Obiettivo

The Project "The construction of a full-text database on Balto-Finnic languages and Russian dialects in north western Russia" is prepared in a co-operation of St. Petersburg University (Russia), Groningen University (The Netherlands), Petrozavodsk University (Karelia, Russia), and Joensuu University (Finland).
The main objectives of the Project are as follows:
(1) to reveal and analyse various types of written sources for disappearing Balto-Finnic languages and archaic Russian dialects in Russia's Northwest area;
(2) to seek and record unparalleled modern text samples for these languages;
(3) to construct dictionary and full-text databases on Balto-Finnic languages and archaic Northwestern Russian dialects;
(4) to compile both conventional paper and electronic dictionaries.

At the end of the first year (12 months) the main stock of material on Balto-Finnic and north western archaic Russian dialectal text samples is to be collected and partly systematised and analysed.
At the end of the second year (24 months) material on Balto-Finnic and north western archaic Russian dialects is to be systematised and formats for computer dictionary & toponymic databases are to be ready for implementation.
At the end of the third year (36 months) databases on Balto-Finnic and north-western archaic Russian dialects are to be used in pilot studies concerning the search and retrieval and verification of data and the database organisation.

The database obtained will be used for scientific purposes (the study of language variety in Russia and language contact) and for the development of methods for language teaching in a bicultural environment. It will provide the best opportunity for investigating ethnic and cultural processes in the
contact zone of ancient Slavonic and Balto-Finnic languages. This effort to preserve enhanced indigenous languages and traditional knowledge is a very urgent task, in particular in the Russian Federation.
