Subject: Workshops & Talk Story Sessions at ICLDC

 
Full Title: Workshops & Talk Story Sessions 

Date: 28-Feb-2019 - 02-Mar-2019
Location: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, USA 
Contact Person: Jim Yoshioka
Meeting Email: icldc at hawaii.edu
Web Site: http://icldc6.weebly.com/cfp-workshops.html 

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Language Documentation 

Call Deadline: 30-Jun-2018 

Meeting Description:

Following a format introduced at the ICLDC 2017, we are including a 90-minute
block on Thursday, Friday and Saturday to be dedicated to two alternative
conference activities: Workshops and Talk Story sessions.


Call for Workshops:

(https://icldc6.weebly.com/cfp-workshops.html)

We invite submissions for Workshops and Talk Story session topics/facilitators
addressing the conference theme, ''Connecting Communities, Languages &
Language Technology''. 
                                
Talk Story Sessions:

Introduced at ICLDC 2017 in response to participant feedback, ICLDC 2019 will
again have ''Talk Story'' sessions. These discussions will be led by an expert
discussant and limited to 20-30 attendees per session. Each Talk Story will be
repeated on three days of the conference, allowing ample opportunity for
conference attendees to participate in the Talk Story sessions of their
choice. Talk Story sessions are meant to be fully interactive for
participants, rather than a one-directional presentation of information. This
format may be particularly appropriate for discussion of the challenges of
technology and its role in language reclamation and language documentation. 

Workshops:

We also welcome proposals for Workshops on topics broadly relating to language
and technology, particularly where it impacts communities. Each 90-minute
workshop will be held twice over three days of the conference, allowing
multiple opportunities for interested attendees to participate. Workshops will
accommodate a larger number of participants and are intended to be more
presentational and instructional in style than the Talk Story sessions.
Appropriate workshop topics will be related to the conference theme and may
include instruction in use of software tools, development of new software
tools, development of web technologies, novel methods for digital hardware
tools, etc.     

NSF Support Details:

Thanks to generous support from the US National Science Foundation Documenting
Endangered Languages Program, we are able to offer travel assistance up to
US$2000 for each selected Workshop and Talk Story session. Funds will be
provided as (partial) flight reimbursements, hotel nights, or per diem
payments, to be determined by the ICLDC Executive Committee. In the event that
a Workshop or Talk Story Session is jointly presented by more than one
individual, the presenter team will inform the ICLDC Executive Committee how
to divide the award across the presenters. As a condition of acceptance,
workshop and talk story presenters agree to acknowledge the support of the
National Science Foundation in the presentations and in future iterations of
related research. 

For detailed information on preparing and submitting Workshop and Talk Story
session proposals, see the full call for papers:

NOTE: There is a separate general call for papers, posters, and technology
showcase exhibits (https://icldc6.weebly.com/cfp-general.html).
