Meeting Description: 

In a globalized world where hundreds of languages are expected to become 
extinct in the 21st century, it is highly relevant to analyze the viability and 
continuity of threatened languages. The purpose of the 26th Linguistics 
Symposium is to discuss this impending loss to humankind from a multidisciplinary perspective.We invite contributions for the assessment of 
this process from Linguistics, Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology, Education, and related fields. Equally welcome is the participation of 
practitioners in language revitalization efforts.

We wish to combine theoretical and practical perspectives for the analysis of 
the linguistic and social processes involved in language death, 
endangerment, documentation and revitalization.

Possible topics include the following:
-The genetic and areal distribution of endangered 
-Structural characteristics of endangered languages
-Cultural characteristics of endangered language communities
-Causes of language endangerment
-Documentation of endangered languages
-Language revitalization programs and practices
-Academic ethics and advocacy in language endangerment 

The program of our conference titled "Language death, endangerment,
documentation, and revitalization" is now available at the following website: 

http://www4.uwm.edu/letsci/conferences/linguistics2011

Dedicated to the memory of Michael Noonan, the event will be held October 20-22 2011, Thursday through Saturday, at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

The program consists of 45 abstract-based papers from various parts of the world
and of talks by nine key-note speakers: Daryl Baldwin, Daniel L. Everett, Carol
Genetti, Lenore Grenoble, K. David Harrison, Iren Hartmann, Marianne Mithun,
Fernando Ramallo, and Sarah Thomason. 

In addition to the detailed program, the website also provides information about
housing and registration. The deadline for pre-registration is 
September 1 Thursday.
