<span lang="en-US">ABOUT
THE EVENT</span><br>
The Interdisciplinary
Centre for Social and
Language Documentation
(CIDLeS) cordially
invites all the European
minority language
communities to
participate in the
Language Fair – a
socio-cultural 2-day
event which aims at
getting the general
public acquainted with
linguistic diversity in
Europe, mainly its
endangered/minority
languages (including
those spoken by
immigrants). Therefore,
this event focuses on
discussion and social,
intercultural and
scientific exchange
between different
communities that speak
endangered/minority
languages, on the
promotion of their
cultural and linguistic
heritage, as well as on
the presentation of
modern bands that
perform in their native
languages.<br>
<br>
There are three
different ways for a
community to participate
in the Language Fair:
with an exhibition
stand, with a cultural
performance or both. In
this sense, each
community will be able
to have a stand to
exhibit its own language
(for instance through
literary and scientific
works, films, CDs, DVDs,
posters, etc. excepting
food), as well as to
present the language in
a 20-to-30-minute
cultural performance
(theater sketch,
traditional music,
cinema, dance,
recitation, etc.). The
bands will perform in
the evening (October
18th and 19th) and their
performance will be part
of the Endangered
Languages Music Festival
that will be launched
during this event. The
Language Fair aims above
all to give the voice to
the speakers of minority
languages in Europe in
diverse ways.<br>
<br>
Financial support (a
maximum of €300,
original receipts are
required) will be
granted to communities
participating with an
exhibition stand and/or
a cultural performance.<br>
<br>
The Language Fair will
take place at an old
textile factory in Minde
– Fábrica Emídio da
Silva Raposo. This
factory is emblematic of
the socioeconomic
history of Minde and is
intrinsically related to
the genesis of
Minderico, an endangered
language (ISO 639-3
[drc]) spoken in Minde
since the end of the
17th century. Minderico
emerged as a sociolect,
the secret language of a
socio-professional
group, in this case the
blanket producers and
traders of Minde. But it
rapidly developed into a
full-fledged language
and became a medium of
everyday communication
in Minde, used by the
whole community.
Minderico has
approximately 150 active
speakers (who use the
language daily) and 1000
passive speakers (those
who understand the
language but do not
speak it); its existence
is currently seriously
endangered.<br>
<br>
The Language Fair will
close the general event
dedicated to the
endangered languages in
Europe which takes place
in Minde and includes
the International
Conference on Endangered
Languages in Europe
(October 17th and 18th,
