Meeting Description:<br><br>
The 3rd International Conference on Language Documentation and
Conservation (ICLDC), 'Sharing Worlds of Knowledge,' will be held
February 28-March 3, 2013, at the Hawai'i Imin International Conference
Center on the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa campus. <br> <br>By popular
demand, the 3rd ICLDC will be a full day longer than the previous two
conferences. The conference program will feature an integrated series of
Master Class workshops. 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 (March 4-5). <br> <br>This
year's conference theme, 'Sharing Worlds of Knowledge,' intends to
highlight the interdisciplinary nature of language documentation and the
need to share methods for documenting the many aspects of human
knowledge that language encodes. We aim to build on the strong momentum
created by the 1st and 2nd ICLDCs to discuss research and revitalization
approaches yielding rich records that can benefit both the field of
language documentation and speech communities. We hope you will join us.

Final Call for Papers: <br> <br>Topics: <br> <br>We especially welcome
abstracts that address the conference theme of the interdisciplinary
nature of language documentation. Language encodes knowledge from many
facets of life: kinship, science, taxonomy, material culture,
spirituality, music, and others. We encourage presentations on
documenting these topics through the lens of endangered languages. <br> <br>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 theorization in their own
right. <br> <br>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: <br> <br>- Archiving matters <br>- Community experiences of revitalization <br>- Data management <br>- Ethical issues <br>- Language planning <br>- Lexicography and reference grammar design <br>
- Methods of assessing ethnolinguistic vitality <br>- Orthography design <br>- Teaching/learning small languages <br>- Technology in documentation - methods and pitfalls <br>- Topics in areal language documentation <br>- Training in documentation methods - beyond the university <br>
- Assessing success in documentation and revitalization strategies <br> <br>Abstract Submission: <br> <br>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
joint (co-authored) proposal. <br> <br>Abstracts are due by August 31, 2012, with notification of acceptance by October 1, 2012. <br> <br>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. <br> <br>We will only be accepting
proposal submissions for papers or posters. We will not be accepting any
proposal submission for panel or colloquia presentations this year.
Please note that the Advisory Committee may ask that some abstracts
submitted as conference talks be presented as posters instead. <br> <br>Selected
authors will be invited to submit their conference papers to the
journal Language Documentation & Conservation for publication. <br> <br>To submit an online proposal, visit our Call for Proposals page: <br> <br><a href="http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ICLDC/2013/call.html">http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ICLDC/2013/call.html</a> <br>
<br>Proposal Review Criteria: <br> <br>- Appropriateness of the topic: Does the paper/poster address the themes of the conference? <br>-
Presentation: Is the abstract well-written? Does it suggest that the
paper/poster will be well organized and clearly presented? <br>-
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? <br> <br>Scholarships: <br> <br>To
help defray travel expenses to come and present at the conference,
scholarships of up to US$1,500 will be awarded to the six best abstracts
by (i) students and/or (ii) members of an endangered language community
who are actively working to document their heritage language and who
are not employed by a college or university. If you are eligible and
wish to be considered for a scholarship, please select the appropriate
'Yes' button on the proposal submission form. <br> <br>Presentation Formats: <br> <br>Papers will be allowed 20 minutes for presentation with 10 minutes of question time. <br> <br>Posters will be on display throughout the conference. Poster presentations will run during the lunch breaks. <br>
