Meeting Description:

Conference Theme: Recognizing Relationships

There are many critical challenges that endangered language documentation and
conservation faces, some of which seem insurmountable, and despite linguists’
best efforts, many of the proposed solutions fall short. These challenges have
been apparent to many communities, language activists and academic linguists
since (or even before) the earliest public warnings of the “endangered
language crisis” in the early 1990’s, and recognition of the great number of
large-scale challenges has only become more apparent since. 

One reason that many of the current solutions have not reached the level of
success to which they have aspired is that the need to identify and/or foster
relationships is often minimized or even ignored completely. Identifying and
fostering relationships by taking the time to build understanding between
stakeholders, learning about needs and skills that can be offered, and
developing shared goals and outcomes are central to sustainable solutions for
language documentation and conservation. These relationships go beyond those
between communities and linguists and extend to multi-party relationships
among linguists, communities, other academic fields, governmental and
non-governmental organizations, educational and funding agencies, and many
other individuals invested in the future of the language. There are also
important intra-group relationships within these stakeholding groups (e.g.,
between members of an Indigenous community, or language workers documenting
signed languages and those documenting spoken languages) as well as
inter-group relationships between different Indigenous communities. 

At ICLDC 2021 we propose to initiate a dialogue on how recognizing
relationships can help overcome the many critical challenges in language
documentation and language reclamation. We believe that this focus will lead
to improved connections among academic linguists, various communities,
researchers from other disciplines, educational practitioners, and many other
stakeholders. We specifically aim to draw attention to the transformative
power of recognizing relationships to overcome critical challenges.
