Meeting Description:

LSA 2012 Pre-Conference Satellite Workshop

An LDC-hosted workshop entitled 'Satellite Workshop for
Sociolinguistic Archival Preparation' will precede the Winter Meeting
of the LSA. This workshop will address the difficulties associated
with adapting (socio)linguistic methods for the creation and storing
of corpora, to permit them to be archived for further study or for
historical comparison, so future 'panel' or 'trend' corpora can be
developed from them.

The Satellite Workshop --
https://lsadc.org/info/meet-annual12-sociolinguistic.cfm -- will begin
at 10:00 am on Wednesday, January 4 and continue through 3:00 PM on
Thursday, January 5. The LSA conference fee covers registration for
the Satellite Workshop.

Workshop registrants should go to the following link:

If only attending the workshop, go to the 'Choose Sister Society'
dropdown menu and select 'Satellite Workshop for Sociolinguistic
Archival Preparation'.

Workshop organizers are grateful for the support from the US National
Science Foundation (BCS#1144480) which will permit this workshop to
take place and will also fund a certain number of grants to permit
students to arrive early for the workshop.

Students interested in financial assistance for attending the
pre-conference workshop should go to
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GWHT3XW. Preference will be given to
students who are planning to carry out fieldwork, or who have already
begun to do so.

We hope to see you in Portland!
