Dillon, (Anishinaabe), Michael Levy, and John Rieder. In the last decade and a half, a number of scholars have explored the way that SF throughout the last century and a half has borne a close relationship to colonial, and later postcolonial history, discourses, and ideologies. One of the most prominent features of colonial ideology in SF has been the widespread assumption that the future will be determined by the technological and cultural dominance of the West, the “progress” of which often entails the assumption that non-Western cultures will either disappear or assimilate themselves to Western norms. Indigenous Futurism designates a growing movement of writing, both fictional and critical, that envisions the future from the point of view of Indigenous histories, traditions, and knowledges—and in so doing situates the present and the past in ways that challenge (neo/post)colonial ideologies of progress. This special issue of Extrapolation aims to bring together critical and scholarly explorations of and responses to fictional or theoretical and critical work in or on Indigenous SF, where SF is broadly conceived of as including science fiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, and slipstream. Topics might include but are not limited to: * fictional and theoretical confrontations of Western science and Indigenous knowledges * use of Indigenous traditions in fiction or theory to envision a sustainable future * responses to and evaluation of Indigenously-inflected SF in any medium from any geographic location * representation and use of Indigenous traditions in classic SF texts * Indigeneity and SF adventure fiction, Indigeneity and space opera, Indigeneity and the New Weird * challenges of publishing and distributing Indigenous Futurism We invite submissions of 5,000-12,000 words to John Rieder ( rieder at hawaii.edu) by April 1, 2015. Submissions should conform to the usual requirements of Extrapolation. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But, few tribal members are fluent in their native tongue. A bill before congress could help schools preserve their language. Students at the Lakota Language Nest speak a language that many have forgotten. "We're committed to staying in Lakota.

Wroblewski first became interested in Ecuador when he did independent fieldwork as an undergraduate student. He lived with Shuar shamans for one month. Ten years later, he was back in Ecuador studying the native language and culture for his dissertation fieldwork. Now, his work has become a life-long journey of exploration and research. ​ Access full article below: http://www.lanthorn.com/article/2014/04/indigenous-culture-fights-language-war ​ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Berez) Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 09:37:19 -1000 Subject: Call for Proposals: 4th International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation, Honolulu, Feb 26-Mar 1 2015 Message-ID: 4TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE DOCUMENTATION & CONSERVATION CALL FOR PROPOSALS: General papers, posters, electronic posters and Sponsored Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation Please read carefully as some information has changed since last year. INTRODUCTION The 4th International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC), “Enriching Theory, Practice, & Application,” will be held February 26-March 1, 2015, at the Ala Moana Hotel in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. The conference is hosted by the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa and is sponsored in part by the US National Science Foundation. The program for this 3 ½ day conference will feature an integrated series of Master Classes on the documentation of linguistic structures, and a series of Sponsored Special Sessions on pedagogy in language conservation. An optional Hilo Field Study (on the Big Island of Hawai‘i) to visit Hawaiian language revitalization programs in action will immediately follow the conference. The theme of the 4th ICLDC, “Enriching Theory, Practice, and Application,” highlights the need to strengthen the links between language documentation (practice), deep understanding of grammatical structure (theory), and methods for teaching endangered languages (application). At this conference, we intend to focus on language documentation as the investigation of grammar and linguistic structure on the one hand, and the development of that investigation into sound pedagogy for endangered languages on the other. We hope you will join us. For more information and links to past conferences, visit our conference website: http://icldc-hawaii.org/ 1. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: REGULAR CONFERENCE TALKS, POSTERS, AND ELECTRONIC POSTERS Proposal deadline: August 31, 2014 Topics We especially welcome abstracts that address the conference theme, “Enriching Theory, Practice, & Application.” Discipline-wide reflection on the relationship between the documentation of grammatical structure and language pedagogy is crucial if the proper documentation and conservation of endangered languages is to be effective. Our aim here is two-fold: to create citizen scientists who can reflect on their language for the purpose of teaching and documenting without being hindered by metalanguage, and to enrich the contributions of linguists to linguistic theory and description via documentation. We are also seeking abstracts on the science of documentation and revitalization. Documentation is usually portrayed as a means of collecting language data, and revitalization is generally seen primarily as a kind of applied work directly benefiting communities. However, each of those domains is a genuine area of research, and we welcome presentations that treat documentation and revitalization not merely as activities, but also as domains requiring discussion, clarification, and theorization in their own right. In addition to the topics above, we warmly welcome abstracts on other subjects in language documentation and conservation, which may include but are not limited to: - Archiving matters - Community experiences of revitalization - Data management - Ethical issues - Language planning - Lexicography and grammar design - Methods of assessing ethnolinguistic vitality - Orthography design - Teaching/learning small languages - Technology in documentation – methods and pitfalls - Topics in areal language documentation - Training in documentation methods – beyond the university - Assessing success in documentation and revitalization strategies Presentation formats Papers will be allowed 20 minutes for presentation with 10 minutes of question time. Posters will be on display throughout the day of presentation. Poster presentations will run during the early afternoon. Poster presentations are recommended for authors who wish to present smaller, more specific topics, or descriptions of particular projects. Electronic posters (e-posters) are opportunities for presentations of software, websites, and other computer-based projects, in an environment that allows face-to-face interaction with the audience. Similar to a traditional poster session, e-poster presenters will use their own laptop computers to display their projects while the audience walks around, watching demonstrations and asking questions. E-poster sessions will take place in the early afternoon in a room with tables and internet access. 2. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: SPONSORED SPECIAL SESSIONS ON PEDAGOGY IN LANGUAGE CONSERVATION Proposal deadline: May 31, 2014 Special Session Topics and Format This year, we are inviting proposals for a series of four Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation. Each session will contain four talks and will be focused on a theme relating to the notion of pedagogy for endangered language teaching. Endangered language teaching in the language community is often informed by only the most generic of language pedagogies, and language teachers are often frustrated by the lack of methodologies that go beyond short conversation, basic vocabulary, and constructions that can be taught by methods like Total Physical Response (e.g., Asher 1969). Compounding the problem, these same trained teachers may not have enough linguistic knowledge of the subject language to develop robust teaching materials and programs, while linguists with command of linguistic structure may not have the teaching training required to properly educate students or inform language teachers. In the past we have followed the “Ken Hale” model of training endangered language speakers in linguistics. We have created reference grammars and pedagogical grammars, and most documentation projects include some component for creating teaching materials. What is still lacking from the discipline is a systematic discussion of how to transform documentary materials like annotated corpora and reference grammars into an effective pedagogical workflow for endangered languages (e.g., reference grammar to pedagogical grammar to teaching materials to pedagogical methods to assessment of teaching programs). There is a disconnect between linguistic theory and pedagogical theory, and we aim to bridge this gap during these Special Sessions. Each Special Session on Pedagogy in Language Conservation will consist of four 20-minute presentation slots, with each slot to be followed by a 10 minute question period. One Special Session will occur each day of the conference in the same room and time. A total of four Special Sessions will be invited to present at the ICLDC. Successful proposals will be thematically unified on a particular aspect of pedagogy in language conservation. These may include, but are not limited to: - Acquisition: What can L1 and L2 acquisition studies teach us that is relevant for developing classroom materials and curricula? - Teaching methods: What language teaching methods and activities can be brought to endangered language teachers to enhance language learning and retention? - Understanding and conveying complex grammar: What specific activities in the classroom could be used to teach higher level constructions (e.g., complex clauses, information structure, or particle use)? - Assessment: How can we properly assess teaching programs for radically less commonly taught languages? Sponsorship details Thanks to generous support from the US National Science Foundation, we are able to offer sponsorship in the form of travel assistance in the amount of US$2400 for each selected Special Session. The organizer of each Session will determine how that sum is to be divided among the speakers and will inform the ICLDC Executive Committee; depending on each circumstance, funds will be provided as (partial) flight reimbursements, hotel nights, or per diem payments (to be determined by the ICLDC Executive Committee). 3. ABSTRACT SUBMISSION Rules for submission in all categories: - Abstracts should be submitted in English, but presentations can be in any language. We particularly welcome presentations in languages of the region discussed. - Authors may submit no more than one individual and one co-authored proposal (including participation in a Special Session proposal), or no more than two co-authored proposals. In no case may an author submit more than one individually-authored proposal. - Proposals for the sponsored Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation are due by May 31, 2014, with notification of acceptance by June 30, 2014. - Proposals for general papers, posters, and electronic posters are due by August 31, 2014, with notification of acceptance by October 1, 2014. - Individual authors whose proposals for the Special Sessions are rejected are welcome to submit their abstracts individually to the call for general proposals. - We will not be accepting any proposals for panel presentations or colloquia beyond the Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation. - Because of limited space, please note that the Abstract Review Committee may ask that some general abstracts submitted as papers be presented as posters or electronic posters instead. - Selected authors will be invited to submit their conference papers to the journal Language Documentation & Conservation for publication. How to prepare your proposal: - For Special Session proposals: Special session organizers must submit their proposal on behalf of the authors included in the session. We ask the organizer to prepare an abstract of no more than 400 words for the Special Session as a whole, and to also submit abstracts of no more than 400 words for each paper in the Session. We also ask for a 50-word summary of the Special Session and of each paper in the session for inclusion in the conference program. All abstracts will be submitted to blind peer review by international experts on the topic. - For proposals for general papers, posters, and electronic posters: We ask for abstracts of no more than 400 words for online publication so that conference participants will have a good idea of the content of your paper, and a 50-word summary for inclusion in the conference program. All abstracts will be submitted to blind peer review by international experts on the topic. - To facilitate blind peer review, please DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR NAME OR AFFILIATION in your abstract or filename. Your proposal should only include your presentation title, abstract, and list of references (if applicable). - If you are including references/citations to your own work in your abstract, please be sure to replace your name(s) with "Author". For example, if you are Ted Smith and you wrote an article in 2009, which you are citing in your file (i.e., Smith (2009) ), you would change it to "Author (2009)." If you are including a list of references at the end, also make sure to anonymize any of your publications similarly as well. - Please note that your reference list is not counted in your 400-word abstract maximum, only the main abstract text. - Please save your abstract as an MS WORD DOCUMENT or PDF FILE. MS Word is preferred. However, if you are using special fonts, special characters, or diagrams in your abstract, a PDF file is recommended to make sure it displays as you intend. - For a FILE NAME, use an abbreviated version of your title. For example, if your presentation title is "Revitalizing Hawaiian for the next generation: Social media tools," your filename might be "Revitalizing_Hawaiian.doc" or "Revitalizing_Hawaiian_social_media.pdf" To submit an online proposal, visit http://www.icldc4.icldc-hawaii.org and click on "Call For Proposals." Proposal review criteria - Appropriateness of the Topic: Does the paper/poster address the themes of the conference or Special Session? - Presentation: Is the abstract well-written? Does it suggest that the paper/poster will be well organized and clearly presented? - Importance of the Topic: Is this an important topic within the area? Is the paper/poster likely to make an original contribution to knowledge in the field? Will it stimulate discussion? - Contribution to the discipline: For talks, does the presentation make a methodological or theoretical contribution to the discipline? If not (e.g., project descriptions), could the presentation be submitted as a poster or electronic poster? 4.

