<b>About the Summer School<br>
</b>The field of language documentation has matured over the last 15
years. With several funding initiatives running out,
community-driven language documentation ensures sustainable
documentation.<br>
<br>
This summer school is designed to encourage community-driven
interdisciplinary language documentation. It will bring together
speakers of endangered languages, local language workers, students
and researchers of linguistics and related fields. The summer school
is intended to be a space for engagement and exchange between
community members, language workers and students and provide an
environment for learning about each other’s interests and
requirements.<br>
<br>
The curriculum is developed to be in accordance with the needs and
interests of the speech communities. It aims at empowering the
speech communities to participate in the definition and
implementation of research projects and sensitise students of
linguistic for the needs of the communities. Thus, the major goal of
this summer school is to introduce the participants into the theory
and methods of language documentation. The goal is to acquire the
knowledge and competence to conduct one's own documentation projects
with regard to endangered language.<br>
<br>
This summer school is part of a larger event. The week before CDLD
2014 there will be another one-week summer school on Coding for
Language Communities (<a
