self-documenting code is ostensibly written using human-readable names, typically consisting of a phrase in a human language which reflects the symbol's meaning, such as article.numberOfWords or TryOpen. As important as the documentation of linguistic behaviour in a natural setting is, it is often not enough to get a comprehensive picture of the language.

[13] Bowerman, M., Pederson, E. (1992). The attitude of the local community can be really crucial in such case, and their rules and internal laws have to be taken into account. fieldmanuals.mpi.nl/volumes/2003-1/body-colouring-task, http://ifl.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de/fileadmin/linguistik/asw/pdf/Publis/1998a.pdf, inne-jezyki.amu.edu.pl/Frontend/TextSource/Details/40, http://www.isfas.uni-kiel.de/de/linguistik/forschung/das_kiel_korpus, http://www.pearstories.org/docu/ThePearStories.htm, https://www.langsci.ucl.ac.uk/ipa/handbook.html, http://www.alaska.org/detail/russian-old-believer-communities, http://www.langsci.ucl.ac.uk/ipa/ipachart.html, http://sourceforge.net/projects/wavesurfer/.

Without wanting to, they may act in a way that is considered impolite or patronizing to the community. xref
[18] DOBES Project: http://dobes.mpi.nl/ Useful links. Language Documentation Language documentation seeks to capture and preserve the linguistic practices of a language community with audio and video recordings. An example multilayer annotation of an audio file (Annotation Pro). Example TPRS (Topological Relations Picture Series, Bowerman et al., 1992, the complete source set of pictures at: fieldmanuals.mpi.nl/volumes/1992/topological-relations-picture-series/). Another drawback concerns the metadata – it may be difficult to keep track of all the conditions of the recorded speech event (participants, context, etc.). For example, one part of the Kiel Corpus of spoken language [8] was created by giving two speakers a different time table each and asking them – using a fake telephone line – to make an appointment that would fit both. [16]). Such recordings are especially valuable for subtle analyses of the sound system of a language, and that is why anechoic chambers are usually situated in departments of phonetics at universities and research laboratories (see an example list of such laboratories and departments here). Useful links. Traditionally, queries against data are expressed as simple strings without type checking at compile time or IntelliSense support. UNESCO’s “Levels of endangerment” discussed in Chapter 8 of the Book of Knowledge). Language Specification. This database consists of several subsets one of which was collected by volunteering speakers wearing small portable recording devices and recording their own spoken communication during their daily activities (home, work, school) for a relatively long period of time (e.g. Find Teop on the Interactive Map where you can listen and learn more about the language and the recordings you heard in the exercise above! Some communities explicitly state that permission has to be granted before pictures are taken (see for example [17]). confirms that s/he voluntarily agrees to participate in the recording session, all modalities of the recording (audio / video), the usage of the data in research studies, DOBES (Dokumentation Bedrohter Sprachen) –, L&C Field Manuals and Stimulus Materials –, SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies) –, Endangered Languages Documentation Programme (ELDP) –. What is the relationship between revitalization and documentation? What is the Language Server Protocol? A variety of condenser microphones is also used in cellular phones and the cheapest recorders but these are built with a different technology and their quality is incomparably worse than that in the more expensive models. Here are some of this site’s most visited pages: This perspective leads to a broader view of what is the object of language documentation. It is therefore always better if the documenting team includes members of the local community. Another consideration is that in order to use the data and especially to publish it, it is usually necessary to obtain formal consent from the speakers recorded. Researchers interested in a special topic (numerals, colour terms, names of animals or plants, words for body parts, prepositions, etc.) The website was created for the use of both researchers and native speakers of the languages or any other interested persons. Implementing support for features like autocomplete, goto definition, or documentation on hover for a programming language is a significant effort. 0000001393 00000 n
When we consider that language documenters often need to travel a lot in order to collect their data and then they have to safely store, process, and share that data, we can easily understand a strong link between language documentation and technology. Among the drivers of this new language of medical documentation are shortcuts such as templates and forms, insurance company rules, practice and hospital administrators (who often miss the big picture – see my blog post Practice transformation is more than checking off boxes), and technology.Perhaps one of the most important drivers is the fact that many people don’t trust … A step usually following data collection is creating a backup copy of the data in the original form, without any modifications. The syntax and naming of the Arduino language commands actually came before the hardware. DOWNLOAD and print out the Book of Knowledge. Although phonetic alphabets are most suitable for transcribing speech, it is worth noting that in certain cases it might be preferable to use transliteration (writing the text in one alphabet with the use of another alphabet, e.g. Start with the following pages: Introduction to gRPC; Core concepts, architecture and lifecycle; FAQ; Eager to see gRPC in action? Digital I/O digitalRead() Select a language or platform, then choose its Quick start. Furthermore, it is often necessary to “look ahead” and already think about possible ways of analysis and archiving from the very beginning, before starting any work. The interested reader can read more about data, corpora and databases in Appendix 2 to this chapter. 0000004522 00000 n
Backup copies can be stored on CD, DVD, blu ray discs, local or remote hard disks or small-sized portable storage media such as pendrives or memory cards. What were the conditions under which this text was recorded? The influencing factors can be the type of recording scenario, recording modalities (audio/video), the location for the recording session (“session” is a term usually used to name all the recorded events) as well as the characteristics of speakers such as age, sex, social status, etc. Less frequent words or structures may not come up at all even when many hours of spontaneous speech are recorded. To explore some of the other existing file formats and standards, see e.g. In the case of endangered or minority languages, the choice of materials is often very limited so almost any type of data might be a source of valuable information. Sociolinguistic Patterns. How were members of the community involved in the project? When you download the pictures usually you also obtain suggested instructions for the recording scenario and terms of use (see for example materials for route description elicitation: fieldmanuals.mpi.nl/volumes/1993/route-description-elicitation/ or a body colouring task: fieldmanuals.mpi.nl/volumes/2003-1/body-colouring-task). [24] The SOROSORO program’s website http://www.sorosoro.org/ Try one of the following: … Pictures and props are also very useful for eliciting grammatical structures, for example, to find out how spatial relations and motion are expressed (how you say things such as The cat is on the map, The cat is climbing the tree, The apple fell from the tree). 0
Choose three of the projects and try to answer the following questions: An interesting example of a website dedicated to language diversity and endangered languages, including support for indigenous people, where you can also learn about collecting, digitizing and describing data is the SOROSORO program’s website In the preliminary definition of language documentation given above in this chapter, we mentioned three elements of language documentation: collecting (recording, taking pictures, gathering written documents, etc. Maybe some of the following: What should be the order of the elements? syntactic structures or phonetic characteristics), another would be interested in social relationships reflected by the material (e.g. In 2008, two American linguists active in documenting endangered languages made a film where they show how interesting, sometimes how dramatic and sometimes how funny their work can be [2]. It is worth remembering, however, that in order to make further analyses and descriptions easier we ought to work on the data thoughtfully and carefully rather than to “(mindlessly) collect heaps of data without any concern for analysis and structure”, as Nikolaus Himmelman put it [10]. Linguistic Data Types and the Interface between Language Documentation and Description. Which researchers besides linguists were involved in the documentation or could be interested in the data? [� Query the prediction endpoint. Keeping this information can be very useful in case you or someone else would like to go back to the very first version of the data. The kinds of language data collected through documentation has grown to include a greater variety of topics and domains of use. An example for such a text is Aesop’s fable: The North Wind and the Sun commonly used by phoneticians and phonologists to illustrate the sound of languages (cf. If one wants to document what speakers know about their language, it is of course also possible to ask them directly (though this can never be the only or the main method of gathering data). ... What's new with the service and documentation; Plan your app with intents and entities. 0000003994 00000 n