How can community members come up with new words in your language? How can dictionaries be used to help learners and set up language lessons for teaching? The workshop will focus on learning a free dictionary-making software (FLEx- Fieldworks Language Explorer). A number of tribes have used FLEx to create online dictionaries with audio and pictures or to create bilingual stories. Local languages will be used in the training materials for the workshop.

Growing up on the Yurok reservation about 90 minutes north of here, she sometimes heard her grandfather speak it to his contemporaries, and she studied it, on and off, in the community. “But it’s starting to click faster for me now,” said Tenayah, a 15-year-old with pink hair and a bright smile. “I’m glad it’s here — otherwise, I’d have to go somewhere else to take classes.” Her goal is to go to college and eventually teach the language. “We need more fluent speakers,” she said. “We’re getting more, which would be nice to speed up.” Eureka began offering Yurok two years ago, bringing to four the number of public high schools in Northern California where the language is taught. Two public elementary schools also offer it, including one as part of a new immersion program. ​ Access full article below: ​ http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/13/us/in-california-saving-a-language-that-predates-spanish-and-english.html?hpw&rref=us&_r=0 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There are at least 6 million indigenous people who are speaking an indigenous language in Mexico, including approximately 1.6 million people who speak Nahuatl and 796,000 Mayan speakers. While these larger groups are gaining some momentum, with more and more books and literature being produced in the languages, others are in danger. In late March, Mexican scholars were quoted as saying that of the country's 143 Native languages, 21 are in critical danger of disappearing, meaning that they have less than 200 speakers. Among the most critical are Kiliwa of Baja California that has 36 speakers, and Ayapaneco from Tabasco that is spoken by two adults. ​Access full article below: http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2014/04/14/fighting-extinction-story-indigenous-mexican-languages-154431 ​ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(fwd link) Message-ID: *Sixty Languages at Risk of Extinction in Mexico—Can They Be Kept Alive?* Online dictionaries and smartphones may help with preservation, experts say. Christine Dell'Amore National Geographic PUBLISHED APRIL 10, 2014 Of the 143 native languages in Mexico, 60 are at risk of being silenced forever, linguists say. One language, Ayapenaco, is spoken fluently by just two elderly menwho aren't even on speaking terms. Another indigenous language, Kiliwa, is spoken by only 36 people. While 60 of Mexico's native tongues are at risk, 21 are critically endangered, with only a few elderly speakers left, according to a statement released recently by Mexico's Centre of Research and Higher Studies in Social Anthropology (CIESAS). (Read about vanishing languages in National Geographic magazine.) The languages most at risk in Mexico—including the Zapotec, the Chatino, and the Seri tongues—are undergoing "rapid change" for a number of reasons, says Lourdes de León Pasquel, a linguist at CIESAS. Among them are "migration, social instability, [and] economic and ideological factors that push speakers to adopt Spanish."

And if you have any other questions, please send them to uta2014institute at gmail.com. (I would be happy to help you, but I'm not actually involved in organizing CoLang, though I'll be an instructor there- I'm just forwarding their e-mails to the ILAT list by request). But if I understand your question, and if I understand how this will work at CoLang.... the field methods language is only for the 4 week field methods part (the practicum). The two weeks of workshops are actually separate from the 4 week practicum; you can do only the 2 week workshops without doing the field methods language practicum. But if you do the field methods, whatever language you choose has no affect on what you do during the workshops. But, you'll get a better and official answer from the folks at UTA, so I would go by what they say.

Statistics on indigenous languages in the United States indicate that of the 175 Native American languages still spoken nationwide, 125 will lose their last native speakers by 2024. The majority of non-dominant language speakers – including Ngigua, Apache, Yoremi and Wixrarika – struggle to maintain native speakers due, in part, to restrictive state and federal languages policies, especially in schools. Recently, the College of Education featured the efforts and initiatives of two programs working to bring attention to indigenous languages and indigenous language instruction within communities and schools: Project Scholarships for Economic and Educational Development, *Project SEED*, and the *American Indian Language Development Institute* .

Linguistics Help Pinpoint Pepper's Origins (fwd link) Message-ID: *Chili Say What? Linguistics Help Pinpoint Pepper's Origins* by APRIL FULTON April 17, 2014 2:52 PM ET Count us among those who just can't get enough chili pepper news. These spicy fruits are beloved around the world for their ability to sex up nearly any cuisine. They're the world's most widely grown spice crop, so it's hard to imagine that their reach was once limited to the early farmers in what is now eastern Mexico. Now we know just a little bit more about where they came from, thanks to archaeologists using paleobiolinguistics — namely, studying ancient languages for words that mean pepper — along with the more traditional ways of figuring out how and where plants are domesticated. To sleuth a crop's origins, scientists typically use plants' genetic makeup in geographic areas with the most diversity and where they have found archaeological remains. This study added linguistics — "the earliest linguistic evidence that a cultivated chili pepper existed" — to the mix, according to an international team of researchers led by University of California, Davis plant scientist Paul Gepts. They also modeled the areas most environmentally suitable to the plants and their ancestors. ​ Access full article below: ​ http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/04/17/304139132/chili-say-what-linguistics-help-pinpoint-peppers-origins -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Alaska House of Representatives approved the language bill 38-0 last week, but it had been bottled up in the Senate until 3 a.m. Monday. The measure identifies a host of Native languages as official, though the bill does not require the state to print ballots or take any other official action in the varied aboriginal tongues of Alaska.

Have you ever felt excluded for speaking your own language in another country? Imagine if that happened in your homeland. Millions of Latin Americans --especially those of indigenous descent-- who speak a language other than Spanish or Portuguese face this linguistic exclusion every day. This exclusion extends to other areas of life, including those of employment, health, education, and of course, in the social sphere. ​Access full article below: http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2014/04/16/discriminados-por-hablar-su-idioma-natal-peru-quechua ​ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Nonetheless, linguists are working to preserve what's left in a digital archive. Documents from the 1960s and 70s are being scanned to ensure Aboriginal communities retain a core part of their identity. Thomas Oriti reports. THOMAS ORITI: This is the Yandruwandha language from the north-east corner of South Australia, spoken by Benny Kerwin. (Sound of Benny Kerwin speaking Yandruwandha language) He died in 1976 and was the last living speaker of the language. Gavan Breen began documenting Aboriginal languages like Yandruwandha across South Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland in the 1960s. GAVAN BREEN: Pretty well all of the languages I worked on have no speakers left now. People in some places are trying to learn a bit. Some of them were already gone before I started. It was 1967 I did my first field trip.

