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 forum in
which scholars from Language
Documentation, Language
Technology and others working
on European endangered
languages 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 focussing on the
endangered languages in the
Iberian Peninsula and another
one, a round table, dedicated
to the theme "new speakers of
minority/endangered
languages".<span
