<br>
<br>CoLang 2014: the Institute on Collaborative Language Research will
take place at The University of Texas at Arlington in June and July
2014. CoLang (previously known as InField) allows students, faculty, and
indigenous community members to acquire or refine cutting edge skills
in language documentation, revitalization and field linguistics, to
network with established international experts in these areas, and to
gain hands-on experience in working with endangered and underdescribed
language communities through field methods offerings. An exciting
development this year is our partnership with the Linguistic Society of
America. Part of this co-sponsorship includes LSA scholarships to CoLang
2014, creating expanded opportunities for academic training in language
documentation and field linguistics for (and by) a diverse group of
indigenous community members,academic linguists and those involved in a
wide variety of language documentation and revitalization activities.
<br>
<br>The CoLang 2014 team from UT Arlington will be holding office hours
at the LSA on January 3rd and 4th, where we will have fliers and posters
for you to take home to help us advertise CoLang, and we will also be
available to answer any questions that you might have about attending
CoLang. If you stop by, you can register to win a door prize in
addition to getting a poster. If you know someone who is considering
attending CoLang, be sure to tell them to stop by and see us. These are
the office hours with locations for CoLang:
<br>
<br>Friday 9:00-10:30 a.m. - Symphony 1
<br>Saturday 9-10:30 a.m., 2:00-4:00 p.m. - Directors Row 4
<br>
<br>CoLang's two-week session, from June 16-27, 2014, consists of
workshops in aspects of language documentation and revitalization and it
costs $1450, which covers registration, room and board. Many attendees
stay on for an additional four-weeks, which includes enrollment in a
four-week field methods class, as well as the two weeks of workshops.
Costs for the entire six-week session is $4300 (registration, room and
board). The field methods classes give participants a firsthand
experience in working with speakers of an endangered language to
document and analyze the language. With three to four field methods
classes scheduled, CoLang 2014 will be able to serve a large number of
interested participants. This year, for the first time, we plan to
offer a Spanish-medium field methods class featuring a language of
Mexico. We should be announcing the languages for the field methods
courses by February 1, 2014.

<br>

America and for CoLang 2014 internal scholarships will shortly be
available; the due date for consideration for both is February 17, 2014.
In addition, the Endangered Language Fund will also be offering a
scholarship to CoLang 2014's two-week workshop session through its
Native Voices Endowment, with a scholarship deadline of April 1, 2014.