But the holiday job turned into a vocation. Beginning in 1967 and continuing for over a decade, linguist Gavan Breen recorded at least 49 Indigenous languages across three states - work conducted for the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies, now the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Studies (AIATSIS) in Canberra.

Lee 4/23/14 Senate Committee on Indian Affairs Chairman Jon Tester, D-Montana, introduced the Native Language Immersion Student Achievement Act in January. If passed, the legislation would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to create a grant program that would make an additional $5 million available to improve the academic achievement of American Indian children by supporting the revitalization and preservation of Native American languages through language immersion programs. The legislation has been referred to Tester's committee. Currently, federal funding for language immersion derives from legislation that includes the Esther Martinez Native American Languages Preservation Act. Language immersion schools have proved to be enormously beneficial for young learners’ academics. To quote Dr. Janine Pease-Pretty on Top, Crow, founding president of Little Big Horn College, “Solid data from the Navajo, Blackfeet and Assiniboine immersion schools experience indicates that the language immersion students experience greater success in school, measured by consistent improvement on local and national measures of achievement.” Early childhood language immersion programs must be adapted to the cultural and financial resources available. Here are some examples of how educators have done that. ​ Access full article below: http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2014/04/23/preserving-culture-6-early-childhood-language-immersion-programs-154519 ​ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Eatoni has just released our “Human Calculator” iOS app in 162 languages, including quite a few that may be of interest to readers of this list. I’m hoping that this app can find some use in language revitalization/immersive language studies. The idea being that even in math class, one can practice the language, and think about how the language represents numbers and what that might mean more generally for the world view inherent in the language. Would love some feedback on this idea. A selected list of languages most likely to be of interest to this group is attached below, with links to the regional app stores where they can be found. The full list is in the attached press kit. If you’re interested in having us do a version in a language you care about which is not yet supported, let’s talk about that. In brief: The Human Calculator displays numbers using a combination of digits and words, as in everyday speech, giving it expressive power. It’s where mathematics meets language. It’s a calculator for the rest of us—students or non-scientists who haven’t used scientific notation since high school. It thinks about numbers like you do—only better. More in the attached pdf.

As you can see from the attached copy this is a history journal that more often focuses on battles rather than things like what happened to languages. Discussing with the journal, they are willing to publish things that include current revitalization efforts as long as there is history too. However, I also edit a monograph series, and that series could use articles on current language revitalization efforts. If you go to http://nau.edu/til and click on "books" on the menu bar you can see/read our monographs. We are working on a new monograph right now.

We don't have a Linguistics Department per se, we have a Linguistics graduate program, which Anna Luisa linked to. There is no undergraduate degree in Linguistics here. The MA program is either for Hispanic Linguistics or Applied Linguistics (the latter involves many researchers at the CELE, the center for foreign language teaching), while the PhD is more open to topics related to indigenous language studies. The Anthropology graduate program is less focused on linguistics than the Linguistics one. There is also a Mesoamerican Studies graduate program that involves language classes (Classical Nahuatl and Yucatec Maya) as well as some basic linguistics and philology classes. In addition to these programs, there is also the master's and PhD program at CIESAS in Mexico City/San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas ( http://www.ciesas.edu.mx/) -- this is where Mario Chavez works. This department is geared towards training native speaker linguists. There is also the PhD program in Linguistics at the Colegio de México in Mexico City (http://cell.colmex.mx/). There are also various linguistics programs in other universities in Mexico, such as the linguistics department at the Universidad de Sonora in Hermosillo ( http://www.letrasylinguistica.uson.mx/). There are other programs, but they are a bit smaller in terms of the number of faculty. Finally, the ENAH (the National School of Anthropology and History) has linguistics programs at various levels (BA, MA and PhD) ( http://www.enah.edu.mx/) and the campus is very close to the UNAM in Mexico City. If you or your friends or colleagues have any other specific questions regarding linguistics programs in Mexico, please do not hesitate to email me off-list with more specific questions. I would be more than happy to help and could even put your friends or colleagues in touch with some of my friends and students, some of whom are studying their own languages. They could provide specific information regarding their experiences.

And just to follow up on the the scholarship question, for the UNAM graduate programs, if students meet the minimum requirements and at the time of beginning studies do not have a full time job, they are eligible for scholarships that last for the duration of the time they are taking the required classes. I believe that the Colegio de México and CIESAS also give scholarships to their graduate students. Additionally, it would be worth looking into the Linguistics program at the University of Texas at Austin. Mexican students can also get scholarships from CONACyT (like the Mexican NSF) to study at graduate programs in other parts of the world, including the U.S. and Canada. I believe that the Ford fellowships that once existed for indigenous students in Mexico are no longer available.

In the Sydney suburb of La Perouse, charity organisation First Hand Solutions is convinced it has part of the answer.* By Ella Archibald-Binge Nestled on the headland of Botany Bay, the La Perouse community has not been protected from the issues plaguing much of Indigenous Australia. Peter Cooley of charity organisation First Hand Solutions said the community had a lot to tackle. "We've seen our youth in and out of juvenile detention centres and sadly we've experienced our young people committing suicide," he said. "I'm a big believer, through my experience of working with youth, that it's this dispossession of culture that is playing a part there somewhere." A new report by the University of New South Wales supported Mr Cooley's theory. ​Access full article below: http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2014/04/25/culture-key-aboriginal-youth​ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is hard for people to uproot their family to attend university, especially if they need to leave their territory, the very home of the language they want to revitalize. I think the Master's program in Indigenous Language Revitalization at the University of Victoria tries to find a middle ground with that. The first summer, the students need to be in Victoria for one month. After that, the students return home (to teach, work with fluent speakers, raise families, etc) and every two months, they travel back to Victoria for 6 days to do course work. For the rest of the time, I believe that they interact with their professors and fellow students online and other modes of communication. I'm not affiliated with this program, but UVic is my Alma mater and I know many of the wonderful people who are part of UVic's Indigenous Education Program!

But on a frigid day earlier this year, two linguists turned the living room of her high-rise apartment in north Toronto into a sort of television studio in order to document Ms. Jayman’s endangered language. Ms. Jayman, who is in her 80s, grew up speaking the creole language in the central Sri Lankan town of Kegalle, and she is one of roughly 40,000 Sri Lankan Malay speakers worldwide, and some 1,000 in the Greater Toronto Area. In a lively and loose interview with linguist Mohammad Jaffar, another native Sri Lankan Malay speaker, Ms. Jayman fielded questions on the language’s uncertain future as a camera recorded the session. “Zouriya felt that we were truly the last generation of full native speakers,” Mr. Jaffar, 78, said, interpreting Ms. Jayman’s answers into English. “Later generations, she felt, showed a regrettable lack of interest and no enthusiasm for speaking in Sri Lankan Malay.” With no codified spelling system and a general community apathy toward preservation, the language’s prospects for survival are grim. ​Access full article below: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/linguists-struggling-to-preserve-endangered-immigrant-languages-in-toronto/article18062943/ ​ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

While the continent of Europe has three main language families — Romance, Germanic, and Slavic — Native American languages can be grouped into about 30 language families. One of the largest, with languages that at one time covered an area reaching all the way from New England to the Rocky Mountains, is the Algonquian family. Algonquian languages are still spoken in Canada and the northern U.S. Two of them — Cree and Ojibwa — are estimated to have over 50,000 speakers. But even the healthiest native languages need active support to ensure their survival. The goal of the Algonquian Linguistic Atlas is "to make sure that the beautiful Algonquian languages and the cultures they embody will be heard and spoken by many more generations to come." It isn't just a repository of words and stories though. It is organized in a way that lets you explore the similarities and differences between the languages, and see how they are distributed by place. ​ Access full article below: http://theweek.com/article/index/260606/fun-with-the-interactive-algonquian-language-map ​ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Allow me to talk up the LINGUIST List for a moment. Our website has some of this type of information, such as linguistics programs by subfield. If you search the site for resources on language documentation, for instance, you get 61 linguistc programs: http://linguistlist.org/search/search-all-static.cfm?LF=7201. Unfortunately, the format is rather outdated and could certainly stand improvement. We're working on building a new website that is easier to search and browse (preview it here: http://new.linguistlist.org/). If you are building a new site to list linguistic resources, LINGUIST might be a place you could draw from.

