UoAJK & FLI Collaborate for Language Documentation Activity

FLI attaches great importance to working with universities especially with their linguistic departments to expand its scope of work. Earlier, FLI has been working with universities of regional and national levels. This is the great news for language researchers that more universities are entering the field of linguistics and playing their effective role. One of such universities, FLI has been partnering with is the University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir in Muzaffarabad. FLI organized on January 11-13, a three-day workshop on using new tools and technologies in the language documentation in collaboration with the city campus of this university. A total of 35 participants, including 25 females enhanced their capacity in the use of technology while documenting the languages. The faculty members, students and language researchers were among participants of the event. The purpose of the workshop was to enhance the capacity of language researchers in language documentation and introduce the tools and technology used in language documentation. The participants learned and practiced the phonetic transcription, Acoustic Analysis, Poetics, documentation. It’s hoped that the event will benefit our languages and cement FLI’s relationship with universities’ linguistic departments for future collaboration.
