From David.Rood at Colorado.EDU Wed Jun 1 20:01:39 2011 From: David.Rood at Colorado.EDU (ROOD DAVID S) Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2011 14:01:39 -0600 Subject: Language Documentation at the Linguistic Institute, July 7 - Aug 2, 2011 (fwd) Message-ID: "Language Documentation major focus of 2011 Linguistics Institute at University of Colorado" The University of Colorado will be offering a fantastic opportunity this summer for people interested in Language Documentation and related fields to be brought up to date on the latest developments and trends. This opportunity is part of the Linguistic Institute 2011, a bi-annual international event which is being held for the first time ever in Boulder, Colorado. It offers a wide range of courses in language documentation by renowned researchers, including two intensive courses in linguistic Field Methods (Nick Evans from Australia, and Sally Rice from Canada), courses on issues on language endangerment (Nora England and Eladio Mateo-Toledo from Mexico, and David and Maya Bradley from Australia), as well as courses featuring particular languages or language families (David Rood on Siouan languages, Alex Fran�ois on Oceanic languages, Jean-Pierre Koenig and Karin Michelson on Iroquian languages, Gregory Guy on language in Latin America, and Heidi Harley on the Hiaki (Yaqui) language. Overall, the Institute will feature around 80 courses in various sub-fields of linguistics relevant to anyone interested in language documentation, including courses in syntax, semantics, phonetics, phonology, morphology, typology, language and interaction, linguistic anthropology and sociolinguistics, areal and historical linguistics, and psycholinguistics, among others. These courses are open to anyone, and one can register as an affiliate if not interested in academic credit. The courses meet twice a week for four weeks. There are also one-time workshops being offered that are open to the public. These include practical workshops on fieldwork tools such as ELAN, FLEX and Toolbox, as well as workshops on more theoretical interests including the Sociolinguistics of Language Endangerment, Interactional Foundations of Language, and Sociophonetics. In addition, the Society for the Study of Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA) will hold it's annual convention in Boulder in conjunction with the Institute. The Linguistics Institute is a unique event which attracts faculty, graduate students, business professionals working in fields related to linguistics, and interested members of the public for an intensive, month-long experience. It's presence in Boulder recognizes CU's long involvement as a leader in the field of language documentation. More information can be found at the Institute website, https://verbs.colorado.edu/LSA2011/index.html. Online registration is open through July 5th at the Institute website: https://verbs.colorado.edu/LSA2011/index.html.

Greetings to all, We are writing to inform conference attendees about how anticipated flooding along the Missouri River will affect lodging arrangements for the Siouan conference later this month. After consultation with tribal chairman Tim Rhodd and the manager of the Eagle’s Nest motel, we are recommending that all conference attendees who have reserved rooms at the Eagle’s Nest motel cancel these reservations immediately and make reservations in Hiawatha, KS, or Falls City, NE, at the motels listed below. The reason for this is the imminent flooding, which will make roads impassable, requiring extensive detours to get from the Eagle’s Nest motel on the east side of the river to the conference location at the tribal complex on the west side of the river. We apologize for this inconvenience and extra expense to conference attendees. While there was minor flooding in the area last year, we had no way of anticipating this year’s expected extensive flooding caused by the Corps of Engineers releasing water from upstream. We were pleased that the tribe was able to offer such discounted conference rates at the Eagle’s Nest motel, and we were looking forward to conference business supporting this tribal enterprise. We are sorry to report that the motels in Hiawatha, KS, and Falls City, NE, are not able to match the conference rate at the tribe’s Eagle’s Nest motel. Nevertheless, the rates at these motels seem reasonable and should provide good accommodations for conference attendees. Both Hiawatha and Falls City are approximately 20 miles from the conference location. Please note that those with reservations at the casino cabins do NOT need to cancel their reservations, since the casino cabins are just a mile south of the tribal complex. However, all attendees should plan their travel routes to avoid highways running through river lowlands, including but not limited to 159 from MO to NE and 7 from NE to KS.

E.g., one-bed room is $52 + $5 for additional guests; two-bed room is $57-$67 + $5 for additional guests; four guests in a two-bed room is $77. Note: attendees traveling to the conference location from Falls City should take 73 S to Reserve and then head east on 330th to the tribal complex (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=falls+city+ne&daddr=39.97193,-95.55275+to:3345+thrasher+road+white+cloud+ks&hl=en&geocode=FaNHYwId9zpN-ik5Zg2_B3GVhzEmAn-sNmK2vA%3BFVrsYQIdEvtN-il3s8oaKmWVhzEEBgzXaerlVQ%3BFRI9YgIdRcxQ-imrUfYhEl2VhzHsOvWafB_mzQ&mra=dpe&mrsp=1&sz=11&via=1&sll=40.02814,-95.500031&sspn=0.220829,0.4422&ie=UTF8&z=11) Hiawatha Lodge (across from McDonald’s) 101 Lodge Rd.

Roads along the flood plain of the "Mighty MO" can indeed experience flooding sometimes. If anyone should find that motels in the two towns mentioned are out of rooms, another possibility is St. Joseph, MO. It's on the way to the conference from Kansas City International airport and there are plenty of motels in all price ranges. The route to the conference from there is US highway 56 west to Kansas state highway 7, then north to White Cloud. Once you are within the state of Kansas you can call 511 for road closing information. Take heart in the fact that we are experiencing the same conditions that Indian People in the Missouri Valley did for generations in the Spring of each year.

