Advances in computing technology from the past few decades have opened the possibility of a cyberinfrastructure for linguistics that will advance the field by allowing linguists to analyze and test hypotheses against much larger data sets, collaborate with more people across greater distances, and as a result find solutions to questions not previously answerable. However, in order to realize the promise of a well-engineered cyberinfrastructure, the field needs to solve three problems: (1) establishing a culture of publishing and sharing data and annotations, and of expecting hypotheses to be tested against available data sets; (2) identifying existing standards and software that can contribute to a general cyberinfrastructure and plan how to build from them; and (3) developing a funding model which will sustain not only research contributions by linguists and computational linguists, but also software development (including user interface work) by software engineers.These problems can not be solved by isolated research projects, but rather require wide-spread communication, participation and buy-in from the field. The goal of this workshop, Cyberling 2009: Towards a Cyberinfrastructure for Linguistics, is to bring together linguists representing a wide range of subfields (as well as outside specialists) who are interested in the potential of cyberinfrastructure for linguistics and who have experience in working with related projects to create a roadmap for solving the problems noted. The workshop is being collocated with the Linguistic Society of America's 2009 Linguistic Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, and includes open panel discussions to engage the general audience of the Linguistic Institute and thereby promote wider interest in cyberinfrastructure development within the field.

过去几十年计算技术的进步为语言学的网络基础设施提供了可能性，该基础设施将允许语言学家根据更大的数据集分析和测试假设，与更多的人跨越更远的距离进行合作，从而推动该领域的发展。解决以前无法回答的问题。然而，为了实现精心设计的网络基础设施的承诺，该领域需要解决三个问题：（1）建立一种发布和共享数据和注释的文化，并期望根据可用数据集来测试假设； (2) 确定有助于构建通用网络基础设施的现有标准和软件，并规划如何构建它们； （3）开发一种资助模式，不仅支持语言学家和计算语言学家的研究贡献，而且支持软件工程师的软件开发（包括用户界面工作）。这些问题不能通过孤立的研究项目来解决，而是需要广泛的研究- 现场传播沟通、参与和支持。本次研讨会“Cyber​​ling 2009：迈向语言学网络基础设施”的目标是将代表各个子领域的语言学家（以及外部专家）聚集在一起，他们对语言学网络基础设施的潜力感兴趣，并且有与语言学合作的经验。相关项目来制定解决所指出问题的路线图。该研讨会与美国语言学会 2009 年加州大学伯克利分校语言研究所同时举办，其中包括开放式小组讨论，以吸引语言研究所的普通观众，从而促进对该领域网络基础设施开发的更广泛兴趣。
