Dear Asialex members,
Oxford University Press has recently launched the Oxford Global Languages
initiative<http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/words/oxfordlanguages>, a project
that aims to capture and preserve digital resources for over 100 languages.
Each language will have dedicated websites, the Living Dictionaries, and one of
the next languages to be launched will be Urdu.
In preparation for this, there are two roles for which we are looking for Urdu
speakers based in Pakistan:
Language Managers - a permanent part-time freelancer who will help us manage
the daily language site community activity. This would suit a masters or PhD
student of a language related discipline, or a language practitioner able to
commit from 10 to 20 hours every week (but these are flexible).
Language Champions - volunteer advisors and community advocates with expertise
in the language, who can participate as much or as little as they wish, with no
time commitment. This would suit academics or people involved with language
research.
I am attaching an overview of the two roles, and would be happy to arrange for
a phone call for an informal chat about any of the roles to those interested.
If any of the roles interests you, please get in touch.
With kind regards,
Simone
