When our values conflict with theirs: linguists and community empowerment in Melanesia
Creators: name: Dobrin, Lise M.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: This paper is part of a larger project that attempts to come to terms with a cluster of ethical issues arising out of my fieldwork on the Arapesh languages, which are spoken in the Sepik coastal region of Papua New Guinea (PNG). While the paper focuses on a particular set of experiences I had as an outside linguist carrying out research in these endangered language communities, I believe they are of more general significance inasmuch as the social processes that motivate them can be found throughout the Melanesian cultural area, and perhaps throughout Oceania. Moreover, I suspect that the patterns of relations with outsiders they instantiate are not strictly limited to this region of the world, but may have resonances elsewhere as well. As our disciplinary focus on endangered languages has sharpened, linguists have begun to seriously discuss the ethical issues they find themselves negotiating in their cross-cultural research encounters. The argument I wish to make is that language documentation projects may mean something quite different to the community of speakers than they do to outside linguists, and that we need to take those differences seriously and respond to them as an integral aspect of our work.

description: Online or “Virtual” data enclaves for analyzing restricted research data are growing in popularity because the sensitive data stay on the server and access can suspended at any time. The enables researchers to work remotely while maintaining security. Remote servers have been particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020–21. Moreover, the enclaves act as collaboratories where projects share space for programs, documents, and data. Despite these advantages, enclaves still face important challenges. Four areas are (1) Identity Management, (2) High Performance Computing, (3) Queuing Availability and (4) Batch Processing.

description: The ATLAS Barrel Toroid (BT) is a superconducting toroid made of 8 superconducting coils of 25 m length and 5 m width, providing the magnetic field for the muon spectrometer of the ATLAS detector, one of the experiments of the Large Hadron Collider, under construction at CERN.B0 is a full scale model, one third length of ATLAS barrel toroid eight coils. The B0 construction was decided to test the technical construction solutions and reproduce the behaviour of the final coils. To fulfil this aim the coil has been equipped with many sensors.This paper describes the whole sensors/instrumentation system installed on B0.

On the local Borel transform of Perturbation Theory

description: We prove existence of the local Borel transform for the perturbative series of massive $\vp_4^4$-theory. As compared to previous proofs in the literature, the present bounds are much sharper as regards the dependence on external momenta, they are explicit in the number of external legs, and they are obtained quite simply through a judiciously chosen induction hypothesis applied to the Wegner-Wilson-Polchinski flow equations. We pay attention not to generate an astronomically large numerical constant for the inverse radius of convergence of the Borel transform.

Year: 2003

description: In this work a new circuit to compress a pulse current utilizing transmission lines and transistor switches is proposed. It demonstrated a time compression factor of 2 on a low load impedance. A 12 m, 50Ω coaxial transmission line provided a current pulse of 3 A, 120 ns. A 6 m, 50Ω storage line connected to main line was able to store the 50% of the initial pulse. A fast switch was used in order to close both lines on a halved load impedance with respect to the transmission line characteristic one. We obtained a current pulse compression recording an output current of 6 A, 60 ns.
Ethnographically informed language documentation

Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: Documentary linguistics (DL) is rapidly gaining recognition as a fully-fledged sub-field of linguistics, on a par with the theoretical subfields in its complexity, the intellectual effort required, and its significance to science. There is also a very active discussion going on among practitioners about core principles of the discipline, how it is best practised and taught. We can predict somewhat optimistically that we will soon see DL (not simply field methods) taught in the curriculum of university departments, practised by a larger percentage of post-graduate students, and accepted as dissertation work. At the same time as DL is being restored to its proper place at the core of the discipline, it is also being redefined and contested (Himmelman 1998, Woodbury 2004). There are ongoing discussions of methods, best practice, technical standards, and the ethics of data access and community ownership. In this paper, I discuss one important dimension of language documentation – the inclusion of ethnographic methods. I advocate a restored balance between structuralist concerns and attention to cultural content of speech. An ethnographically informed approach is essential, I argue, to adequate language documentation. I provide several examples of this, based on my fieldwork on endangered languages in Siberia and Mongolia.

description: We consider two families of finite-dimensional simple Lie superalgebras of Cartan type, denoted by HO and KO, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>3. Using the weight space decompositions and the principal gradings we first show that neither HO nor KO possesses a nondegenerate associative form. Then, by means of computing the superderivations from the Lie superalgebras in consideration into their dual modules, the second cohomology groups with coefficients in the trivial modules are proved to be vanishing.

