This is my\nsecond time here: I was previously a guest researcher with the Museu Goeldi from\n1997 to 2011, when I studied and documented the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Awet%C3%AF_language\">Aweti language<\/a> in\nMato Grosso. The Aweti live in the <em>Upper Xingu<\/em> cultural area together\nwith nine other ethnic groups speaking six languages of different families. Aweti\nis a Tupian language and had about 90 speakers when I initiated research in\n1998; today they are more than 200. These worrying numbers alone were reason\nenough for me to get interested in language endangerment, and engaging in the\nnew field of language documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a German documentary-anthropological linguist I am interested in linguistic diversity, and also in language technology. I obtained a Dr. Phil degree at the Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin in 2002 while doing fieldwork and language documentation within the DOBES programme (2000\u20132006). From 2008 to 2011 I held a Dilthey-Fellowship developing a digital grammar of Aweti at the Goethe-Universit\u00e4t Frankfurt, where I continue to be affiliated as Privatdozent. From November 2011, I\u00a0was Scientific Coordinator and Head of <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.mpi.nl\/\"><em>The Language Archive<\/em><\/a>, Max-Planck-Institute for Psycholinguistics. Then, in 2015-2016, I was General Coordinator in the European Language research infrastructure <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarin.eu\/\">CLARIN ERIC<\/a>, followed by two years as Director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/vigdis.hi.is\/en\/vimiuc\/about-vimiuc\/\">Vigd\u00eds International Centre<\/a>, University of Iceland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe that FEL is an important institution with a huge potential to raise interest in endangered languages and support their study. It was a pleasure to me to host the 2018 FEL conference in Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland, and to take a role in FEL publications, co-editing the first digital <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elpublishing.org\/book\/endangered-languages-and-the-land\">proceedings volume<\/a>, published by EL Publishing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today&#8217;s blog post, we introduce another member of the FEL Executive Committee.