INTRODUCTION The 4th International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC), “Enriching Theory, Practice, & Application,” will be held February 26-March 1, 2015, at the Ala Moana Hotel in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. The conference is hosted by the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa and is sponsored in part by the US National Science Foundation. The program for this 3 ½ day conference will feature two keynote talks, an integrated series of Master Classes on the documentation of linguistic structures, and a series of Sponsored Special Sessions on pedagogy in language conservation. An optional Hilo Field Study (on the Big Island of Hawai‘i) to visit Hawaiian language revitalization programs in action will immediately follow the conference. The theme of the 4th ICLDC, “Enriching Theory, Practice, and Application,” highlights the need to strengthen the links between language documentation (practice), deep understanding of grammatical structure (theory), and methods for teaching endangered languages (application). At this conference, we intend to focus on language documentation as the investigation of grammar and linguistic structure on the one hand, and the development of that investigation into sound pedagogy for endangered languages on the other. We hope you will join us. For more information and links to past conferences, visit our conference website: http://icldc-hawaii.org/ 1. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: GENERAL CONFERENCE TALKS, POSTERS, AND ELECTRONIC POSTERS Proposal deadline: August 31, 2014 Topics We especially welcome abstracts that address the conference theme, “Enriching Theory, Practice, & Application.” Discipline-wide reflection on the relationship between the documentation of grammatical structure and language pedagogy is crucial if the proper documentation and conservation of endangered languages is to be effective. Our aim here is two-fold: to create citizen scientists who can reflect on their language for the purpose of teaching and documenting without being hindered by metalanguage, and to enrich the contributions of linguists to linguistic theory and description via documentation. We are also seeking abstracts on the science of documentation and revitalization. Documentation is usually portrayed as a means of collecting language data, and revitalization is generally seen primarily as a kind of applied work directly benefiting communities. However, each of those domains is a genuine area of research, and we welcome presentations that treat documentation and revitalization not merely as activities, but also as domains requiring discussion, clarification, and theorization in their own right. In addition to the topics above, we warmly welcome abstracts on other subjects in language documentation and conservation, which may include but are not limited to: - Archiving matters - Community experiences of revitalization - Data management - Ethical issues - Language planning - Lexicography and grammar design - Methods of assessing ethnolinguistic vitality - Orthography design - Teaching/learning small languages - Technology in documentation – methods and pitfalls - Topics in areal language documentation - Training in documentation methods – beyond the university - Assessing success in documentation and revitalization strategies Presentation formats Papers will be allowed 20 minutes for presentation with 10 minutes of question time. Posters will be on display throughout the day of presentation. Poster presentations will run during the early afternoon. Poster presentations are recommended for authors who wish to present smaller, more specific topics, or descriptions of particular projects. Electronic posters (e-posters) are opportunities for presentations of software, websites, and other computer-based projects, in an environment that allows face-to-face interaction with the audience. Similar to a traditional poster session, e-poster presenters will use their own laptop computers to display their projects while the audience walks around, watching demonstrations and asking questions. E-poster sessions will take place in the early afternoon in a room with tables and internet access. 2. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: NSF-SUPPORTED SPECIAL SESSIONS ON PEDAGOGY IN LANGUAGE CONSERVATION Proposal deadline: May 31, 2014 Special Session Topics and Format This year, we are inviting proposals for a series of four Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation. Each session will contain four talks and will be focused on a theme relating to the notion of pedagogy for endangered language teaching. Endangered language teaching in the language community is often informed by only the most generic of language pedagogies, and language teachers are often frustrated by the lack of methodologies that go beyond short conversation, basic vocabulary, and constructions that can be taught by methods like Total Physical Response (e.g., Asher 1969). Compounding the problem, these same trained teachers may not have enough linguistic knowledge of the subject language to develop robust teaching materials and programs, while linguists with command of linguistic structure may not have the teaching training required to properly educate students or inform language teachers. In the past we have followed the “Ken Hale” model of training endangered language speakers in linguistics. We have created reference grammars and pedagogical grammars, and most documentation projects include some component for creating teaching materials. What is still lacking from the discipline is a systematic discussion of how to transform documentary materials like annotated corpora and reference grammars into an effective pedagogical workflow for endangered languages (e.g., reference grammar to pedagogical grammar to teaching materials to pedagogical methods to assessment of teaching programs). There is a disconnect between linguistic theory and pedagogical theory, and we aim to bridge this gap during these Special Sessions. Each Special Session on Pedagogy in Language Conservation will consist of four 20-minute presentation slots, with each slot to be followed by a 10 minute question period. One Special Session will occur each day of the conference in the same room and time. A total of four Special Sessions will be invited to present at the ICLDC. Successful proposals will be thematically unified on a particular aspect of pedagogy in language conservation. These may include, but are not limited to: - Acquisition: What can L1 and L2 acquisition studies teach us that is relevant for developing classroom materials and curricula? - Teaching methods: What language teaching methods and activities can be brought to endangered language teachers to enhance language learning and retention? - Understanding and conveying complex grammar: What specific activities in the classroom could be used to teach higher level constructions (e.g., complex clauses, information structure, or particle use)? - Assessment: How can we properly assess teaching programs for radically less commonly taught languages? NSF Support details Thanks to generous support from the US National Science Foundation Documenting Endangered Languages Program, we are able to offer sponsorship in the form of travel assistance in the amount of US$2400 for each selected Special Session. The organizer of each Session will determine how that sum is to be divided among the speakers and will inform the ICLDC Executive Committee; depending on each circumstance, funds will be provided as (partial) flight reimbursements, hotel nights, or per diem payments (to be determined by the ICLDC Executive Committee). 3. ABSTRACT SUBMISSION Rules for submission in all categories: - Abstracts should be submitted in English, but presentations can be in any language. We particularly welcome presentations in languages of the region discussed. - Authors may submit no more than one individual and one co-authored proposal (including participation in a Special Session proposal), or no more than two co-authored proposals. In no case may an author submit more than one individually-authored proposal. - Proposals for the sponsored Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation are due by May 31, 2014, with notification of acceptance by June 30, 2014. - Proposals for general papers, posters, and electronic posters are due by August 31, 2014, with notification of acceptance by October 1, 2014. - Individual authors whose proposals for the Special Sessions are rejected are welcome to submit their abstracts individually to the call for general proposals. - We will not be accepting any proposals for panel presentations or colloquia beyond the Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation. - Because of limited space, please note that the Abstract Review Committee may ask that some general abstracts submitted as papers be presented as posters or electronic posters instead. - Selected authors will be invited to submit their conference papers to the journal Language Documentation & Conservation for publication. How to prepare your proposal: - For Special Session proposals: Special session organizers must submit their proposal on behalf of the authors included in the session. We ask the organizer to prepare an abstract of no more than 400 words for the Special Session as a whole, and to also submit abstracts of no more than 400 words for each paper in the Session. We also ask for a 50-word summary of the Special Session and of each paper in the session for inclusion in the conference program. All abstracts will be submitted to blind peer review by international experts on the topic. - For proposals for general papers, posters, and electronic posters: We ask for abstracts of no more than 400 words for online publication so that conference participants will have a good idea of the content of your paper, and a 50-word summary for inclusion in the conference program. All abstracts will be submitted to blind peer review by international experts on the topic. - To facilitate blind peer review, please DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR NAME OR AFFILIATION in your abstract or filename. Your proposal should only include your presentation title, abstract, and list of references (if applicable). - If you are including references/citations to your own work in your abstract, please be sure to replace your name(s) with "Author". For example, if you are Ted Smith and you wrote an article in 2009, which you are citing in your file (i.e., Smith (2009) ), you would change it to "Author (2009)." If you are including a list of references at the end, also make sure to anonymize any of your publications similarly as well. - Please note that your reference list is not counted in your 400-word abstract maximum, only the main abstract text. - Please save your abstract as an MS WORD DOCUMENT or PDF FILE. MS Word is preferred. However, if you are using special fonts, special characters, or diagrams in your abstract, a PDF file is recommended to make sure it displays as you intend. - For a FILE NAME, use an abbreviated version of your title. For example, if your presentation title is "Revitalizing Hawaiian for the next generation: Social media tools," your filename might be "Revitalizing_Hawaiian.doc" or "Revitalizing_Hawaiian_social_media.pdf" To submit an online proposal, visit http://www.icldc4.icldc-hawaii.org and click on "Call For Proposals." Proposal review criteria - Appropriateness of the Topic: Does the paper/poster address the themes of the conference or Special Session? - Presentation: Is the abstract well-written? Does it suggest that the paper/poster will be well organized and clearly presented? - Importance of the Topic: Is this an important topic within the area? Is the paper/poster likely to make an original contribution to knowledge in the field? Will it stimulate discussion? - Contribution to the discipline: For talks, does the presentation make a methodological or theoretical contribution to the discipline? If not (e.g., project descriptions), could the presentation be submitted as a poster or electronic poster? 4.

