External-Biak - On-line language documentation for Biak (Austronesian)

[This item is not held by PARADISEC but is referenced to allow it to be located in language-based searches, the actual location is provided in the URL] This collaborative project involved the University of Oxford and two universities in Papua, Universitas Cenderawasih and Universitas Negeri Papua, in the creation of an on-line database of digital audio texts and their linguistically annotated transcriptions and translations for the Austronesian language Biak, a language with about 50,000-70,000 speakers in Papua. The annotated transcriptions are produced using Toolbox, a freely-available data management and analysis tool for language documentation, which supports the creation of resources in various forms: transcribed texts with free translations into Indonesian and English (of most use to the Biak-speaking community and for pedagogical use in Papua) and linguistically annotated transcriptions in two forms: a standard human-readable form like the paper-based corpora familiar to linguists, and a translation of this form to XML via the utility tools for Toolbox, suitable for computer analysis and database search. These resources provide a snapshot of audio and textual data on the language, and are useful for language preservation efforts, for ongoing efforts to produce teaching materials in the indigenous languages of Papua, and as a basis for the creation of dictionaries and glossaries in the language. Since they are linguistically annotated, they are also useful for linguists conducting research on Biak and related Austronesian languages. We are grateful to the ESRC for providing support for this project. The project ran from October 2009 to September 2010.. Language as given: Biak

本协作项目由牛津大学与巴布亚地区的两所大学——查雅普拉大学（Universitas Cenderawasih）及巴布亚国立大学（Universitas Negeri Papua）共同参与，旨在构建比亚克语（Biak）的在线数据库，收录数字音频文本及其经语言学标注的转写与译文。比亚克语属于南岛语系（Austronesian），在巴布亚地区的使用人口约5万至7万。
本次标注转写工作采用Toolbox（一款面向语言文献记录的免费数据管理与分析工具）完成。该工具支持生成多种形式的资源：一是附带自由译文的转写文本，译文涵盖印尼语与英语（该形式对比亚克语使用者社区及巴布亚地区的教学应用价值最高）；二是两种形式的语言学标注转写：其一为标准可读格式，与语言学者熟悉的纸质语料库一致；其二为通过Toolbox配套工具转换为可用于计算机分析与数据库检索的可扩展标记语言（XML）格式标注转写。
本数据集涵盖该语言的音频与文本数据快照，可用于巴布亚本土语言的语言保护工作、现有巴布亚本土语言教学材料开发项目，同时可作为该语言词典与词汇表编纂的基础。由于其带有语言学标注，本数据集也可供开展比亚克语及相关南岛语系语言研究的语言学者使用。
本项目衷心感谢经济与社会研究委员会（ESRC）提供的资助。本项目执行周期为2009年10月至2010年9月。标注语言：比亚克语（Biak）
