The strategy of creating a corpus of languages of the Manchurian group of Tungusic-Manchurian languages on the basis of cooperation between Russian and Chinese universities

Abstract

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of conservation and research of endangered languages of the Manchurian group of Tungusic-Manchurian languages. The purpose of the study is to develop a strategy for creating a corpus of these languages based on cooperation between leading universities in Russia and China. Methods of comparative analysis of existing buildings, interviews with experts, analysis of regulatory documents in the field of education were used. A plan has been developed for the creation of a corpus, including the stages of data collection, annotation and structuring. A model of a consortium of universities for the creation of a building is proposed. The principles of project management, resource allocation and data access are defined. The role of the corps in the development of educational programs and scientific research is substantiated. The creation of a university-based corpus will ensure high quality data and involve students in the language preservation process. Government support for the project is needed. The building will become a valuable resource for the Russian and international scientific and educational community.
