An <b>Algonquian Dictionaries Workshop</b> will be held at Carleton
University, in <b>Ottawa</b>, <b>February 19-21</b>, <b>2004</b>.
<br><br>
<b>Why this workshop? <br><br>
</b>All the linguists and speakers of Algonquian languages participating
in this workshop are involved in producing dictionaries for the language
they are documenting. The languages represented are: <b>Naskapi, East
Cree, Swampy Cree, Montagnais/Innu, Ojibwa/Anishnabemowin, Passamaquoddy
and Micmac</b>. These languages belong to the larger family of Algonquian
languages and present enough similarities that we believe exchanging
ideas, field notes, and brainstorming together about what we are doing
would be extremely useful. <br><br>
<b>What we will be doing: <br><br>
</b>Participants will report on their work in progress (writing a
dictionary on the language they are working on). Our goal is to
standardize our databases for on-line and electronic publications that
will allow multi-lingual dictionaries. General structure of the
dictionary as well as specific lexicographical areas will be analyzed.
Problems will be identified. Solutions will be sought collectively.
<br>
Being in Ottawa will allow us to have a session with the National Library
of Canada digital collection department to explore how they can help us.
