Subject: The Languages of Central America Caribbean Coast 

Full Title: The Languages of Central America Caribbean Coast 

Date: 17-Jul-2006 - 21-Jul-2006
Location: Sevilla, Spain, Spain 
Contact Person: Elena Benedicto
Meeting Email: icacarib at purdue.edu
Web Site: http://www.personal.us.es/tutatis/52ICA 

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Language Family(ies): Arawakan; Chibchan; Creole; Mayan; Misumalpan; Sign Language 

Call Deadline: 30-Nov-2005 

Meeting Description:

This Symposium wants to be a meeting point for studies, from different
perspectives and approaches, on the indigenous and local languages of the
Caribbean Coast (including Sign Languages). With that in mind, the Symposium
will (non-exhaustively) articulate around three areas:
1.	Basic linguistic descriptions which can advance the level of understanding of
the structure of the languages of the region, and thus contribute to both
typological and formal theoretical studies.
2.	Socio-linguistic issues, including language policies and ways of articulating
language-society.
3.	Issues of 'good practices' in research methodologies, including the notion of
empowerment and approaches of participatory research, how to integrate the input
of the language community, the active participation and training of members of
the language community in research projects, and ways in which linguistic
projects can optimally be organized in the context of the Coast. 

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Languages of Central America Caribbean Coast: 
Articulating Society, Culture in the Present, Past and Future.

A Symposium of the 52nd International Congress of Americanists.
Sevilla (Spain), July 17-21, 2006

Organizers:
Elena Benedicto, Purdue University  ebenedi at purdue.edu

Webpage: http://www.personal.us.es/tutatis/52ICA

About the Symposium
The Central American Caribbean region is a highly multilingual and multicultural
area, with a complex system of linguistic hierarchies and interactions. This
linguistic and cultural complexity not only derives from the multiplicity of
levels of linguistic interaction, but is compounded by the lack and dispersion
of in-depth studies on the structure of the languages in particular as well as
on the socio-linguistics of the situation and on aspects of 'good-practices' in
research.

Abstracts
Abstracts can be sent for 30-minute talks, on either of the topics described above. 

Abstracts should not be longer than one page, with 1-inch (2.5 cm) margins on
each side and font no smaller than 12pt.

Title of the abstract should appear in the first line of the page, followed by
the name of the author(s) in the second line.

No more than one single-authored paper and one co-authored paper can be
accepted. ICA 52 will allow no more than two papers by the same author in any of
the symposia.

Where to send abstracts:	electronically at icacarib at purdue.edu
Deadline for abstracts:	November 30, 2005
Notification of acceptance:	December 5, 2005

Other Info
Please note that the organizers of ICA 52 require that every participant
presenting a paper register and pay by December 31st, 2005. You can check their