Based on a group-theoretical argument, we reveal a variety of valence arrangements, including heterogeneous or partially metallic charge-density-wave states. Quantum and thermal phase competitions are numerically demonstrated with particular emphasis on novel insulator-to-metal and insulator-to-insulator transitions under doping, the former of which is of the first order, while the latter of which is of the second order.

Cross-disciplinarity in the documentation work of anthropologists and linguists
Creators: name: Widlok, Thomas
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: The starting point for this contribution is that the recent increase in language documentation research has put the inter-disciplinary work of anthropologists and linguists, once again, on the agenda. Recent funding initiatives explicitly foster interdisciplinary work. In times of lean research funding many linguists and anthropologists find themselves in joint projects just as partners may find themselves in arranged marriages or marriages of convenience. In such a context this paper may therefore be considered to be part of marriage consultancy, outlining the productive potentials as much as the potential problems in an attempt to create a stable and at the same time dynamic marriage. This paper is structured as follows: after outlining some of the general advantages and assets of cross-disciplinary work, I will highlight some practical advantages of cross-disciplinarity in language documentation. This will then be followed by some reflections on the problems of cross-disciplinary research in which a discussion of practical difficulties will lead to the outline of problems that are theoretically inspiring and should therefore be considered positive challenges instead of negative obstacles.

description: When a single long piece of elastic wire is injected trough channels into a confining two-dimensional cavity, a complex structure of hierarchical loops is formed. In the limit of maximum packing density, these structures are described by several scaling laws. In this paper it is investigated this packing process but using plastic wires which give origin to completely irreversible structures of different morphology. In particular, it is studied experimentally the plastic deformation from circular to oblate configurations of crumpled wires, obtained by the application of an axial strain. Among other things, it is shown that in spite of plasticity, irreversibility, and very large deformations, scaling is still observed.

Evidence for Morphology and Luminosity Transformation of Galaxies at High Redshifts

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: We study the galaxy morphology-luminosity-environmental relation and its redshift evolution using a spectroscopic sample of galaxies in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS). In the redshift range of $0.4\leq z\leq1.0$ we detect conformity in morphology between neighboring galaxies. The realm of conformity is confined within the virialized region associated with each galaxy plus dark matter halo system. When a galaxy is located within the virial radius of its nearest neighbor galaxy, its morphology strongly depends on the neighbor's distance and morphology: the probability for a galaxy to be an early type ($f_E$) strongly increases as it approaches an early-type neighbor, but tends to decrease as it approaches a late-type neighbor. We find that $f_E$ evolves much faster in high density regions than in low density regions, and that the morphology-density relation becomes significantly weaker at $z\approx 1$. This may be because the rate of galaxy-galaxy interactions is higher in high density regions, and a series of interactions and mergers over the course of galaxy life eventually transform late types into early types. We find more isolated galaxies are more luminous, which supports luminosity transformation through mergers at these redshifts. Our results are consistent with those from nearby galaxies, and demonstrate that galaxy-galaxy interactions have been strongly affecting the galaxy evolution over a long period of time.

The number of eigenstates: counting function and heat kernel

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: The main aim of this paper is twofold: (1) revealing a relation between the counting function N(lambda) (the number of the eigenstates with eigenvalue smaller than a given number) and the heat kernel K(t), which is still an open problem in mathematics, and (2) introducing an approach for the calculation of N(lambda), for there is no effective method for calculating N(lambda) beyond leading order. We suggest a new expression of N(lambda) which is more suitable for practical calculations. A renormalization procedure is constructed for removing the divergences which appear when obtaining N(lambda) from a nonuniformly convergent expansion of K(t). We calculate N(lambda) for D-dimensional boxes, three-dimensional balls, and two-dimensional multiply-connected irregular regions. By the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, we generalize the simply-connected heat kernel to the multiply-connected case; this result proves Kac's conjecture on the two-dimensional multiply-connected heat kernel. The approaches for calculating eigenvalue spectra and state densities from N(lambda) are introduced.

Estimation of trend in state-space models: Asymptotic mean square error and rate of convergence

description: The focus of this paper is on trend estimation for a general state-space model $Y_t=μ_t+\varepsilon_t$, where the $d$th difference of the trend $\{μ_t\}$ is assumed to be i.i.d., and the error sequence $\{\varepsilon_t\}$ is assumed to be a mean zero stationary process. A fairly precise asymptotic expression of the mean square error is derived for the estimator obtained by penalizing the $d$th order differences. Optimal rate of convergence is obtained, and it is shown to be "asymptotically equivalent" to a nonparametric estimator of a fixed trend model of smoothness of order $d-0.5$. The results of this paper show that the optimal rate of convergence for the stochastic and nonstochastic cases are different. A criterion for selecting the penalty parameter and degree of difference $d$ is given, along with an application to the global temperature data, which shows that a longer term history has nonlinearities that are important to take into consideration.

description: In arXiv:hep-th/0310113 we started a program of creating a reference-book on matrix-model tau-functions, the new generation of special functions, which are going to play an important role in string theory calculations. The main focus of that paper was on the one-matrix Hermitian model tau-functions. The present paper is devoted to a direct counterpart for the Kontsevich and Generalized Kontsevich Model (GKM) tau-functions. We mostly focus on calculating resolvents (=loop operator averages) in the Kontsevich model, with a special emphasis on its simplest (Gaussian) phase, where exists a surprising integral formula, and the expressions for the resolvents in the genus zero and one are especially simple (in particular, we generalize the known genus zero result to genus one). We also discuss various features of generic phases of the Kontsevich model, in particular, a counterpart of the unambiguous Gaussian solution in the generic case, the solution called Dijkgraaf-Vafa (DV) solution. Further, we extend the results to the GKM and, in particular, discuss the p-q duality in terms of resolvents and corresponding Riemann surfaces in the example of dualities between (2,3) and (3,2) models.

The chapters for this volume are written up versions of the workshop presentations, plus two invited papers (by Dobrin and Harrison, both presented at the LSA Conference on Language Documentation held at Harvard University, July 2005). Language documentation is a relatively new research area and these papers make significant new contributions to the theory and practice of this emerging field, especially in the areas of inter-disciplinary approaches to documentation and ways of approaching variation and language contact in endangered language contexts. The papers are organised thematically according to these two topics.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: We discuss that the deviation of the Kugo-Ojima color confinement parameter $u(0)$ from -1 in the case of quenched lattice simulation and the consistency with -1 in the case of full QCD simulation could be attributed to the boundary condition defined by fermions inside the region of $r<1$fm. By using the domain wall fermion propagator in lattice simulation, we show that the chiral symmetry breaking in the infrared can become manifest when one assumes that the left-handed fermion on the left wall and the right-handed fermion on the right wall are correlated by a self-dual gauge field. The relation between the infrared fixed point of the running coupling measured in lattice simulations, the prediction of the BLM renormalization theory, the conformal field theory with use of the t'Hooft anomaly matching condition in non-SUSY supersymmetric theory and the quaternion real condition are discussed.

description: The study of the dosimetric effects of space radiation on astronauts is an important concern of space missions for the exploration of the Solar System. To protect the crew, shielding must be designed, the environment must be anticipated and monitored and a warning system must be put in place. A Geant4 simulation has been developed for a first quantitative study of existing vehicle concepts and planet surface habitat designs, and the radiation exposure of crews therein. We will show first results of the dosimetric analysis of proposed shielding solutions in the selected geometrical set-ups, complemented with a critical analys is of the Geant4 tools currently available for this type of studies.
Multiliteracy, past and present, in the Karaim communities

Year: 2014

description: For endangered languages, the topic of orthography often arises because the language concerned has no existing or standardised writing system and the development of one is seen as a step towards creating a practice of literacy and creating a corpus of written texts. The case of the Karaim communities in Eastern Europe is different; in fact, it runs opposite to these trends. This paper traces the history of literacy in the Karaim communities of Eastern Europe, and how it influences today’s efforts towards language revitalisation. The 20th century saw massive cultural and political influences including reversing tides of occupation in World War 2 and, less than two generations later, and all within a decade, the de-Sovietisation and independence of their countries. Then followed entry to the European Union with new roles for minorities, a surge of interest in endangered languages, and the arrival of the new communication technologies– Internet and multimedia ... by observing how communities respond to such impacts, and how they react to the needs of language revitalisation caused by the rapid attrition of the last generation of speakers with full mastery of the speech, scripts, and scriptures, we can learn about how we linguists can assist them.

