Meeting Description:

The Cambridge Conference on Language Endangerment is now in its tenth year.
Themes it has explored within language endangerment include: language policy
and planning, language documentation, the role of new technologies,
orthography development, the role of schools, new speakers, revitalisation
strategies and language change. On this tenth anniversary of the conference,
we invite participants to consider these themes and the way in which they will
develop over the coming decade. What challenges lie ahead for endangered
language communities, activists and academics engaged in reversing language
shift? What theoretical frameworks are proving most successful in terms of the
analysis of the linguistic structure of endangered languages? How will
changing attitudes amongst speakers affect the success of language
revitalisation? How will policy-makers shape language legislation and respond
to the concerns of endangered language speech communities? Has the potential
of new technologies been effectively engaged to support the documentation,
description and revitalisation of endangered languages or has the role of
these technologies been overplayed?


Call for Papers:

Abstracts of 200 words maximum to be submitted via email to the organisers by
April 10, 2020. Please include in the abstract document your name and your
affiliation as you would like to see them in the programme.
