Name: not available Type: text/enriched Size: 1354 bytes Desc: not available URL: From nostler at chibcha.demon.co.uk Sun Jun 11 20:36:42 2000 From: nostler at chibcha.demon.co.uk (Nicholas Ostler) Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2000 21:36:42 +0100 Subject: CFP: Technology and Indigenous Languages Message-ID: Call for Papers for Special Issue of Language Learning & Technology Theme: Technology and Indigenous Languages Guest Editor: Nicholas Ostler The focus of this special issue of Language Learning & Technology is on the means, potential value, and dangers, of providing and using communications and information technology for languages that are mostly local in use. * What are the practical difficulties of providing systems in the current state of the art? * When systems are provided, what has been the main value to the individuals and communities who can use them? * Is there an effect on the way in which languages are used in smaller communities, and on their prospects for survival? * With the advent of speech processing and multimedia, what is the effect on the acquisition, and use of literacy? * Who are the major beneficiaries, both within the language communities, and outside, in the world of descriptive linguists, publishers, software producers and other businesses? * What are the immediate and longer-term effects, on a language community's economy, culture and overall health? Manuscripts submitted for the special issue should either (a) report on original research or (b) present an original framework that links previous research, educational theory, and teaching practices. Since the focus is on indigenous languages, English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and the major languages originating from Western Europe should not be the exclusive focus of any papers. However, multilingual issues which involve these languages with others less widely spoken might be very relevant. And economic development of a language, rather than speaker population, is the crucial determinant: so considerations in providing technology for Punjabi or Javanese also fall within our sphere of interest. But no less would we discount the cases of Caucasian or Papuan villages. Since the publication is Language Learning & Technology, the work discussed should have a relevance to language learning, but this would include second as well as foreign language acquisition. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: character codes: standards and dissemination corpus building, annotation and exploitation practical lexicography roles for speech processing, both recognition and generation effective use of video and multimedia multilingual transfer effects of IT communication on communities in diaspora language technology as a means of documentation culture clashes, at the level of linguist, language learner or ambient community Please e-mail an abstract of no more than 500 words, by 31 August 2000, to: Nicholas Ostler nostler at chibcha.demon.co.uk Language Learning & Technology is published exclusively on the World Wide Web.

The Convention will be held February 24-27. Below you will find the colloquium abstracts Prospective participants are invited to send inquiries and abstracts for 20 minutes papers to Anna De Fina e-mail definaa at georgetown.edu SUMISSION DEADLINE JULY 8th, 2000 Colloquium abstract: NARRATIVE AND IDENTITY The investigation of identity has seen a resurgence of interest in sociolinguistics and discourse analysis as a growing body of literature stresses the central role that language plays in the construction, negotiation and ratification of identities. At the same time, social constructionist approaches have pointed to the multifaceted nature of social identities and, crucially, to the role of interaction in their construction. In linguistics these approaches have variously borrowed from Bakhtin's (1984) ideas on multiple voicing , Goffman's (1981) notions of participation frameworks and of "self-presentation" (1954), Davie's and Harre's (1990) proposals about positioning, Gumpertz' groundbreaking work on contextualization (1982and 1992), only to name some fundamental points of reference. More recent developments have also suggested that identities in many modern societies reflect the complex experiences of individuals and communities with multiple areas of identification, and multiple spheres of social interaction (Hill, 1999). Narrative has been seen by many researchers in linguistics and other areas as a privileged locus for the study of identity. The objective of this colloquium is to further explore this nexus exemplifying ways in which narratives allow us to speak of "identities", rather than "identity". Topics for papers include the following questions: What specific linguistic resources are exploited by speakers to convey identities ? How are locally constructed identities related to more global ones? What kinds of multiple and /or conflicting self presentations may inhabit the same narrative space? What kinds of interactions exist in narrative between identities that narrators choose and socially attributed or prescribed ones? Contributions are invited on different genres within narrative discourse including personal narratives, life stories, institutional narratives.

So you wont come around learning some of the basic recording skills. Usually external microphones do better, and they can be placed more easily in a way you can manage to record exactly the voices you want. And I wouldnt recommend voice activated recording, because it always cuts off the first words of an utterance.

Sue (or whoever), I'm curious, at about what age does "more intention" start to enter such types of (indirect?) illocutionary acts (not only directives)? How did you come to conclude that?

I would have thought that much of the point of such remarks is that they are ambiguous as to intention - whether or not by conscious attention or by what is often a strategic and often unconscious self-deception. Intention then becomes part of the whole social fabric in which such types of remark and a larger range of related remarks are embedded, and which must be "known" to comprehend "intention". There are cultural patterns and norms affecting such remarks - some regions or groups within regions find them more acceptable than others - so they may also be a source of conflict. Such factors must make it very difficult to determine an age or age range at which "more intention" can enter in.

They develop these understandings gradually via a lot of listening and dialog in situations affording joint attentional scenes. While this observation doesn't speak directly to the question of when declaratives become (intentional) indirect directives, it suggests that it could begin early and develop gradually.

In the case I'm writing about, it appears that a cabinet secretary acted almost as a ghost writer for a government commission whose report would not have been as influential had it born the secretary's name as its author. Further, while the commission's ostensible audience is the American people, it seems that the real audience was the President served by the secretary. (BTW, I'm talking, very loosely, about _A Nation at Risk_, at least ostensibly authored by the National Commission on Excellence in Education, commissioned by Secretary of Education Terrel Bell, who served under Reagan.) Of course, I'm not just interested in articles dealing with how participation frameworks involving corporate or governmental actors, or written texts, might be manipulated.

