Date: February 12-13, 2011<br>Location: Manoa, Hawai'i<br>Contact Person: Sebastian Nordhoff<br>Meeting Email: sebastian_nordhoff at <a href="http://eva.mpg.de">eva.mpg.de</a><br>Web Site: <a href="http://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/conference/11-grammaticography2011">http://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/conference/11-grammaticography2011</a><br>
<br>== Meeting Description ==<br><br>This colloquium will bring together field linguists, computer <br>scientists,and publishers with the aim of exploring production and <br>dissemination of grammatical descriptions in electronic/hypertextual <br>
format.<br>It will be held under the umbrella of the 2nd International conference <br>on Language Description and Documentation <br>(<a href="http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ICLDC/2011">http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ICLDC/2011</a>), allowing interested researchers to <br>
participate and present in both events. Registration for ICLDC includes <br>this colloquium.<br>The colloquium will take place on the afternoon of the 12th and the <br>morning of the 13th.<br><br>== Call for Papers ==<br>
<br>For long a step-child of lexicography, the domain of grammaticography <br>has received growing interest in the recent past, especially in what <br>concerns lesser studied languages. At least three volumes contain parts <br>
dealing with this question (Ameka et al. 2006, Gippert et al. 2006, <br>Payne & Weber 2007).<br><br>At the same time, advances in information technology mean that a number <br>of techniques become available which can present linguistic information <br>
in novel ways. This holds true for multimedial content on the one hand <br>(see e.g. Barwick & Thieberger 2007), but also so called <br>content-management-systems (CMS) provide new possibilities to develop, <br>structure and maintain linguistic information, which were unknown when <br>
the idea of an electronic grammar was first put to print in Zaefferer <br>(1998).<br><br>Recent publications in grammaticography often allude to the <br>possibilities of hypertext grammars (Weber 2006, Evans & Dench 2006), <br>
but these possibilities are only starting to get explored theoretically <br>(Good 2004, Nordhoff 2008) and in practice (Nordhoff 2007).<br><br>This conference will bring together experts on grammar writing and <br>information technology to discuss the theoretical and practical <br>
advantages hypertext grammars can offer. We invite papers dealing with <br>the arts and crafts of grammar writing in a wide sense, preferably with <br>an eye on electronic publishing. Topics of interest are:<br><br>-general formal properties of all grammatical descriptions (GDs) in <br>
general, and hypertext GDs in particular<br><br>-functional requirements for GDs and the responses of the traditional <br>and the hypertext approach (cf. Nordhoff 2008)<br><br>-discussion or presentation of implementations dealing with the media <br>
transition from book to electronic publication<br><br>-opportunities and risks of hypertext grammars<br><br>-integration with fieldwork or typological work<br><br>-treatment of a particular linguistic subfield (phonology, syntax, ...) <br>
within a hypertext description<br><br>Presentations will be 20 minutes + 10 minutes discussion.<br><br>== Invited Speakers ==<br>Nick Evans (Australian National University)<br>Christian Lehmann (Universität Erfurt)<br>Jeff Good (University of Buffalo)<br>
<br>== Submission of Abstracts ==<br>(a) Length: up to one page of text plus up to one page containing <br>possible tables and references<br><br>(b) Format: The abstract should include the title of the paper and the <br>text of<br>
the abstract but not the author's name or affiliation. The e-mail <br>message to which it is attached should list the title, the author's <br>name, and the author's affiliation. Please send the message to the <br>
following address:<br>sebastian_nordhoff AT eva DOT mpg DOT de<br><br>(c) Deadline:<br>!!Note that the deadline is now earlier than announced previously!!<br>The abstracts should reach us by THURSDAY, August 31.<br>Submitters will be notified by FRIDAY, October 01.<br>
