Meeting Description:

Inuktitut Language and Linguistics is a workshop hosted by the Department of
Linguistics at the University of Toronto (30-31 May 2017).  It is being held
on the occasion of Alana Johns’ retirement from the Department of Linguistics,
which will take place this year. The workshop aims is to promote dialogue
between linguists and Inuit language specialists from the community, with a
special focus on promoting language capacity and linguistic insight through
collaboration.

The first day of the workshop will feature invited talks by Alana's students
and collaborators (past and present) and Inuit language specialists from the
community. The second day of the workshop will involve presentations and
roundtable discussion of oral assessment techniques in adult second-language
teaching, followed by a practical session devoted to adapting these techniques
to adult second-language teaching of Inuktitut specifically.


Call for Papers:

We invite submissions for participation in the plenary poster session of the
workshop. Submissions can be on any topic related to the theme of the workshop
or on any topic related to Alana John's multi-faceted work, which has included
such phenomena as ergativity, noun incorporation and language change.

Abstracts guidelines are as follows:

Submissions should be no more than one page, including references and
examples, in 12pt font, single-spaced, with 1-inch margins.

Please send abstract in PDF format by email to Susana Bejar
(sbejar at chass.utoronto.ca)

Submission deadline: 15 March 2017  

Notification of acceptance: 25 March 2017
