At the Institute over the past decade, with NSF support, we have been developing software applications for documenting, analyzing, and disseminating data on American Indian languages, most of which are on the verge of extinction or at least endangered. Our work to date has resulted in a multimedia dictionary database processor (Indiana Dictionary Database) and a multimedia language lesson compiler (Indiana Language Lesson Creator), designed for linguistic research and language pedagogy. Currently, we are developing a multimedia annotated text processor. In short, we are creating a suite of applications that will raise the standard in American Indian language study and teaching. Over the next month and a half, we will be preparing an application for a major grant for NSF's Information Technology Research initiative. We have the strong support of both George Walker and Chris Peebles and his group in the Office of Info Technology. We want this project to be interdisciplinary, because we believe that these products can be useful to a range of researchers in the social sciences and humanities, not just linguists, as well as to language education. Consequently, we would like to discuss potential collaboration with someone in the Department of Computer Sciences. Mike Dunn suggested that we should talk to you, in addition to several other people on campus, to explore how we might involve someone in Computer Sciences. Would you be able to visit with us in the next day or two (Thursday or Friday morning)? I have classes at 9:00 and at 3:00 MWF; otherwise I'm open. The other person who will be with me is Wally Hooper, who is the lead programmer for our current NSF project.
