Meeting Description:

The aim of the workshop is to provide a space for the development of 
dialogue between dialectologists, language community activists, and others 
working on the development of orthographies regarding the issues that 
arise during the creation of writing systems in places where there is dialect 
variation and there is no writing system, or there is a writing system for a 
national language but not for the particular language. Presentations will be 
20 minutes in length, followed by a 10-minute discussion period. Please 
note that there could also be sessions for poster presentations depending 
on participants' interest.

Dialogue on Dialect Standardization' in the subject line. Make the abstract 
as anonymous as possible, and include the title. In the body of your e-mail 
message, include the contact details of author(s) and a statement as to 
whether the paper is intended for oral presentation, a poster session or 
either. 

The deadline for submission of abstracts is 30 November 2010. The 
anonymous abstracts will be refereed by the Workshop organizing 
committee, and authors will be notified of acceptance before the end of 
January 2011.
