Here's the latest from the California Language Archive:
- In the last two weeks we have hosted two more visits supported by the new CLA Community Research Grant: Kashaya community members and collaborating linguists (left to right) Gene Buckley (PhD 1992), Gavin Antone, Jr., and Anthony Steele; and Nisenan community members (left to right) Wanda Enos Batchelor, Robin Bradley, and Billyhawk Enos (see photographs below).
- Line Mikkelsen, Grethe Schmidt, and Ellen Thrane have accessioned the new collection Kalaallisut Language Materials (Eskaleut; Greenland), featuring video recordings primarily of elicitation sessions conducted on Zoom, and (forthcoming) of Ellen and Grethe's teaching conversational Kalaallisut to students in Linguistics 170 this semester. Their collaboration began in September 2022 (Mikkelsen and Thrane) and continued in May of this year (with Schmidt). The collection-level metadata is written in English, Kalaallisut, and Danish!