Dillon, (Anishinaabe), Michael Levy, and John Rieder. In the last decade and a half, a number of scholars have explored the way that SF throughout the last century and a half has borne a close relationship to colonial, and later postcolonial history, discourses, and ideologies. One of the most prominent features of colonial ideology in SF has been the widespread assumption that the future will be determined by the technological and cultural dominance of the West, the ?progress? of which often entails the assumption that non-Western cultures will either disappear or assimilate themselves to Western norms. Indigenous Futurism designates a growing movement of writing, both fictional and critical, that envisions the future from the point of view of Indigenous histories, traditions, and knowledges?and in so doing situates the present and the past in ways that challenge (neo/post)colonial ideologies of progress. This special issue of Extrapolation aims to bring together critical and scholarly explorations of and responses to fictional or theoretical and critical work in or on Indigenous SF, where SF is broadly conceived of as including science fiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, and slipstream. Topics might include but are not limited to: * fictional and theoretical confrontations of Western science and Indigenous knowledges * use of Indigenous traditions in fiction or theory to envision a sustainable future * responses to and evaluation of Indigenously-inflected SF in any medium from any geographic location * representation and use of Indigenous traditions in classic SF texts * Indigeneity and SF adventure fiction, Indigeneity and space opera, Indigeneity and the New Weird * challenges of publishing and distributing Indigenous Futurism We invite submissions of 5,000-12,000 words to John Rieder ( rieder at hawaii.edu) by April 1, 2015.

Berez) Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 09:37:19 -1000 Subject: Call for Proposals: 4th International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation, Honolulu, Feb 26-Mar 1 2015 Message-ID: 4TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE DOCUMENTATION & CONSERVATION CALL FOR PROPOSALS: General papers, posters, electronic posters and Sponsored Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation Please read carefully as some information has changed since last year. INTRODUCTION The 4th International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC), ?Enriching Theory, Practice, & Application,? will be held February 26-March 1, 2015, at the Ala Moana Hotel in Honolulu, Hawai?i. The conference is hosted by the University of Hawai?i at Manoa and is sponsored in part by the US National Science Foundation. The program for this 3 ? day conference will feature an integrated series of Master Classes on the documentation of linguistic structures, and a series of Sponsored Special Sessions on pedagogy in language conservation. An optional Hilo Field Study (on the Big Island of Hawai?i) to visit Hawaiian language revitalization programs in action will immediately follow the conference. The theme of the 4th ICLDC, ?Enriching Theory, Practice, and Application,? highlights the need to strengthen the links between language documentation (practice), deep understanding of grammatical structure (theory), and methods for teaching endangered languages (application). At this conference, we intend to focus on language documentation as the investigation of grammar and linguistic structure on the one hand, and the development of that investigation into sound pedagogy for endangered languages on the other. We hope you will join us. For more information and links to past conferences, visit our conference website: http://icldc-hawaii.org/ 1. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: REGULAR CONFERENCE TALKS, POSTERS, AND ELECTRONIC POSTERS Proposal deadline: August 31, 2014 Topics We especially welcome abstracts that address the conference theme, ?Enriching Theory, Practice, & Application.? Discipline-wide reflection on the relationship between the documentation of grammatical structure and language pedagogy is crucial if the proper documentation and conservation of endangered languages is to be effective. Our aim here is two-fold: to create citizen scientists who can reflect on their language for the purpose of teaching and documenting without being hindered by metalanguage, and to enrich the contributions of linguists to linguistic theory and description via documentation. We are also seeking abstracts on the science of documentation and revitalization. Documentation is usually portrayed as a means of collecting language data, and revitalization is generally seen primarily as a kind of applied work directly benefiting communities. However, each of those domains is a genuine area of research, and we welcome presentations that treat documentation and revitalization not merely as activities, but also as domains requiring discussion, clarification, and theorization in their own right. In addition to the topics above, we warmly welcome abstracts on other subjects in language documentation and conservation, which may include but are not limited to: - Archiving matters - Community experiences of revitalization - Data management - Ethical issues - Language planning - Lexicography and grammar design - Methods of assessing ethnolinguistic vitality - Orthography design - Teaching/learning small languages - Technology in documentation ? methods and pitfalls - Topics in areal language documentation - Training in documentation methods ? beyond the university - Assessing success in documentation and revitalization strategies Presentation formats Papers will be allowed 20 minutes for presentation with 10 minutes of question time. Posters will be on display throughout the day of presentation. Poster presentations will run during the early afternoon. Poster presentations are recommended for authors who wish to present smaller, more specific topics, or descriptions of particular projects. Electronic posters (e-posters) are opportunities for presentations of software, websites, and other computer-based projects, in an environment that allows face-to-face interaction with the audience. Similar to a traditional poster session, e-poster presenters will use their own laptop computers to display their projects while the audience walks around, watching demonstrations and asking questions. E-poster sessions will take place in the early afternoon in a room with tables and internet access. 2. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: SPONSORED SPECIAL SESSIONS ON PEDAGOGY IN LANGUAGE CONSERVATION Proposal deadline: May 31, 2014 Special Session Topics and Format This year, we are inviting proposals for a series of four Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation. Each session will contain four talks and will be focused on a theme relating to the notion of pedagogy for endangered language teaching. Endangered language teaching in the language community is often informed by only the most generic of language pedagogies, and language teachers are often frustrated by the lack of methodologies that go beyond short conversation, basic vocabulary, and constructions that can be taught by methods like Total Physical Response (e.g., Asher 1969). Compounding the problem, these same trained teachers may not have enough linguistic knowledge of the subject language to develop robust teaching materials and programs, while linguists with command of linguistic structure may not have the teaching training required to properly educate students or inform language teachers. In the past we have followed the ?Ken Hale? model of training endangered language speakers in linguistics. We have created reference grammars and pedagogical grammars, and most documentation projects include some component for creating teaching materials. What is still lacking from the discipline is a systematic discussion of how to transform documentary materials like annotated corpora and reference grammars into an effective pedagogical workflow for endangered languages (e.g., reference grammar to pedagogical grammar to teaching materials to pedagogical methods to assessment of teaching programs). There is a disconnect between linguistic theory and pedagogical theory, and we aim to bridge this gap during these Special Sessions. Each Special Session on Pedagogy in Language Conservation will consist of four 20-minute presentation slots, with each slot to be followed by a 10 minute question period. One Special Session will occur each day of the conference in the same room and time. A total of four Special Sessions will be invited to present at the ICLDC. Successful proposals will be thematically unified on a particular aspect of pedagogy in language conservation. These may include, but are not limited to: - Acquisition: What can L1 and L2 acquisition studies teach us that is relevant for developing classroom materials and curricula? - Teaching methods: What language teaching methods and activities can be brought to endangered language teachers to enhance language learning and retention? - Understanding and conveying complex grammar: What specific activities in the classroom could be used to teach higher level constructions (e.g., complex clauses, information structure, or particle use)? - Assessment: How can we properly assess teaching programs for radically less commonly taught languages? Sponsorship details Thanks to generous support from the US National Science Foundation, we are able to offer sponsorship in the form of travel assistance in the amount of US$2400 for each selected Special Session. The organizer of each Session will determine how that sum is to be divided among the speakers and will inform the ICLDC Executive Committee; depending on each circumstance, funds will be provided as (partial) flight reimbursements, hotel nights, or per diem payments (to be determined by the ICLDC Executive Committee). 3. ABSTRACT SUBMISSION Rules for submission in all categories: - Abstracts should be submitted in English, but presentations can be in any language. We particularly welcome presentations in languages of the region discussed. - Authors may submit no more than one individual and one co-authored proposal (including participation in a Special Session proposal), or no more than two co-authored proposals. In no case may an author submit more than one individually-authored proposal. - Proposals for the sponsored Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation are due by May 31, 2014, with notification of acceptance by June 30, 2014. - Proposals for general papers, posters, and electronic posters are due by August 31, 2014, with notification of acceptance by October 1, 2014. - Individual authors whose proposals for the Special Sessions are rejected are welcome to submit their abstracts individually to the call for general proposals. - We will not be accepting any proposals for panel presentations or colloquia beyond the Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation. - Because of limited space, please note that the Abstract Review Committee may ask that some general abstracts submitted as papers be presented as posters or electronic posters instead. - Selected authors will be invited to submit their conference papers to the journal Language Documentation & Conservation for publication. How to prepare your proposal: - For Special Session proposals: Special session organizers must submit their proposal on behalf of the authors included in the session. We ask the organizer to prepare an abstract of no more than 400 words for the Special Session as a whole, and to also submit abstracts of no more than 400 words for each paper in the Session. We also ask for a 50-word summary of the Special Session and of each paper in the session for inclusion in the conference program. All abstracts will be submitted to blind peer review by international experts on the topic. - For proposals for general papers, posters, and electronic posters: We ask for abstracts of no more than 400 words for online publication so that conference participants will have a good idea of the content of your paper, and a 50-word summary for inclusion in the conference program. All abstracts will be submitted to blind peer review by international experts on the topic. - To facilitate blind peer review, please DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR NAME OR AFFILIATION in your abstract or filename. Your proposal should only include your presentation title, abstract, and list of references (if applicable). - If you are including references/citations to your own work in your abstract, please be sure to replace your name(s) with "Author". For example, if you are Ted Smith and you wrote an article in 2009, which you are citing in your file (i.e., Smith (2009) ), you would change it to "Author (2009)." If you are including a list of references at the end, also make sure to anonymize any of your publications similarly as well. - Please note that your reference list is not counted in your 400-word abstract maximum, only the main abstract text. - Please save your abstract as an MS WORD DOCUMENT or PDF FILE. MS Word is preferred. However, if you are using special fonts, special characters, or diagrams in your abstract, a PDF file is recommended to make sure it displays as you intend. - For a FILE NAME, use an abbreviated version of your title. For example, if your presentation title is "Revitalizing Hawaiian for the next generation: Social media tools," your filename might be "Revitalizing_Hawaiian.doc" or "Revitalizing_Hawaiian_social_media.pdf" To submit an online proposal, visit http://www.icldc4.icldc-hawaii.org and click on "Call For Proposals." Proposal review criteria - Appropriateness of the Topic: Does the paper/poster address the themes of the conference or Special Session? - Presentation: Is the abstract well-written? Does it suggest that the paper/poster will be well organized and clearly presented? - Importance of the Topic: Is this an important topic within the area? Is the paper/poster likely to make an original contribution to knowledge in the field? Will it stimulate discussion? - Contribution to the discipline: For talks, does the presentation make a methodological or theoretical contribution to the discipline? If not (e.g., project descriptions), could the presentation be submitted as a poster or electronic poster? 4.

