This invitational workshop brings together a cross-disciplinary set of researchers working in the Peruvian Amazon, with a focus on the indigenous languages spoken in the Ucayali Region. It honors the newly established Chana research station, which facilitates long-lasting collaborative relationships among researchers from PUCP and UZH as part of an ongoing effort to demonstrate the immeasurable value that indigenous languages bring to the field of language sciences. The workshop explores how applying multiple modes of linguistic research — that have not previously been widely used with Peruvian languages — can contribute to their documentation, revitalization, and inclusion in large linguistic databases. In addition, the workshop aims to broaden the range of academic disciplines that will benefit from opportunities at the Chana research station and the ways the research station can benefit from research in turn.
Este seminario por invitación reunirá a un grupo interdisciplinario de investigadores que trabajan en la Amazonía peruana, con especial atención a las lenguas indígenas que se hablan en la región de Ucayali. El seminario rendirá homenaje a la recién establecida estación científica Chana, que facilita relaciones de colaboración duraderas entre investigadores de la PUCP y la UZH como parte de un esfuerzo continuo para demostrar el valor inconmensurable que las lenguas indígenas aportan al campo de las ciencias del lenguaje. El seminario explorará la forma en que la aplicación de múltiples modos de investigación lingüística (que anteriormente no se habían utilizado ampliamente con las lenguas peruanas) puede contribuir a la documentación y revitalización de las lenguas indígenas, así como a su inclusión en grandes bases de datos de lingüística. Además, el seminario aspirará a ampliar la variedad de disciplinas académicas que se beneficiarán de la estación científica Chana, y a su vez, la forma en que la estación científica puede beneficiarse de estas investigaciones.
