>Impelled by concerns of the accelerating loss of languages, language
>archiving has emerged as a prominent issue for linguists and for
>heritage language speakers alike.  The quality of documentation
>available for an endangered language can determine the success of
>its revitalization. The present conference has been organized by
>participants in the LSA Conversation on Endangered Languages
>Archiving to bring archiving issues, especially electronic archiving
>issues, before the linguistic community.  Six themes will be treated
>at the public portion of the conference in conventional paper
>presentation sessions, in poster sessions, and in panel
>presentations with open discussion.  These themes are (1) the
>requirement for language documentation training, (2) the concerns
>and involvement of the heritage language communities,  (3) the
>question of what is adequate documentation,  (4) the uses of
>documentation in speaker communities, (5) training and careers in
>field linguistics, and (6) ethics, documentation, and archiving.
>Presenters of papers and posters in the public sessions on July 9
>and 10 will be invited to join the LSA Conversation group on the
>morning of July 11 in a closed session; that closed meeting will be
>the second LSA Conversation to advise the Society on efforts it

>
>3."What Is Adequate Documentation"
>Session Chair: K. David Harrison, Swarthmore C & Chair, LSA CELP
>Adequate documentation covers not only verbal paradigms and digital
>recordings, but also a broad range of knowledge domains, genres,
>speaker
>demographics, and social contexts. It must include folk-knowledge,
>ethnography, oral genres, language attitudes, etc. In other words,
>we need to be willing to go beyond linguistic theory proper to
>adequately document human languages.
>
>4. "The Use of Documentation in Speaker Communities"
>Session Chair: Nicholas Ostler, FEL, UK
>Language documentation of the past is already the foundation for
>language revitalization in may parts of the world. This session
>presents case studies.
>
>5. "Training and Careers in Field Linguistics"
>Session Chair: Martha Ratliff, Wayne State U
>This session will review field work training practices in the U.S.,
>Europe, and Australia. The presentations will contrast the place of

>field work focus.
>
>6.  "Ethics, Documentation, and Archiving"
>Session Chair:  Alice Harris, SUNY, Stony Brook
>This panel explores the linguist's responsibilities to his
>native-speaker consultants, to the community of speakers, and to the
>community of linguists.   A panel of three will make brief
>presentations, and this will be followed by general discussion.