April 10-11, 2014 at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK What goes in a dictionary? How can community members come up with new words in your language? How can dictionaries be used to help learners and set up language lessons for teaching? The workshop will focus on learning a free dictionary-making software (FLEx- Fieldworks Language Explorer). A number of tribes have used FLEx to create online dictionaries with audio and pictures or to create bilingual stories. Local languages will be used in the training materials for the workshop.

Sitting in a circle in a classroom at Eureka High School here, Tenayah Norris and a half-dozen other students were learning how to express direction in Yurok, a Native American language that nearly became extinct a few years ago. Growing up on the Yurok reservation about 90 minutes north of here, she sometimes heard her grandfather speak it to his contemporaries, and she studied it, on and off, in the community. ?But it?s starting to click faster for me now,? said Tenayah, a 15-year-old with pink hair and a bright smile. ?I?m glad it?s here ? otherwise, I?d have to go somewhere else to take classes.? Her goal is to go to college and eventually teach the language. ?We need more fluent speakers,? she said. ?We?re getting more, which would be nice to speed up.? Eureka began offering Yurok two years ago, bringing to four the number of public high schools in Northern California where the language is taught. Two public elementary schools also offer it, including one as part of a new immersion program. ?

There are at least 6 million indigenous people who are speaking an indigenous language in Mexico, including approximately 1.6 million people who speak Nahuatl and 796,000 Mayan speakers. While these larger groups are gaining some momentum, with more and more books and literature being produced in the languages, others are in danger. In late March, Mexican scholars were quoted as saying that of the country's 143 Native languages, 21 are in critical danger of disappearing, meaning that they have less than 200 speakers. Among the most critical are Kiliwa of Baja California that has 36 speakers, and Ayapaneco from Tabasco that is spoken by two adults. ?Access full article below: http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2014/04/14/fighting-extinction-story-indigenous-mexican-languages-154431 ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(fwd link) Message-ID: *Sixty Languages at Risk of Extinction in Mexico?Can They Be Kept Alive?* Online dictionaries and smartphones may help with preservation, experts say. Christine Dell'Amore National Geographic PUBLISHED APRIL 10, 2014 Of the 143 native languages in Mexico, 60 are at risk of being silenced forever, linguists say. One language, Ayapenaco, is spoken fluently by just two elderly menwho aren't even on speaking terms. Another indigenous language, Kiliwa, is spoken by only 36 people. While 60 of Mexico's native tongues are at risk, 21 are critically endangered, with only a few elderly speakers left, according to a statement released recently by Mexico's Centre of Research and Higher Studies in Social Anthropology (CIESAS). (Read about vanishing languages in National Geographic magazine.) The languages most at risk in Mexico?including the Zapotec, the Chatino, and the Seri tongues?are undergoing "rapid change" for a number of reasons, says Lourdes de Le?n Pasquel, a linguist at CIESAS. Among them are "migration, social instability, [and] economic and ideological factors that push speakers to adopt Spanish."

Full information is online athttp://tinyurl.com/colang2014 or inquiries may be sent touta2014institute at gmail.com for more information. CoLang 2014 scholarship notices, from the Linguistic Society of American and the internal awards given by the local organizers at UT Arlington, have started going out. All four field methods languages have been finalized: Alabama (Muskogean; [akz]) with Dr. Mary Linn; Apoala Mixtec (Otomanguean; [mip]; note this section will requires Spanish proficiency to work with the Mixtec speakers) with Dr. Christian DiCanio; Enya (Bantu; [gey]) with Dr. Amanda Miller; and Innu (Algonquian; [moe]) with Dr. Monica Macauley. Seats are still available in all four sections. We encourage participants to consider registering as early as possible, since some of our workshops are already nearing enrollment caps. Early bird registration prices have been extended to April 30. (A deposit of $150 is allowed if paying by credit card.) All costs must be paid in full by that date in order to stay registered in the selected courses and not incur additional costs. The registration site is currently open at http://tinyurl.com/Register4CoLang. The early bird registration fee is $750 for the two weeks workshop. If a field methods course is added, the six weeks sessions costs $2250 in fees. Note that housing, food and travel are not included in registration costs.

And if you have any other questions, please send them to uta2014institute at gmail.com. (I would be happy to help you, but I'm not actually involved in organizing CoLang, though I'll be an instructor there- I'm just forwarding their e-mails to the ILAT list by request). But if I understand your question, and if I understand how this will work at CoLang.... the field methods language is only for the 4 week field methods part (the practicum). The two weeks of workshops are actually separate from the 4 week practicum; you can do only the 2 week workshops without doing the field methods language practicum. But if you do the field methods, whatever language you choose has no affect on what you do during the workshops. But, you'll get a better and official answer from the folks at UTA, so I would go by what they say.

Statistics on indigenous languages in the United States indicate that of the 175 Native American languages still spoken nationwide, 125 will lose their last native speakers by 2024. The majority of non-dominant language speakers ? including Ngigua, Apache, Yoremi and Wixrarika ? struggle to maintain native speakers due, in part, to restrictive state and federal languages policies, especially in schools. Recently, the College of Education featured the efforts and initiatives of two programs working to bring attention to indigenous languages and indigenous language instruction within communities and schools: Project Scholarships for Economic and Educational Development, *Project SEED*, and the *American Indian Language Development Institute* .

Linguistics Help Pinpoint Pepper's Origins* by APRIL FULTON April 17, 2014 2:52 PM ET Count us among those who just can't get enough chili pepper news. These spicy fruits are beloved around the world for their ability to sex up nearly any cuisine. They're the world's most widely grown spice crop, so it's hard to imagine that their reach was once limited to the early farmers in what is now eastern Mexico. Now we know just a little bit more about where they came from, thanks to archaeologists using paleobiolinguistics ? namely, studying ancient languages for words that mean pepper ? along with the more traditional ways of figuring out how and where plants are domesticated. To sleuth a crop's origins, scientists typically use plants' genetic makeup in geographic areas with the most diversity and where they have found archaeological remains. This study added linguistics ? "the earliest linguistic evidence that a cultivated chili pepper existed" ? to the mix, according to an international team of researchers led by University of California, Davis plant scientist Paul Gepts. They also modeled the areas most environmentally suitable to the plants and their ancestors. ?

The Alaska House of Representatives approved the language bill 38-0 last week, but it had been bottled up in the Senate until 3 a.m. Monday. The measure identifies a host of Native languages as official, though the bill does not require the state to print ballots or take any other official action in the varied aboriginal tongues of Alaska.

