all areas of Athabascan/Dene linguistics, language documentation, language
teaching, language policy, and language revitalization. Presentations
addressing the themes/special sessions of the conference are particularly
welcome</font> <br> <br></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3"><b>Special
Session 1 “What stories and conversations can teach us”</b></font> <br>
</p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">The collection of narratives has always
been an integral part of both linguistic and anthropological work, and
it is one of the important issues worked on by many communities. The
first special session has the goal of investigating narrative data from
all perspectives in order to stimulate new research and discussion. </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">The genre of conversation on the other
hand has long been neglected, partially because of the difficulties
associated with recording 'natural' conversation. However, the study
of this linguistically rich genre will not only benefit linguistic
inquiry, but is also highly relevant for language revitalization efforts,
since language learners need to be able to listen to natural conversation
in addition to other forms of language teaching.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">We thus invite all presentations on
linguistic, anthropological, or pedagogical research related to narratives
and conversation.</font> <br> <br></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3"><b>Special Session
2 “Language Technology in Revitalization“</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">For the second special session, we
invite presentations of media used in community efforts in language
revitalization, such as e.g. websites, books, DVD’s or larger projects.
The presentations can be full-length talks, but we also strongly encourage
poster-style presentations, laptop-demonstrations, tutorials for technical
workflows or simply bringing along books, posters and other materials
to be displayed during a poster-style session. </font> <br></p>
