Berez-Kroeker has established herself as one of the rising stars in the documentation of endangered languages.<\/p>\n<p>The Early Career Award, established in 2010, recognizes scholars early in their career who have made outstanding contributions to the field of linguistics. Berez-Kroeker has incorporated a strong level of technological sophistication to her work, especially in the areas of language archiving, data processing and visualization.<\/p>\n<p>Only the most exceptional of early career scholars can manage to do significant documentary work and produce a sizable record of publications while spending hundreds of &ldquo;hidden&rdquo; hours on basic data analysis, interaction with consultants and outreach efforts.

I am truly lucky to work at a university that embraces finding solutions for the worldwide endangered language crisis.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are so very proud of the excellent work Andrea does in the area of language documentation,&rdquo; said College of Languages, Linguistics &#38; Literature Interim Dean <strong>Laura E.
