Meeting Description:

4th International Conference on Latgalistics: 
Documentation of Endangered Languages and Cultures - from Traditional
Records to Digital Resources
September 29-30, 2011, Pozna?, Poland

Commemorating the 120th anniversary of Stefania Ulanowska's study '?otysze
Inflant Polskich'

Stefania Ulanowska's ?otysze Inflant Polski (1891, 1892, 1895) is the most
comprehensive documentation of 19th century Latgalian traditional culture
and of a Latgalian dialect. Its three volumes contain ethnographic
descriptions and a large collection of traditional tales, songs, and
proverbs, collected during fieldwork, transcribed in a practical
orthography and translated into Polish. It represents the best ethnographic
practice of the time, and thanks to this particular methodology, documents
of numerous endangered languages and cultures have been preserved for later
generations. Such motivation and these traditional methods of gathering
data in fieldwork and publishing them in print have not lost their
importance, but thanks to new technologies they have been supplemented by
new forms: films, web-sites, electronic corpora, on-line dictionaries,
multi-media presentations, and others. 

The annual International Conference on Latgalistics was founded in 2008 in
St. Petersburg as a forum for research on Latgalian language, literature,
and culture. A volume of articles based on papers held at the conference is
published in the subsequent year as a supplement to the journal Via
Latgalica (R?zekne, Latvia), which has an international editorial board. 

Scholars from other fields are invited to join in the discussion on related
topics.

Conference Committee:

Aleksey Andronov (Saint Petersburg State University)
Lidija Leikuma (University of Latvia)
Nicole Nau (Adam Mickiewicz University in Pozna?)
Ilga ?uplinska (R?zekne University College)

Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan 
Institute of Linguistics, Department of Baltic languages

Conference fee: 150 PLN (regular) / 75 PLN (students).
