language revival and endangered languages
by Stuart A. Yeates 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

A couple of interesting things happened / happening with respect to the Māori language that might be worth sharing: * There's a google API at https://translate.google.com/toolkit/ for languages which don't yet have a critical mass to be supported by the standard google translate tools. Using the API builds google's knowledge base of the language (hint: start with the new testament, for most small languages it's the largest aligned parallel text that's easily available). * Wikipedia is a great way raise the profile of people and activities in a cross-language fashion. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:M%C4%81ori_language_revivalists Wikipedia sources can be in any language, and translation of articles between languages can be set as a class exercise. Wikimedia will spin up a wikipedia in your language if you can get a couple of hundred articles written in the incubator http://incubator.wikimedia.org/ * Work in unicode. Digtial te reo Māori got set back hugely initially by official support for non-unicode fonts. * Building a dictionaries for firefox / libreoffice / other open source products to use in auto-correct is really easy if you have a decent word list. * I've already mentioned the He Pātaka Kupu Ture / The Legal Māori Archive at http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-corpus-legalMaori.html I'm happy to answer any questions people have about this work (very little of which is actually mine). cheers stuart On Sat, Jun 21, 2014 at 3:46 PM, Alex Gil <colibri.alex(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I agree with you Stuart.

Fwd: [HDH] Activismo multilingüe
by Alex Gil 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hi all, A worthy gesture from Nuria Rodríguez at the DH2015, who will read her paper in Spanish, as a way to begin talking about opening up the floor to papers read in any language at our largest conference (see below). I encourage those of you on this list who are not part of HDH to attend Nuria's talk. Our team will be there to provide translation for those who need it. Best to all, A. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nuria Rodríguez Ortega <nro(a)uma.es> Date: 2014-07-07 23:52 GMT+02:00 Subject: [HDH] Activismo multilingüe To: HDH(a)listserv.rediris.es Queridos colegas de la HDH: En relación con el debate sobre los problemas lingüísticos que emergen cuando se opera en una comunidad internacional, y sobre la vocación (real?) de ADHO de ser una comunidad multilingüe, quiero indicaros, para los que vayáis a estar en Lausanne, que la presentación que tengo programada el día 10 de julio (http://dharchive.org/paper/DH2014/Paper-929.xml) la realizaré en español como medio para hacer evidente la sub-representación de otras lenguas en esta conferencia internacional -que pese a todo sigue siendo monolingüe-, y para dar visibilidad a la comunidad de humanistas digitales de habla hispana presente en DH2014. Como bien dice Domenico en su sugerente post, este tipo de acciones alivian poco el problema y no pueden ser tomadas como soluciones per se, pues solo los presentes en la sala que comprendan el idioma español podrán seguir el hilo de mi presentación ese día (lo que no deja de ser una exclusión). Pero lo asumo como un acto performático necesario para reflexionar y debatir sobre el valor simbólico y material de la lengua. Tengamos en cuenta que la lingua franca no es algo que exista naturalmente en nuestro mundo. La noción de lingua franca es una construcción sociopolítica que sustancia la situación de superioridad y primacía de una lengua respecto de las otras, con todas las implicaciones que llevamos debatiendo. Recordemos también que las nociones, igual que se construyen, se “deconstruyen”. Un abrazo. Nuria -- Nuria Rodríguez Ortega Directora Dpto.

Participate in Tomorrow's Minimal Computing Kickstart
by John Simpson 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Hello GO::DH Subscribers, Tomorrow morning at DH2014 we’re holding a workshop looking to kickstart the GO::DH Minimal Computing Working Group. We recognize that many of you cannot be here in the room but you are welcome to join us via Skype. All you need to participate is to send me a note in advance, either by direct email (john.simpson(a)ualberta.ca) or Skype (symulation) with your Skype account name and I will add you to the conversation. [Note that if you reply to this message on the mailing list I likely won’t get it, we’re not sure why I don’t get these but we’re working on it.] The workshop runs from 9am to 12pm in CEST (2 hours ahead of UTC/GMT) and you can come for as much or as little as you are able. You can get all the details of the workshop at http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/working-groups/minimal-computing/kickstart-w… . I’m hoping that at least a few of you will be able to join us. -John

Call for Participation @ DH 2014 and beyond: nascent History of DH ADHO SIG
by Vika Zafrin 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Dear GO::DH, (Just joined this list. Hello!) In the last year, a few digital humanists (including Kevin Kee, Willard McCarty, Julianne Nyhan, Geoffrey Rockwell, Edward Vanhoutte, and myself) have been ramping up a conversation about digitizing and/or archiving historical DH artifacts. Last week we emailed to ADHO a draft of a SIG proposal. We received prompt and useful feedback (huge thanks!), and are looking forward to fleshing out the proposal and re-submitting it by the end of the summer. The initial proposal talked about disciplinary self-reflection, historicizing DH artifacts, pursuing multiple digitization projects, and finding a permanent digital archive solution (an intermediary one is available). The feedback we've gotten encourages us to expand our thinking beyond specific projects, attract more people interested in signing on, and pay particular attention to truly global representation. We would very much like to move in these directions. To this end, we would like to use next week's DH 2014 conference in Lausanne to meet with some others who may be interested in participating in a History of DH ADHO SIG, should it be approved to go forward. We will meet informally on THURSDAY EVENING JULY 10TH, 7:30-9PM, overlapping with that evening's reception and moving on from there. All interested are warmly invited. If you have concerns about finding us, please email me privately beforehand and we'll make sure to connect. If you would like to participate in the SIG-to-hopefully-be but will not be attending the conference or otherwise cannot make it, please email me. Please include any thoughts you may have about what the group should pursue, and we will bring them to the meeting. Following the Lausanne meeting, we will likely set up an email- or web-based discussion list, and expand from there. We've made a few first steps, but there's a lot more to talk about, and we hope you will join the conversation. Please bring this to the attention of anyone you think may be interested. The more engaged participants, the better off we are. Sincerely, -Vika
