Meeting Description:

The workshop will provide a forum for discussing issues related to linguistic fieldwork in South Asia, focusing on the challenges as well as contributions of fieldwork to descriptive linguistics. This includes fieldwork methods designed to illustrate complex descriptive problems, convey socio-culturally anchored concepts, and empirically test theories.

Invited Speakers:

Professor Anvita Abbi (Jawaharlal Nehru University)
Professor Shobhana Chelliah (University of North Texas)
Professor Sabine Stoll (University of Zürich)
Dr. Bettina Zeisler (Tübingen University) 

Call for Papers:

We invite researchers to submit abstracts for presentations at the workshop, including, but not limited to, topics such as:

- Managing the interplay between field data and theory
- Striking a balance between empirical corpus-based language description and hypothesis-driven investigation
- Collecting and processing data for studying semantic distinctions
- Integrating sociolinguistic variables in the description of endangered languages
- Handling linguistic analysis in the context of a moribund language
- Preparing dictionaries of undocumented languages
- Collecting field data for applied linguistic studies (e.g. first-language acquisition in endangered languages)
- Integrating theoretical and methodological aspects of fieldwork in the context of interdisciplinary research collaborations (e.g. anthropology, ethnobiology, geography, musicology, ICT)
- Producing digital language data (databases, corpora, recordings) for linguistic analysis

Abstracts should be one (A4 or letter) page long. A second page may be included for references and/or data. Abstracts - in pdf format only - should be sent to: anju(d)saxena(at)lingfil(d)uu(d)se (change the parenthesized expressions into the appropriate characters).

Deadline for abstract submission: 30 November 2014 

A selected number of papers from the workshop will be considered for publication in the Journal of South Asian Languages and Linguistics (de Gruyter Mouton). 

Workshop Organizer: 

Anju Saxena (Uppsala University) 

Program Committee:
