Application of Syntactic Structures Generators for the Aim of Reconstruction and Revitalization of Endangered Languages

Mirosław Gajer , Zbigniew Handzel

Abstract

Nowadays the situation of the world of languages is such that many small languages are seriously endangered in the coming years. This situation is not good from the point of view of the necessity of preserving the diversity of cultural heritage. Moreover, every human language constitute the precious research material for the linguists, basing on which they can test their scientific hypothesis concerning the nature of the human language, its origin, and the evolution of groups and families of languages. The world of sciences developed many initiatives and projects the aim of which is to preserve the small languages from total perishing. In the paper we propose to build proper computer tools in the form of the generators of syntactic structures that could support the process of reconstruction and revitalization of endangered and even dead languages. The point of authors' interest are peripheral Scandinavian languages, such as potentially endangered language of the Faroe Islands and the norn language, which is unfortunately dead for over one hundred years.
