<u></u></span>ABOUT THE CONFERENCE <span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Social and Language
Documentation (CIDLeS) cordially invites scholars working
on endangered languages in Europe and on Language
Documentation to join us at the International Conference
on Endangered Languages in Europe. The 2-day International
Conference aims to improve the discussion about linguistic
diversity in Europe and to provide an interdisciplinary
forum in which scholars from Language Documentation,
Language Technology and others working on European
endangered languages can exchange ideas and techniques on
language documentation, archiving, and revitalization and
to reflect on language policy issues. The second day of
the Conference will have two special panels: one focussing
on the endangered languages in the Iberian Peninsula and
another one, a round table, dedicated to the theme "new
speakers of minority/endangered languages".<span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><u></u><u></u></span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
The Conference is organized by the Interdisciplinary
Centre for Social and Language Documentation in Minde,
Portugal. <u></u><u></u></span><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
The Conference will include a broad socio-cultural program
related to the theme “Endangered Languages in Europe” with
the aim of promoting intercultural exchange and
reinforcing the relationship between linguists and
language communities. On the 19<sup>th</sup> of October
2013 there will be a “Language Fair” will take place, in
which several members of endangered language communities
in Europe will present their languages and cultures
through book displays and cultural events (music, theatre,
movies, exhibitions, etc.). On the evenings of 18th and
19th October there will be an “Endangered Languages Music
Festival”. <u></u><u></u></span> <br>
