Meeting Description:

The 2nd Conference on Frisian Humanities aims to bring together scholars and
students across the multidisciplinary field of Frisian humanities and/or other
minority languages. The theme of the conference is: Resilience in Frisian
Humanities.
 
Frisian language and history possess great resilience in various domains. For
example, Frisians were able to uphold their own form of government and law
code in the Middle Ages. The famous “Frisian freedom” serves as a beautiful
example of resilience. Another example is found in the 19th century, when the
Frisian Movement came into existence as part and result of the European
Romantic Period. The Frisian movement was a prime factor in the creation of a
substantial Frisian literature, of an orthography for written Frisian and of a
grammar for the Frisian language. It sparked off immense, often scientific,
interest in Frisian history, folklore and language.  

The resilience of Frisian language and culture is of vital interest nowadays.
What challenges do minority languages face nowadays, and how can these
challenges be met? Present-day developments involve a wide range of areas,
such as education (Language Plan 2030) and language technology (speech
recognition and synthesis). Minority languages are integrated in education
through multilingualism and translanguaging at all levels of education.


Call for Papers:

The 2nd Conference on Frisian Humanities aims to bring together scholars and
students across the multidisciplinary field of Frisian humanities and/or other
minority languages. We welcome proposals focussing on (but not limited to): 

- Frisian Linguistics 
- Multilingualism in a minority context  
- Multilingual education in a minority context 
- Speech and language technology for low-resourced languages 
- Medieval history of Frisia 
- 19th century history of Frisia 
- Literature of minority languages 
- Movies and films in minority languages 

Proposals regarding original, previously unpublished research on minority
languages are invited in two formats: individual papers and posters. Proposals
should relate to one (or more) of the conference themes listed above. The
Scientific Committee is open to proposals for colloquia/workshops. If you are
interested in organising one for this conference, please contact the
organisation at info at frisianhumanities.frl. Should you want to organise a
workshop or colloquium during the conference, please contact the organisers
for more information. 

  
Proposals for individual papers or posters:

Please submit an abstract (450-words including references) of your paper or
poster, with your name, affiliation, address, phone and email address at the
end of your abstract. The abstract should include enough detail to allow
reviewers to judge the scientific merits of the proposal.  

The official languages of the conference are Frisian, Dutch and English. If a
presentation is based on data in any other language, use of multilingual
material (e.g. in Power Point slides, handouts) is recommended. 

Oral papers will be allotted 30 minutes, allowing 20 minutes for presentation
and 10 minutes for questions. 

The abstracts for papers and posters should be submitted here:
