Formosan Language Archive (Academia Sinica)Type Collection Collection Identifier c0517 Description This archive project aims to record and maintain these languages through collecting and/or editing existing texts in digital forms with corresponding audio files. The Formosan Language Archive includes both Chinese and English browsing display on the Internet, and contains three main types of information databases: (1) the corpora of eleven Formosan languages with annotated texts (Amis, Atayal, Bunun, Kanakanavu, Paiwan, Pazeh, Puyuma, Rukai, Saisiyat, Siraya, Tsou) (2) a geographic information system and (3) four bibliographical databases. The Formosan Language Corpora provide different types of search systems -- sentence-based, paragraph-based, concordance-based, keyword-based, affix-based and lexical category-based -- and preserve the original work recorded by earlier scholars by providing two kinds of display, cf. “original data” vs. “re-edited data”, which can be viewed separately or conjointly. The geographic search system permits users to determine the geographical distribution of each language/dialect and to provide the mapping of phonemes, lexical items (arranged in different semantic fields) and grammatical words to allow users to spot the distribution of cognates within the Formosan languages and identify areal features. The search system for the four bibliographical databases allows access to the latest information on publications about Formosan languages pertaining to linguistics, language teaching, literature and music.