For example, recording telephone conversations (even one’s own) without explicit agreement of all participants is illegal in many countries (e.g. Arduino programming language can be divided in three main parts: functions, values (variables and constants), and structure. In Essentials of Language Documentation, Gippert, J., Himmelmann, N. P., Mosel, U. Microphones can be embedded in various types of devices (such as portable recorders) or used externally, and connected with cables. One of the researchers might look for typical linguistic features (e.g. Some of them enable only annotation of audio files while with others it is also possible to annotate video files (see some of the tools in the list here). Documenting endangered languages. Go to the Let’s Revise section to see what you can learn from this chapter or test how much you have already learnt! When you are about to work with a number of files, one of the crucial steps is to decide about file naming conventions, preferably before starting data collection. 0000004600 00000 n
Existing recordings can include, for example, television shows or parliamentary speeches. The aim of linguistic research in the community must be to find out how people talk when they are not being systematically observed; yet we can only obtain this data by systematic observation. However, as you can imagine, communication in front of TV cameras, lights, and microphones is quite specific and not always suitable for documentation or research needs. Remember that you will probably wish to sort your files by names. Walter de Gruyter. Learn everything you need to know in this tutorial. Language Understanding (LUIS) is a cloud-based conversational AI service that applies custom machine-learning intelligence to a user's conversational, natural language text to predict overall meaning, and pull out relevant, detailed information. Usually, recordings are first transcribed orthographically (using the official alphabet of the language if it exists) then, phonetically. [17] Russian Old Believers: http://www.alaska.org/detail/russian-old-believer-communities In the case of endangered or minority languages, the documenters often are outsiders, not members of the community. This might seem complicated but it becomes understandable when we treat the data more as pieces of someone’s real life or heritage than only as “words or sentences” needed for our studies, as was discussed above. dogs or representations of humans in Muslim cultures). Thanks to this, it is possible to analyse particular speech sounds, syllables, words or any other fragments of the signal (see the animation below). However, legal solutions may vary between countries.

Which type of microphones would be better for these sessions? [7] Labov, W. (1972). Depending on the needs, annotation can also include other information such as description of prosody, dialogue acts, pausing schemes, hesitation markers, pronunciation errors, individual features of speech or speakers. 107 0 obj

– It is always better to ask first before doing such things. Language documentation comprises the collection, processing and archiving of linguistic data – for example, texts, word lists, recordings of conversations, videos where people tell fairy tales, etc. For example, first we record words, than we translate and analyse them, and the result, for example in form of a word list or a small dictionary, is stored in print or electronic form.