Nonetheless, linguists are working to preserve what's left in a digital archive. Documents from the 1960s and 70s are being scanned to ensure Aboriginal communities retain a core part of their identity. Thomas Oriti reports. THOMAS ORITI: This is the Yandruwandha language from the north-east corner of South Australia, spoken by Benny Kerwin. (Sound of Benny Kerwin speaking Yandruwandha language) He died in 1976 and was the last living speaker of the language. Gavan Breen began documenting Aboriginal languages like Yandruwandha across South Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland in the 1960s. GAVAN BREEN: Pretty well all of the languages I worked on have no speakers left now. People in some places are trying to learn a bit. Some of them were already gone before I started. It was 1967 I did my first field trip.

But the holiday job turned into a vocation. Beginning in 1967 and continuing for over a decade, linguist Gavan Breen recorded at least 49 Indigenous languages across three states - work conducted for the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies, now the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Studies (AIATSIS) in Canberra. Data generated from those recordings will soon be made available online, a free resource for descendants and part of an overall revival of Indigenous languages (as reported in ? this recent Australian Geographic article.) ?Access full article below: http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2014/04/23/3990567.htm?site=alicesprings ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Lee 4/23/14 Senate Committee on Indian Affairs Chairman Jon Tester, D-Montana, introduced the Native Language Immersion Student Achievement Act in January. If passed, the legislation would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to create a grant program that would make an additional $5 million available to improve the academic achievement of American Indian children by supporting the revitalization and preservation of Native American languages through language immersion programs. The legislation has been referred to Tester's committee. Currently, federal funding for language immersion derives from legislation that includes the Esther Martinez Native American Languages Preservation Act. Language immersion schools have proved to be enormously beneficial for young learners? academics. To quote Dr. Janine Pease-Pretty on Top, Crow, founding president of Little Big Horn College, ?Solid data from the Navajo, Blackfeet and Assiniboine immersion schools experience indicates that the language immersion students experience greater success in school, measured by consistent improvement on local and national measures of achievement.? Early childhood language immersion programs must be adapted to the cultural and financial resources available. Here are some examples of how educators have done that. ?

Message-ID: Eatoni has just released our ?Human Calculator? iOS app in 162 languages, including quite a few that may be of interest to readers of this list. I?m hoping that this app can find some use in language revitalization/immersive language studies. The idea being that even in math class, one can practice the language, and think about how the language represents numbers and what that might mean more generally for the world view inherent in the language. Would love some feedback on this idea. A selected list of languages most likely to be of interest to this group is attached below, with links to the regional app stores where they can be found. The full list is in the attached press kit. If you?re interested in having us do a version in a language you care about which is not yet supported, let?s talk about that. In brief: The Human Calculator displays numbers using a combination of digits and words, as in everyday speech, giving it expressive power. It?s where mathematics meets language. It?s a calculator for the rest of us?students or non-scientists who haven?t used scientific notation since high school. It thinks about numbers like you do?only better. More in the attached pdf.

As you can see from the attached copy this is a history journal that more often focuses on battles rather than things like what happened to languages. Discussing with the journal, they are willing to publish things that include current revitalization efforts as long as there is history too. However, I also edit a monograph series, and that series could use articles on current language revitalization efforts. If you go to http://nau.edu/til and click on "books" on the menu bar you can see/read our monographs. We are working on a new monograph right now.

We don't have a Linguistics Department per se, we have a Linguistics graduate program, which Anna Luisa linked to. There is no undergraduate degree in Linguistics here. The MA program is either for Hispanic Linguistics or Applied Linguistics (the latter involves many researchers at the CELE, the center for foreign language teaching), while the PhD is more open to topics related to indigenous language studies. The Anthropology graduate program is less focused on linguistics than the Linguistics one. There is also a Mesoamerican Studies graduate program that involves language classes (Classical Nahuatl and Yucatec Maya) as well as some basic linguistics and philology classes. In addition to these programs, there is also the master's and PhD program at CIESAS in Mexico City/San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas ( http://www.ciesas.edu.mx/) -- this is where Mario Chavez works. This department is geared towards training native speaker linguists. There is also the PhD program in Linguistics at the Colegio de M?xico in Mexico City (http://cell.colmex.mx/). There are also various linguistics programs in other universities in Mexico, such as the linguistics department at the Universidad de Sonora in Hermosillo ( http://www.letrasylinguistica.uson.mx/). There are other programs, but they are a bit smaller in terms of the number of faculty. Finally, the ENAH (the National School of Anthropology and History) has linguistics programs at various levels (BA, MA and PhD) ( http://www.enah.edu.mx/) and the campus is very close to the UNAM in Mexico City. If you or your friends or colleagues have any other specific questions regarding linguistics programs in Mexico, please do not hesitate to email me off-list with more specific questions. I would be more than happy to help and could even put your friends or colleagues in touch with some of my friends and students, some of whom are studying their own languages. They could provide specific information regarding their experiences.

And just to follow up on the the scholarship question, for the UNAM graduate programs, if students meet the minimum requirements and at the time of beginning studies do not have a full time job, they are eligible for scholarships that last for the duration of the time they are taking the required classes. I believe that the Colegio de M?xico and CIESAS also give scholarships to their graduate students. Additionally, it would be worth looking into the Linguistics program at the University of Texas at Austin. Mexican students can also get scholarships from CONACyT (like the Mexican NSF) to study at graduate programs in other parts of the world, including the U.S. and Canada. I believe that the Ford fellowships that once existed for indigenous students in Mexico are no longer available.

In the Sydney suburb of La Perouse, charity organisation First Hand Solutions is convinced it has part of the answer.* By Ella Archibald-Binge Nestled on the headland of Botany Bay, the La Perouse community has not been protected from the issues plaguing much of Indigenous Australia. Peter Cooley of charity organisation First Hand Solutions said the community had a lot to tackle. "We've seen our youth in and out of juvenile detention centres and sadly we've experienced our young people committing suicide," he said. "I'm a big believer, through my experience of working with youth, that it's this dispossession of culture that is playing a part there somewhere."

But on a frigid day earlier this year, two linguists turned the living room of her high-rise apartment in north Toronto into a sort of television studio in order to document Ms. Jayman?s endangered language. Ms. Jayman, who is in her 80s, grew up speaking the creole language in the central Sri Lankan town of Kegalle, and she is one of roughly 40,000 Sri Lankan Malay speakers worldwide, and some 1,000 in the Greater Toronto Area. In a lively and loose interview with linguist Mohammad Jaffar, another native Sri Lankan Malay speaker, Ms. Jayman fielded questions on the language?s uncertain future as a camera recorded the session. ?Zouriya felt that we were truly the last generation of full native speakers,? Mr. Jaffar, 78, said, interpreting Ms. Jayman?s answers into English. ?Later generations, she felt, showed a regrettable lack of interest and no enthusiasm for speaking in Sri Lankan Malay.? With no codified spelling system and a general community apathy toward preservation, the language?s prospects for survival are grim. ?Access full article below: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/linguists-struggling-to-preserve-endangered-immigrant-languages-in-toronto/article18062943/ ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

While the continent of Europe has three main language families ? Romance, Germanic, and Slavic ? Native American languages can be grouped into about 30 language families. One of the largest, with languages that at one time covered an area reaching all the way from New England to the Rocky Mountains, is the Algonquian family. Algonquian languages are still spoken in Canada and the northern U.S. Two of them ? Cree and Ojibwa ? are estimated to have over 50,000 speakers. But even the healthiest native languages need active support to ensure their survival. The goal of the Algonquian Linguistic Atlas is "to make sure that the beautiful Algonquian languages and the cultures they embody will be heard and spoken by many more generations to come." It isn't just a repository of words and stories though. It is organized in a way that lets you explore the similarities and differences between the languages, and see how they are distributed by place. ?

Allow me to talk up the LINGUIST List for a moment. Our website has some of this type of information, such as linguistics programs by subfield. If you search the site for resources on language documentation, for instance, you get 61 linguistc programs: http://linguistlist.org/search/search-all-static.cfm?LF=7201. Unfortunately, the format is rather outdated and could certainly stand improvement. We're working on building a new website that is easier to search and browse (preview it here: http://new.linguistlist.org/). If you are building a new site to list linguistic resources, LINGUIST might be a place you could draw from.

