This conference aims to assess what has been achieved in the<br>past decade and what the practice of language documentation within<br>linguistics has been and can be. It has become apparent that there is too<br>much for a linguist alone to achieve and that language documentation<br>requires collaboration. This conference will focus on the theme of<br>collaboration in language documentation and revitalization and will<br>include sessions on interdisciplinary topics.<br><br>PLENARY SPEAKERS include:<br><br>* Nikolaus Himmelmann, University of Munster<br>* Leanne Hinton, UC Berkeley<br>* Paul Newman, Indiana University, University of Michigan<br>* Phil Cash Cash, University of Arizona<br><br><br>TOPICS<br><br>We welcome abstracts on the issue of a retrospective on language<br>documentation - an assessment after a decade, and on topics related to<br>collaborative language documentation and conservation which may include:<br><br>- Community-based documentation/conservation initiatives<br>- Community viewpoints on documentation<br>- Issues in building language documentation in collaborative teams<br>- Interdisciplinary fieldwork<br>- Collaboration for mobilization of language data<br>- Technology in documentation - methods and pitfalls<br>- Graduate students and documentation<br>- Topics in areal language documentation<br>- Training in documentation methods - beyond the university<br>- Teaching/learning small languages<br>- Language revitalization<br>- Language archiving<br>- Balancing documentation and language learning<br><br>This is not an exhaustive list and individual papers and/or colloquia on<br>topics outside these remits are warmly welcomed.<br><br><br>ABSTRACT SUBMISSION<br><br>Abstracts should be submitted in English, but presentations can be in any<br>language.
