Call Deadline: 14-Apr-2019 

Meeting Description:

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that as many as 56
million people around the world are displaced by war, disaster, environmental
degradation, poverty, and other causes. Millions of speakers of endangered
languages are among these displaced people, and linguists around the world
increasingly find themselves working with speakers living outside their region
of origin. Yet, many best practices in linguistic research start with
assumptions about language communities that are inapplicable to language
spoken in diaspora contexts. The purpose of the meeting is to integrate
multidisciplinary perspectives into linguistic research with diaspora
communities and to discuss diaspora linguistics in its own right.


Call for Papers:

We invite the submission of abstracts for 20-minute talks or poster
presentations on the broad topic of diaspora linguistics, which might include,
but is not limited to, language documentation, language description, the role
of data from diaspora languages in constructing linguistic theories,
collaboration with diaspora communities, contact languages, language variation
and change, anthropological linguistics, sociolinguistics, community needs,
and community organization. Please feel free to contact the organizing
committee if you are unsure of whether your topic is compatible with the goals
of the meeting. 

The body of the abstract, including figures and numbered examples, should be a
maximum of one page in length; however, references can be included on a
separate page. Abstracts should have one-inch margins and 11 or 12 point font
and submissions should be anonymous.

Submissions should be submitted in PDF format through Easy Chair:

https://easychair.org/cfp/LRDC2019.

The deadline for abstract submission is April 14, 2019. The committee will
send decisions by April 28, 2019.