INTRODUCTION The 4th International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC), ?Enriching Theory, Practice, & Application,? will be held February 26-March 1, 2015, at the Ala Moana Hotel in Honolulu, Hawai?i. The conference is hosted by the University of Hawai?i at Manoa and is sponsored in part by the US National Science Foundation. The program for this 3 ? day conference will feature two keynote talks, an integrated series of Master Classes on the documentation of linguistic structures, and a series of Sponsored Special Sessions on pedagogy in language conservation. An optional Hilo Field Study (on the Big Island of Hawai?i) to visit Hawaiian language revitalization programs in action will immediately follow the conference. The theme of the 4th ICLDC, ?Enriching Theory, Practice, and Application,? highlights the need to strengthen the links between language documentation (practice), deep understanding of grammatical structure (theory), and methods for teaching endangered languages (application). At this conference, we intend to focus on language documentation as the investigation of grammar and linguistic structure on the one hand, and the development of that investigation into sound pedagogy for endangered languages on the other. We hope you will join us. For more information and links to past conferences, visit our conference website: http://icldc-hawaii.org/ 1. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: GENERAL CONFERENCE TALKS, POSTERS, AND ELECTRONIC POSTERS Proposal deadline: August 31, 2014 Topics We especially welcome abstracts that address the conference theme, ?Enriching Theory, Practice, & Application.? Discipline-wide reflection on the relationship between the documentation of grammatical structure and language pedagogy is crucial if the proper documentation and conservation of endangered languages is to be effective. Our aim here is two-fold: to create citizen scientists who can reflect on their language for the purpose of teaching and documenting without being hindered by metalanguage, and to enrich the contributions of linguists to linguistic theory and description via documentation. We are also seeking abstracts on the science of documentation and revitalization. Documentation is usually portrayed as a means of collecting language data, and revitalization is generally seen primarily as a kind of applied work directly benefiting communities. However, each of those domains is a genuine area of research, and we welcome presentations that treat documentation and revitalization not merely as activities, but also as domains requiring discussion, clarification, and theorization in their own right. In addition to the topics above, we warmly welcome abstracts on other subjects in language documentation and conservation, which may include but are not limited to: - Archiving matters - Community experiences of revitalization - Data management - Ethical issues - Language planning - Lexicography and grammar design - Methods of assessing ethnolinguistic vitality - Orthography design - Teaching/learning small languages - Technology in documentation ? methods and pitfalls - Topics in areal language documentation - Training in documentation methods ? beyond the university - Assessing success in documentation and revitalization strategies Presentation formats Papers will be allowed 20 minutes for presentation with 10 minutes of question time. Posters will be on display throughout the day of presentation. Poster presentations will run during the early afternoon. Poster presentations are recommended for authors who wish to present smaller, more specific topics, or descriptions of particular projects. Electronic posters (e-posters) are opportunities for presentations of software, websites, and other computer-based projects, in an environment that allows face-to-face interaction with the audience. Similar to a traditional poster session, e-poster presenters will use their own laptop computers to display their projects while the audience walks around, watching demonstrations and asking questions. E-poster sessions will take place in the early afternoon in a room with tables and internet access. 2. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: NSF-SUPPORTED SPECIAL SESSIONS ON PEDAGOGY IN LANGUAGE CONSERVATION Proposal deadline: May 31, 2014 Special Session Topics and Format This year, we are inviting proposals for a series of four Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation. Each session will contain four talks and will be focused on a theme relating to the notion of pedagogy for endangered language teaching. Endangered language teaching in the language community is often informed by only the most generic of language pedagogies, and language teachers are often frustrated by the lack of methodologies that go beyond short conversation, basic vocabulary, and constructions that can be taught by methods like Total Physical Response (e.g., Asher 1969). Compounding the problem, these same trained teachers may not have enough linguistic knowledge of the subject language to develop robust teaching materials and programs, while linguists with command of linguistic structure may not have the teaching training required to properly educate students or inform language teachers. In the past we have followed the ?Ken Hale? model of training endangered language speakers in linguistics. We have created reference grammars and pedagogical grammars, and most documentation projects include some component for creating teaching materials. What is still lacking from the discipline is a systematic discussion of how to transform documentary materials like annotated corpora and reference grammars into an effective pedagogical workflow for endangered languages (e.g., reference grammar to pedagogical grammar to teaching materials to pedagogical methods to assessment of teaching programs). There is a disconnect between linguistic theory and pedagogical theory, and we aim to bridge this gap during these Special Sessions. Each Special Session on Pedagogy in Language Conservation will consist of four 20-minute presentation slots, with each slot to be followed by a 10 minute question period. One Special Session will occur each day of the conference in the same room and time. A total of four Special Sessions will be invited to present at the ICLDC. Successful proposals will be thematically unified on a particular aspect of pedagogy in language conservation. These may include, but are not limited to: - Acquisition: What can L1 and L2 acquisition studies teach us that is relevant for developing classroom materials and curricula? - Teaching methods: What language teaching methods and activities can be brought to endangered language teachers to enhance language learning and retention? - Understanding and conveying complex grammar: What specific activities in the classroom could be used to teach higher level constructions (e.g., complex clauses, information structure, or particle use)? - Assessment: How can we properly assess teaching programs for radically less commonly taught languages? NSF Support details Thanks to generous support from the US National Science Foundation Documenting Endangered Languages Program, we are able to offer sponsorship in the form of travel assistance in the amount of US$2400 for each selected Special Session. The organizer of each Session will determine how that sum is to be divided among the speakers and will inform the ICLDC Executive Committee; depending on each circumstance, funds will be provided as (partial) flight reimbursements, hotel nights, or per diem payments (to be determined by the ICLDC Executive Committee). 3. ABSTRACT SUBMISSION Rules for submission in all categories: - Abstracts should be submitted in English, but presentations can be in any language. We particularly welcome presentations in languages of the region discussed. - Authors may submit no more than one individual and one co-authored proposal (including participation in a Special Session proposal), or no more than two co-authored proposals. In no case may an author submit more than one individually-authored proposal. - Proposals for the sponsored Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation are due by May 31, 2014, with notification of acceptance by June 30, 2014. - Proposals for general papers, posters, and electronic posters are due by August 31, 2014, with notification of acceptance by October 1, 2014. - Individual authors whose proposals for the Special Sessions are rejected are welcome to submit their abstracts individually to the call for general proposals. - We will not be accepting any proposals for panel presentations or colloquia beyond the Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation. - Because of limited space, please note that the Abstract Review Committee may ask that some general abstracts submitted as papers be presented as posters or electronic posters instead. - Selected authors will be invited to submit their conference papers to the journal Language Documentation & Conservation for publication. How to prepare your proposal: - For Special Session proposals: Special session organizers must submit their proposal on behalf of the authors included in the session. We ask the organizer to prepare an abstract of no more than 400 words for the Special Session as a whole, and to also submit abstracts of no more than 400 words for each paper in the Session. We also ask for a 50-word summary of the Special Session and of each paper in the session for inclusion in the conference program. All abstracts will be submitted to blind peer review by international experts on the topic. - For proposals for general papers, posters, and electronic posters: We ask for abstracts of no more than 400 words for online publication so that conference participants will have a good idea of the content of your paper, and a 50-word summary for inclusion in the conference program. All abstracts will be submitted to blind peer review by international experts on the topic. - To facilitate blind peer review, please DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR NAME OR AFFILIATION in your abstract or filename. Your proposal should only include your presentation title, abstract, and list of references (if applicable). - If you are including references/citations to your own work in your abstract, please be sure to replace your name(s) with "Author". For example, if you are Ted Smith and you wrote an article in 2009, which you are citing in your file (i.e., Smith (2009) ), you would change it to "Author (2009)." If you are including a list of references at the end, also make sure to anonymize any of your publications similarly as well. - Please note that your reference list is not counted in your 400-word abstract maximum, only the main abstract text. - Please save your abstract as an MS WORD DOCUMENT or PDF FILE. MS Word is preferred. However, if you are using special fonts, special characters, or diagrams in your abstract, a PDF file is recommended to make sure it displays as you intend. - For a FILE NAME, use an abbreviated version of your title. For example, if your presentation title is "Revitalizing Hawaiian for the next generation: Social media tools," your filename might be "Revitalizing_Hawaiian.doc" or "Revitalizing_Hawaiian_social_media.pdf" To submit an online proposal, visit http://www.icldc4.icldc-hawaii.org and click on "Call For Proposals." Proposal review criteria - Appropriateness of the Topic: Does the paper/poster address the themes of the conference or Special Session? - Presentation: Is the abstract well-written? Does it suggest that the paper/poster will be well organized and clearly presented? - Importance of the Topic: Is this an important topic within the area? Is the paper/poster likely to make an original contribution to knowledge in the field? Will it stimulate discussion? - Contribution to the discipline: For talks, does the presentation make a methodological or theoretical contribution to the discipline? If not (e.g., project descriptions), could the presentation be submitted as a poster or electronic poster? 4.