Literacy use and acquisition in multilingual Eritrea

Year: 2014

description: This study investigates literacy acquisition and use in different scripts in multilingual Eritrea, a Horn of Africa country. The research problem is approached from two major angles: the social use of literacy and the classroom acquisition of literacy which in turn includes assessment of literacy instructions, literacy skills and literacy learning processes. The social use of written language and the values attached to literacy and different scripts influence decisions in the acquisition of literacy and the functions assigned to it (Herbert and Robinson 2001). In smaller language communities, there is relatively lower motivation to learn to read and write in a language with limited reach and national status (Hailemariam 2002). Our research tries to compare social use and acquisition in multiple languages and scripts in the context of a complex language and script landscape in Eritrea.

description: We present results from three-dimensional ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations of low $β$ compact toroid (CT) injection into a hot strongly magnetized plasma, with the aim of providing insight into CT fueling of a tokamak with parameters relevant for ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor). A regime is identified in terms of CT injection speed and CT-to-background magnetic field ratio that appears promising for precise core fueling. Shock-dominated regimes, which are probably unfavorable for tokamak fueling, are also identified. The CT penetration depth is proportional to the CT injection speed and density. The entire CT evolution can be divided into three stages: (1) initial penetration, (2) compression in the direction of propagation, and reconnection with the background magnetic field, and (3) coming to rest and spreading in the direction perpendicular to injection. Tilting of the CT is not observed due to the fast transit time of the CT across the background plasma.

description: This development is the latest result of the cooperation between the National Laboratories of Frascati and the Department of Astronomy and Space Science of the University of Florence to improve the capabilities of the existing DXR-2 beam line at the DAΦNE-LIGHT laboratories. This collaboration has assessed a new facility in order to characterize optics and sensors in a wide spectral range (ranging from VUV to IR). Previous measurements [1] have highlighted some limitations in the present setup, as higher signal levels due to the diffracted radiation of the grating in the second order have to be removed to allow an accurate detection. In this work a glass filter is used to remove such spurious signal present in the spectral region with λ>360 nm. The characteristics of the filter and its application to the optical system used to measure the sensitivity of a diamond-based photoconductor have been discussed.
Effects of multiple occupancy and inter-particle interactions on selective transport through narrow channels: theory versus experiment

description: Many biological and artificial transport channels function without direct input of metabolic energy during a transport event and without structural rearrangements involving transitions from a 'closed' to an 'open' state. Nevertheless, such channels are able to maintain efficient and selective transport. It has been proposed that attractive interactions between the transported molecules and the channel can increase the transport efficiency and that the selectivity of such channels can be based on the strength of the interaction of the specifically transported molecules with the channel. Herein, we study the transport through narrow channels in a framework of a general kinetic theory, which naturally incorporates multi-particle occupancy of the channel and non-single-file transport. We study how the transport efficiency and the probability of translocation through the channel are affected by inter-particle interactions in the confined space inside the channel, and establish conditions for selective transport. We compare the predictions of the model with the available experimental data - and find good semi-quantitative agreement. Finally, we discuss applications of the theory to the design of artificial nano-molecular sieves.

description: An image-map is a compromise of an image and a map. The quality of such maps is affected by a number of factors, such as (a) the matching between the features on images and the graphic symbols from maps, (b) the complexity of background images, and (c) the representation of graphic and text symbols on the images. This project deals with the first issue. The current solution is that the accuracy of images should satisfy the accuracy standard of maps. However, images with different resolutions can satisfy the standard for a specific map scale. This may lead to such a situation that the levels of detail (LoD) in images may not match the complexity of map features although the planimetric accuracy is matched. To solve this problem, we developed a complexity-based matching between the image resolution and map scale. More precisely, the matching is based on the complexity of line features. Experimental evaluations were conducted in fifteen representative areas in Hong Kong, by using maps at seven scales and eight image resolutions. Results show that this complexity-based method is capable of obtaining good matching between image resolution and map scale, in terms of both accuracy and users' preference.

Literacy work in Papua New Guinea: the accidental and the planned
Creators: name: Raymond, Mary
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: In this paper I present a case study of literacy projects in two languages of Papua New Guinea, Arop-Lokep (Arop dialect) and Karnai. While carrying out fieldwork on the Arop-Lokep and Karnai languages I assisted with several small scale vernacular literacy initiatives, including writers’ workshops, spelling or alphabet design workshops, and the publication of alphabet books, collected stories and ‘Shell Books’ (cf. Section 3). Most of these initiatives were planned in advance, but a number of them generated unanticipated offshoots and grew in unexpected ways (and with varying degrees of success), often as a result of community members exercising their own resourcefulness. In this paper I will argue for the importance of balancing planning and flexibility in an approach to literacy work. While it is the responsibility of linguists and community language workers to prepare thoroughly, not only for the core activities but also for the preparatory and follow-up stages of the literacy projects they plan to carry out, it is also their task to be responsive and adaptable to the needs and interests of the community, and to respond to the unexpected opportunities that may arise.

The role of metadata for translation and pragmatics in language documentation
Creators: name: Bergqvist, Henrik
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: It is stating the obvious to say that translation relies on contextual information as much as it does on mapping the basic meaning of a word in one language, onto a corresponding word in another. An important portion of the vocabulary in any language also depends directly on the context in order to be accurately understood since it makes reference to certain aspects of the speech situation itself. The problems faced in translating under-documented and sometimes endangered languages make a discussion about how the context of the speech situation can be included in documentation practices both necessary and urgent. What is needed is a format for including large amounts of explicitly stated information about the speech situation that can be accessed together with the archived digital resources that make up the primary data of the documentation. The natural label for this sort of attachable information is of course metadata, since it in fact is ‘data about data’. In the following section, the deficiencies of descriptive linguistics and how it contrasts with documentation practices are summarised with regard to providing sufficient contextual information for translation. In section 2, the concept of metadata is discussed with suggestions regarding a wider definition of...

The importance and challenges of documenting pragmatics
Creators: name: Grenoble, Lenore A.

description: Pragmatic knowledge and linguistic use are fundamental parts of the ethnography of communication and are key to understanding basic communicative practices. In this paper I examine the potential for documentation to reconstruct pragmatic and situational uses of language through the prism of existing language description, with the documentation of one of the Tungusic languages, Evenki, serving as a case study. The purpose of the discussion is twofold. One is to explore the best practices for documenting and describing discourse-pragmatics. The other is to consider the linguistic consequences of language shift in contact situations and how pragmatics are affected (or not) by this shift. The documentation and description of pragmatics and discourse in endangered languages, in particular in those languages already undergoing shift, present certain difficulties. First of all, in shift situations, speakers are not always fully fluent and may have limited access to certain registers, genres and/or styles. In addition, because of the shift, their intuitions are not always reliable (or useful) and they may show interference from the contact language(s). These are obstacles which linguists face in any aspect of documenting and describing a language undergoing shift but pose particular challenges in the elicitation and analysis of pragmatics.

What elicitation misses: dominant languages, dominant semantics
Creators: name: Bradley, David
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: When work in a language is conducted through the filter of a language of elicitation, many semantic fields may be reshaped due to the categories assumed by the fieldworker. This problem is particularly acute where the language being elicited is endangered and in the process of being replaced by a dominant language used as language of elicitation, and language consultants also speak the dominant language. Examples will be drawn from several semantic fields in some endangered Tibeto-Burman (TB) languages which contain more semantic categories than the dominant languages (Chinese, Thai, Nepali, etc.) which are replacing them. The examples cited include deixis, time ordinals, kin group classifiers, and special classifiers. Another filtering issue which arises in translation is whether to translate literally or to make culturally appropriate adjustments to translations. Often such judgements result in choices which may convey a different meaning. This kind of problem is not restricted to translation from a dominant language or into an endangered language.

description: A feasibility study of an optical system to concentrate and to focalize the synchrotron beam for the PRESS_MAG_O experiment of the Vth Committee of the INFN has been proposed. This report describes the study of a collector with two different configurations, to match the optical and mechanical requirements, obtaining performances that are in agree with the opto-mechanical constrains. During the study the requirements has been analyzed and the performances of collectors are described in collimated and non collimated beam. At the end a comparison between the performances of the solutions and conclusions are reported.
Effect of dipole-dipole charge interactions on dust coagulation

