SAIL provides a forum for the exchange of scholarly research. It brings
together scholars, members of the Indigenous communities, native speakers,
educators and language activists who are interested in sharing experiences
and best practices on topics related to language documentation,
conservation, reclamation, and revitalization.

SAIL welcomes the active participation of indigenous communities, Native
language speakers, and those interested in reclamation, vitalization and
preservation of their heritage languages and cultures.

Special Session: International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL)

UNESCO has declared 2022-2023 as the International Decade of Indigenous
Language. The special session seeks papers that reflect UNESCO's Global
Action Plan <https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379851>. Topics
may include Indigenous language sustainability, inclusive, equitable
life-long learning capabilities for language teachers (formal and
informal), the use of digital and media resources to aid in language
empowerment and creative expression, holistic language revitalization
activities that address food systems and traditional knowledge, climate
change, health disparities.

Parasession: Documentation, Description & Theory

The parasession welcomes papers on language documentation, revitalization,
and descriptive and/or theoretical work (phonology, morphosyntax,
semantics, pragmatics), historical linguistics, anthropological
linguistics, etc.) that draw their data from community-based participatory
research.

In line with our goals of reaching out to Indigenous communities, we
encourage scholars to present their descriptive & theoretical work in a way
that informs on the language community's efforts to revitalize/maintain
their language.

Poster Session:

We welcome research on any topic covering American Indian languages (e.g.,
language documentation, description & theory, historical linguistics,
sociolinguistics, fieldwork, language revitalization, teaching pedagogy,
language policy, community-based programs, use of digital technologies for
language documentation and language revitalization). Indigenous communities
are also encouraged to present and promote their language
revitalization/maintenance initiatives!
