<br>The <b>4th International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC)</b>, “Enriching Theory, Practice, & Application,” will be held <b><span><span>February 26-March 1, 2015</span></span></b>, at the <b>Ala Moana Hotel</b> in <b>Honolulu, Hawai‘i</b>. The conference is hosted by the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa and is supported in part by the US National Science Foundation.<br>
<br>The program for this 3 ½ day conference will feature two keynote talks, an integrated series of Master Classes on the documentation of linguistic structures, and a series of Sponsored Special Sessions on pedagogy in language conservation. An optional Hilo Field Study (on the Big Island of Hawai‘i) to visit Hawaiian language revitalization programs in action will immediately follow the conference.<br>
<br>The theme of the 4th ICLDC, “Enriching Theory, Practice, and Application,” highlights the need to strengthen the links between language documentation (practice), deep understanding of grammatical structure (theory), and methods for teaching endangered languages (application). At this conference, we intend to focus on language documentation as the investigation of grammar and linguistic structure on the one hand, and the development of that investigation into sound pedagogy for endangered languages on the other. We hope you will join us.<br>

<u>Topics</u><br></font></font>We especially welcome abstracts that address the conference theme, “Enriching Theory, Practice, & Application.” Discipline-wide reflection on the relationship between the documentation of linguistic structure and language pedagogy is crucial if the proper documentation and conservation of endangered languages is to be effective. Our aim here is two-fold: to create citizen scientists who can reflect on their language for the purpose of teaching and documenting without being hindered by metalanguage, and to enrich the contributions of linguists to linguistic theory and description via documentation.</div>
<div style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><br>We are also seeking abstracts on the science of documentation and revitalization. Documentation is usually portrayed as a means of collecting language data, and revitalization is generally seen primarily as a kind of applied work directly benefiting communities. However, each of those domains is a genuine area of research, and we welcome presentations that treat documentation and revitalization not merely as activities, but also as domains requiring discussion, clarification, and theorization in their own right.</div>
<div style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><br></div><div style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">In addition to the topics above, we warmly welcome abstracts on other subjects in language documentation and conservation, which may include but are not limited to:<ul style="line-height:22px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;overflow:hidden;color:rgb(119,119,119);margin:5px 0px!important;padding-left:5px!important;list-style-position:outside!important">

<br></font></font>To help defray travel expenses to come and present at the conference, scholarships of up to US$1,500 will be awarded to the six best abstracts by (i) students and/or (ii) members of an endangered language community who are actively working to document their heritage language and who are not employed by a college or university. If you are eligible and wish to be considered for a scholarship, please select the appropriate "Yes" button on the proposal submission form. This is applicable to regular conference papers only (not the Special Sessions). The scholarships are funded by support from the National Science Foundation Documenting Endangered Languages Program.</div>
<div style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><br>NOTE: Please be advised that these scholarships are considered taxable income under U.S. tax laws. U.S. citizens and permanent residents can expect to receive a 1099 form to figure into their annual tax return for 2015. Non-U.S. citizens/residents may have the applicable taxable amount (typically 30%) deducted from the scholarship check prior to receipt.</div>
