Dear RNLDers,<br><br>The following call is forwarded from Christopher T Collins [mailto:<a href="mailto:cc116@nyu.edu">cc116@nyu.edu</a>]<br><br>Subject: Re: EL on LB -- please circulate<br><br>Studies on Endangered Languages<br>
<br>Location: <a href="http://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/">http://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/</a><br>The SEL will be up integrated as a topic page on Lingbuzz.<br><br>Call: We need a minimum critical mass of about 20 studies to get the site going. If you have a paper, or know of one, please send it to Chris Collins (<a href="mailto:cc116@nyu.edu">cc116@nyu.edu</a>) or Daniel Kaufman (<a href="mailto:dak37@cornell.edu">dak37@cornell.edu</a>), and we will post it when we have the critical mass.<br>
<br>Description: The inspiration for this archive is lingbuzz, a thriving repository of papers on theoretical linguistics. We would like the SEL archive to serve as a repository of electronic grammars, dictionaries, and papers on endangered languages. Since there is no precise definition of "endangered language", we extend the scope of this archive to include studies on under-researched languages as well.<br>
<br>The papers can be descriptively or theoretically oriented. For the more descriptive papers, the description and keywords that are posted on Lingbuzz (see below) should try to convey notable typological features or points of potential wider interest in the data. One of the goals of the project is to try to integrate data on endangered and under-researched languages into work being done in the theoretical linguistics community.<br>
<br>Papers will not be reviewed. For an overview of Lingbuzz policies, see:<br><br><a href="http://ling.auf.net/buzzdocs/">http://ling.auf.net/buzzdocs/</a><br><br>As with Lingbuzz, each paper will appear with the following information:<br>
<br>Title<br>Name of Author<br>Date of Submission<br>Description (one or two paragraphs)<br>Place of publication (if there exists a published version)<br>Keywords<br>Previous version dates<br>Number of times downloaded <br>
