Scientific Research (NWO) has created an Endangered Languages Program, which is

During this <span class="GramE">workshop</span>
these three projects will be presented and the future of the program will be
discussed. The workshop will also offer an opportunity for an exchange of ideas
about the objectives and the importance of endangered languages documentation,
and <span class="GramE">about more practical problems that researchers encounter
while doing this type of research</span>. A number of national and
international specialists will present their ideas about a number of issues
relevant to these themes. Anyone interested in participating in this workshop
is kindly requested to register with the secretary of the program, </span><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Marc <span class="GramE">Linssen<span style=""><span style=""> </span>(</span></span></span></b><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">e-mail <a href="mailto:linssen@nwo.nl">linssen@nwo.nl</a>)

ways in which one can take advantage of the <span class="GramE">orality<span style=""> </span>in</span> endangered languages in their
documentation. It will examine the kinds of features in oral performances in
traditions and in everyday discursive practices that get “lost” as these <span class="GramE">are reduced</span> to writing. Participants will share experiences
in this domain. The workshop will also explore ways in which modern
technologies of multi-media documentation <span class="GramE">can be used</span>
to minimize the loss of orality features as communities aspire to alphabetic
literacy in their languages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The aim of this workshop is to
provide some thoughts and practical hints <span class="GramE">for<span style=""> </span>researcher</span> who want to prepare reading
materials such as story books for the language community. Many of us use
stories for our analysis and feel an urge to make such materials available
locally. The reaction of the community members towards such initiatives is in
general very positive and it tends to boost their <span class="GramE">self
confidence</span>. Questions that <span class="GramE">will be addressed</span>
are very practical, for example: Should the publication be bilingual or
monolingual? If <span class="GramE">bilingual</span> how should the two languages
be arranged? Do we use drawings? What is the best font size? What is an appropriate
translation? <span class="GramE">etc</span>. The workshop <span class="GramE">is
accompanied</span> by a small exhibition of reading materials.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to declare the oral and graphic expressions of the Wajãpi Indians as <span class="GramE">a<span style=""> </span>"</span>Masterpiece
of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity". Since, for the larger
public, the importance of ‘patrimonialisation’ of intellectual
activity/tradition is poorly understood, an effort is being made to bring to
Amsterdam a member of the Wajãpi people and an outside specialist of the Wajãpi
culture, in order to explain the cultural, mythological and social significance
of the Wajãpi painting (including body painting) tradition.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the bottom of the list that you find in the upper right corner. The conference
center is not on the map, but it is close to the VrijeUniversiteit (VU). On the
city <span class="GramE">map</span> you find a search engine. Fill in under
‘straat’: <b style="">De <span class="GramE">Boelelaan<span style="font-weight: normal;"> ;</span></span></b> under ‘Huisnr.’: <b style="">1105</b>. This is the address of the VU.
Type ‘enter’. The location of the VU will appear on the map. If you type next
the name of the street and the street number of the hotel you are interested
in, you can estimate the distance of your hotel to the Vrije Universiteit. The
conference center is about 10 minutes southwards from the VU, by tram 5, or
express tram (Metro) 51 (Station ‘Uilenstede’). Both trains also cross the city
in different ways. Consequently, the best location of the hotel of your choice
is on the <span class="GramE">tram line</span> 5 or the express tram line 51. On
the next <span class="GramE">web-page</span> you find a public transportation
map:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the tramlines 5 or 51. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
