\n• CAAMA<\/a> (the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association) got squillions from DCITA<\/a> for work on endangered languages and now want a linguist to help them do it. (In several procrastinatory moments I searched the DCITA website to find out how many squillions, but the site didn’t yield the information in an obvious way. Can anyone tell us?)<\/p>\n


\nHere’s their blurb:
\n
\nIn 2005 the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association gained funding through DCITA to make recordings of endangered Aboriginal languages. The intent of this project is to record languages and produce them to CD.
\nThe total work of this project involves many parts:
\n• identification of the endangered language and associated community.
\n• communication with the families and individuals to ascertain their willingness to participate in the project.
\n• organizing logistics of travel and accommodation around visits to the chosen location.
\n• travel to location and meeting\/communicating with the project participants.
\n• direct project activity including linguistic work related to recording, documenting and translating.
\n• return to CAAMA. Collation of all documented material. Assembly into most useful translated form including wordlists.
\n• editing, mixing and mastering all audio.
\n• artwork\/graphics CD jewel-case and CD.
\n• duplication of documented language material, CD artwork and CD.
\n• return of finished product to family, community, language centres, funding body and national archives.
\nWe are presently consulting with as many people as possible to find a language or community who are concerned about the status of their language and are willing to participate in the Endangered Language project.
\nWe are producing three endangered language projects in 2007. CAAMA provides all audio resources and facilities including engineer.
\nWe are keen to discuss this project with linguists who think they can advise us where to go, where our project funding might serve the needs of an identified community best.
\nWe are looking for a linguist to work on this project who is able to meet the production requirements of the project within the timeframe.
\nIf you think you can assist us making these critical decisions we would appreciate contact with you.
