The Interdisciplinary Centre for Social and Language
Documentation (CIDLeS) cordially invites scholars working on
endangered languages in Europe and on Language Documentation
to join us at the International Conference on Endangered
Languages in Europe. The 2-day International Conference aims
to improve the discussion about linguistic diversity in Europe
and to provide an interdisciplinary platform where scholars
from Language Documentation, Language Technology and those
working on European endangered language varieties can exchange
ideas and techniques on language documentation, archiving, and
revitalization and to reflect on language policy issues. The
second day of the Conference will have two special panels: one
dedicated to the endangered languages in the Iberian Peninsula
and another one, a round table, dedicated to new speakers of
minority/endangered languages.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">

The Conference includes a broad socio-cultural program related
to the theme “Endangered Languages in Europe” with the aim of
promoting intercultural exchange and reinforcing the
relationship between linguists and language communities. On
the 19<sup>th</sup> of October 2013 a “Language Fair” will
take place, in which several communities that speak endangered
languages in Europe present their languages and communities
through books, dictionaries and cultural events (music,
theatre, movies, expositions, etc.). In the “Endangered
Languages Music Festival” (18<sup>th</sup> and 19<sup>th</sup>
of October 2013, in the evening) several bands that sing in
European endangered languages will perform. <o:p></o:p></span>
