We have directed most of our attention on North
American institutions, since that is the primary focus of the LSA’s activities, but as you observed, we do have listings from other countries. Please let us know and we can easily create a listing for your institution which you can then populate with the appropriate
data.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">And as you say, our existing category of “Language Documentation” is not as specific as “Applied Documentation and Revitalization.” If you think we need to
add the latter as a separate category, please let me know. As I’m sure you can imagine, adding more specifics makes it that much more complex for both end-users and for those providing the information that populate the listings. We try our best to balance
these competing goals.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Best,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Alyson<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Alyson Reed<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Executive Director<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Linguistic Society of America<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">1325 18th St., NW, Suite 211<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Washington, DC 20036-6501<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">202-835-1714<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Fax: 202-835-1717<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><a href="http://www.linguisticsociety.org/">www.linguisticsociety.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Please add, or ask your institution’s IT department to add, <a href="http://lsadc.org">lsadc.org</a> to your “Safe Senders” list to ensure that you continue to receive e-mail notifications

<br>
I emailed with Alyson Reed, the Executive Director of the LSA, and she pointed out to me that the LSA’s website has a searchable directory of programs: <a href="http://www.linguisticsociety.org/resource/directory-departments-and-programs" target="_blank">http://www.linguisticsociety.org/resource/directory-departments-and-programs</a>.
If you click on the link, it takes you to a form where you can search by name of program, university, highest degree offered, and graduate program specialization. And yes indeed, “language documentation” is one of the choices. I feel dumb - I should have
known about that!<br>
<br>
However, Alyson also pointed out that the resource is only as good as the data that’s entered, and they’ve been having a very hard time getting programs to update their info. So if you’re one of the people who responded, check your department’s listing, and
have the appropriate person update it if it needs it!<br>