Name: not available Type: text/enriched Size: 1354 bytes Desc: not available URL: From nostler at chibcha.demon.co.uk Sun Jun 11 20:36:42 2000 From: nostler at chibcha.demon.co.uk (Nicholas Ostler) Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2000 21:36:42 +0100 Subject: CFP: Technology and Indigenous Languages Message-ID: Call for Papers for Special Issue of Language Learning & Technology Theme: Technology and Indigenous Languages Guest Editor: Nicholas Ostler The focus of this special issue of Language Learning & Technology is on the means, potential value, and dangers, of providing and using communications and information technology for languages that are mostly local in use. * What are the practical difficulties of providing systems in the current state of the art? * When systems are provided, what has been the main value to the individuals and communities who can use them? * Is there an effect on the way in which languages are used in smaller communities, and on their prospects for survival? * With the advent of speech processing and multimedia, what is the effect on the acquisition, and use of literacy? * Who are the major beneficiaries, both within the language communities, and outside, in the world of descriptive linguists, publishers, software producers and other businesses? * What are the immediate and longer-term effects, on a language community's economy, culture and overall health? Manuscripts submitted for the special issue should either (a) report on original research or (b) present an original framework that links previous research, educational theory, and teaching practices. Since the focus is on indigenous languages, English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and the major languages originating from Western Europe should not be the exclusive focus of any papers. However, multilingual issues which involve these languages with others less widely spoken might be very relevant. And economic development of a language, rather than speaker population, is the crucial determinant: so considerations in providing technology for Punjabi or Javanese also fall within our sphere of interest. But no less would we discount the cases of Caucasian or Papuan villages. Since the publication is Language Learning & Technology, the work discussed should have a relevance to language learning, but this would include second as well as foreign language acquisition. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: character codes: standards and dissemination corpus building, annotation and exploitation practical lexicography roles for speech processing, both recognition and generation effective use of video and multimedia multilingual transfer effects of IT communication on communities in diaspora language technology as a means of documentation culture clashes, at the level of linguist, language learner or ambient community Please e-mail an abstract of no more than 500 words, by 31 August 2000, to: Nicholas Ostler nostler at chibcha.demon.co.uk Language Learning & Technology is published exclusively on the World Wide Web.

The Convention will be held February 24-27. Below you will find the colloquium abstracts Prospective participants are invited to send inquiries and abstracts for 20 minutes papers to Anna De Fina e-mail definaa at georgetown.edu SUMISSION DEADLINE JULY 8th, 2000 Colloquium abstract: NARRATIVE AND IDENTITY The investigation of identity has seen a resurgence of interest in sociolinguistics and discourse analysis as a growing body of literature stresses the central role that language plays in the construction, negotiation and ratification of identities. At the same time, social constructionist approaches have pointed to the multifaceted nature of social identities and, crucially, to the role of interaction in their construction. In linguistics these approaches have variously borrowed from Bakhtin's (1984) ideas on multiple voicing , Goffman's (1981) notions of participation frameworks and of "self-presentation" (1954), Davie's and Harre's (1990) proposals about positioning, Gumpertz' groundbreaking work on contextualization (1982and 1992), only to name some fundamental points of reference. More recent developments have also suggested that identities in many modern societies reflect the complex experiences of individuals and communities with multiple areas of identification, and multiple spheres of social interaction (Hill, 1999). Narrative has been seen by many researchers in linguistics and other areas as a privileged locus for the study of identity. The objective of this colloquium is to further explore this nexus exemplifying ways in which narratives allow us to speak of "identities", rather than "identity". Topics for papers include the following questions: What specific linguistic resources are exploited by speakers to convey identities ? How are locally constructed identities related to more global ones? What kinds of multiple and /or conflicting self presentations may inhabit the same narrative space? What kinds of interactions exist in narrative between identities that narrators choose and socially attributed or prescribed ones?

So you wont come around learning some of the basic recording skills. Usually external microphones do better, and they can be placed more easily in a way you can manage to record exactly the voices you want. And I wouldnt recommend voice activated recording, because it always cuts off the first words of an utterance.

Sue (or whoever), I'm curious, at about what age does "more intention" start to enter such types of (indirect?) illocutionary acts (not only directives)? How did you come to conclude that?

I would have thought that much of the point of such remarks is that they are ambiguous as to intention - whether or not by conscious attention or by what is often a strategic and often unconscious self-deception. Intention then becomes part of the whole social fabric in which such types of remark and a larger range of related remarks are embedded, and which must be "known" to comprehend "intention". There are cultural patterns and norms affecting such remarks - some regions or groups within regions find them more acceptable than others - so they may also be a source of conflict. Such factors must make it very difficult to determine an age or age range at which "more intention" can enter in.

They develop these understandings gradually via a lot of listening and dialog in situations affording joint attentional scenes. While this observation doesn't speak directly to the question of when declaratives become (intentional) indirect directives, it suggests that it could begin early and develop gradually.

In the case I'm writing about, it appears that a cabinet secretary acted almost as a ghost writer for a government commission whose report would not have been as influential had it born the secretary's name as its author. Further, while the commission's ostensible audience is the American people, it seems that the real audience was the President served by the secretary. (BTW, I'm talking, very loosely, about _A Nation at Risk_, at least ostensibly authored by the National Commission on Excellence in Education, commissioned by Secretary of Education Terrel Bell, who served under Reagan.) Of course, I'm not just interested in articles dealing with how participation frameworks involving corporate or governmental actors, or written texts, might be manipulated.