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: This study examines the effect that dipole-dipole charge interactions between fractal aggregates have on the growth of dust grains. Aggregates in a plasma or radiative environment will have charge distributed over their extended surface, which leads to a net dipole moment for the charged grains. A self-consistent N-body code is used to model the dynamics of interacting charged aggregates. The aggregates are free to rotate due to collisions and dipole-dipole electrostatic interactions. These rotations are important in determining the growth rate and subsequent geometry (fractal dimension) of the grains. In contrast to previous studies which have only taken charge-dipole interactions into account, like-charged grains are found to coagulate more efficiently than neutral grains due to preferential incorporation of small aggregates into mid-sized aggregate structures. The charged aggregates tend to be more compact than neutral aggregates, characterized by slightly higher fractal dimensions.
Renormalization of Spontaneaously Broken SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory with Flow Equations

description: We present a renormalizability proof for spontaneously broken SU(2) gauge theory based on Flow Equations. It is a conceptually and technically simplified version of the earlier paper [KM] including some extensions. The proof of [KM] also was incomplete since an important assumption made implicitly in the proof of Lemma 2 there is not verified. So the present paper is also a corrected version of [KM].

On thick translation in linguistic documentation
Creators: name: Woodbury, Anthony C.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: In an important recent paper on translation in linguistic documentation, Nick Evans and Hans-Jürgen Sasse (2006:11) enumerate some of “the sources on which a translation can be based”. They include: •“fragments of rendition, before and afterwards..., •the accumulated understanding, by the investigator, of how the language works, •information from gesture, •relevant information from tellings of the same story by others; •other contextual information that was not recorded but is relevant to the translation, and •subsequent interpretive remarks made after the story.” They emphasise the ongoing, contingent, interpretive, hermeneutical quality of the documentation of meaning. My goal in this paper is to exemplify and elaborate their point on the basis of my own experience grappling with meaning in field-recorded text, and on the basis of that, to propose recommendations for documenting textual meaning in such a way as to offer maximum transparency to those who may interpret the records we make in a context highly different from that in which we ourselves work: the ‘philologist 500 years from now’. I will label this ‘thick translation’.

Adding a New Dimension to DNA Melting Curves

description: Standard DNA melting curves record the separation of the two strands versus temperature, but they do not provide any information on the location of the opening. We introduce an experimental method which adds a new dimension to the melting curves of short DNA sequences by allowing us to record the degree of opening in several positions along the molecule all at once. This adds the spatial dimension to the melting curves and allows a precise investigation of the role of the base-pair sequence on the fluctuations and denaturation of the DNA double helix. We illustrate the power of the method by investigating the influence of an AT rich region on the fluctuations of neighboring domains.

Riemannian Median and Its Estimation

description: In this paper, we define the geometric median of a probability measure on a Riemannian manifold, give its characterization and a natural condition to ensure its uniqueness. In order to calculate the median in practical cases, we also propose a subgradient algorithm and prove its convergence as well as estimating the error of approximation and the rate of convergence. The convergence property of this subgradient algorithm, which is a generalization of the classical Weiszfeld algorithm in Euclidean spaces to the context of Riemannian manifolds, also answers a recent question in P.

Reason, understanding and the limits of translation
Creators: name: Foley, William A.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: All language description and documentation is an exercise in translation. Obviously, in the descriptive and documentary tasks that most field linguists of endangered languages engage in, a more radical form of translation is required: the linguistic forms of the language under study (the object language) are described and analyzed (not to mention providing metadata in the process of documentation) in a completely different language, typically a European metropolitan language like English (the metalanguage). This holds true regardless of whatever theoretical framework one wishes to cast their description in: the framework itself needs to be elucidated ... In practical terms, field linguists tend to be guided by two heuristic principles in their necessary tasks of translation: effability and the Conduit Metaphor. These two principles gel together so that the task of translation is mainly seen as one in which the translator needs to align the containers in the object language and metalanguage, as effability guarantees that there will be a match up in the contents of these containers across languages. This view of translation, albeit not one often explicitly articulated, but taken as a working methodology, is simply not tenable, as this paper will endeavour to demonstrate.