Jimm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rankin, Robert L" To: Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2011 11:31 AM Subject: RE: IMPORTANT INFORMATION: CONFERENCE LODGING Iren, Thanks for the heads-up. Roads along the flood plain of the "Mighty MO" can indeed experience flooding sometimes. If anyone should find that motels in the two towns mentioned are out of rooms, another possibility is St. Joseph, MO. It's on the way to the conference from Kansas City International airport and there are plenty of motels in all price ranges. The route to the conference from there is US highway 56 west to Kansas state highway 7, then north to White Cloud. Once you are within the state of Kansas you can call 511 for road closing information. Take heart in the fact that we are experiencing the same conditions that Indian People in the Missouri Valley did for generations in the Spring of each year.

Greetings to all, We are writing to inform conference attendees about how anticipated flooding along the Missouri River will affect lodging arrangements for the Siouan conference later this month. After consultation with tribal chairman Tim Rhodd and the manager of the Eagle’s Nest motel, we are recommending that all conference attendees who have reserved rooms at the Eagle’s Nest motel cancel these reservations immediately and make reservations in Hiawatha, KS, or Falls City, NE, at the motels listed below. The reason for this is the imminent flooding, which will make roads impassable, requiring extensive detours to get from the Eagle’s Nest motel on the east side of the river to the conference location at the tribal complex on the west side of the river. We apologize for this inconvenience and extra expense to conference attendees. While there was minor flooding in the area last year, we had no way of anticipating this year’s expected extensive flooding caused by the Corps of Engineers releasing water from upstream. We were pleased that the tribe was able to offer such discounted conference rates at the Eagle’s Nest motel, and we were looking forward to conference business supporting this tribal enterprise. We are sorry to report that the motels in Hiawatha, KS, and Falls City, NE, are not able to match the conference rate at the tribe’s Eagle’s Nest motel. Nevertheless, the rates at these motels seem reasonable and should provide good accommodations for conference attendees. Both Hiawatha and Falls City are approximately 20 miles from the conference location. Please note that those with reservations at the casino cabins do NOT need to cancel their reservations, since the casino cabins are just a mile south of the tribal complex. However, all attendees should plan their travel routes to avoid highways running through river lowlands, including but not limited to 159 from MO to NE and 7 from NE to KS.

The updated CFP can be found below. Please forward it to anyone who might be interested. With kind regards, The Guest Editors, ----------------------------------------------------- CFP: DEADLINE EXTENDED for Special Issue of Terminology 18:1 (2012). Neology in Specialized Communication ***** PAPERS DUE 18 JULY 2011***** IMPORTANT DATES Submission date for full paper: July 18th 2011 Acceptance/Rejection notice: September 30th 2011 Final papers due: November 15th 2011 Special Issue of Terminology 18:1 (2012). Neology in Specialized Communication The study of neonyms makes it possible to measure the vitality of a language. In today's globalized society, the contrastive studies of different languages often give very valuable information about the degree of balance, harmonization or interference between different languages, and more particularly, between languages in contact. In fact, in the domain of linguistic mediation, many professionals --such as translators, terminologists, experts, technical writers and reviewers-- working in fields as diverse as teaching, specialized journalism, museography, translation, information management, automatic processing of texts, etc., frequently identify new specialized concepts that need to be filled with new lexical units or with semantically-recycled lexical units. Consequently, these professionals are used to making decisions that do not always satisfy everyone. One of the fields in which neonymy is Particularly crucial is that of terminology planning. The contributors to this special issue will be asked to explain how they approach specialized neologisms in the context of specialized communication, giving a tentative answer to the following questions: - Are the everyday, common words useful to denominate new specialized concepts? - Can specialized neologisms be directly transferred from one language to another? - What resources are available in languages to give a name to a new concept? - What is the best neonym for a new reality? - How can the needs for neonymy be detected? - How can a neologism of a specific field be detected? - What are the most useful tools to automate the processing of specialized neologisms? etc. The editors invite submissions that present innovative research work or articles addressing a central conceptual, theoretical, and/or empirical investigation on specialized neology. Authors may want to deal with one or several of the following issues: 1. Theoretical approaches to neonymy or specialized neology. 2. Descriptive and contrastive studies in specialized neology. 3. Social and sociolinguistic aspects of specialized neology. 4. Communicative and cognitive aspects of specialized neology. 5. Neologisms and specialized fields. 6. Specialized neology in language planning. 7. New tools for neonymy work in terminology. 8. Neology in professional settings. Submissions Papers should be written with Word and comprise between 20-30 pages. More information on formatting requirements can be found on the John Benjamins website (www.benjamins.com). English is preferred (80% of the contents), but submissions in French, Spanish or German will be considered. Each issue of Terminology contains up to six articles.

This opportunity is part of the Linguistic Institute 2011, a bi-annual international event which is being held for the first time ever in Boulder, Colorado. It offers a wide range of courses in language documentation by renowned researchers, including two intensive courses in linguistic Field Methods (Nick Evans from Australia, and Sally Rice from Canada), courses on issues on language endangerment (Nora England and Eladio Mateo-Toledo from Mexico, and David and Maya Bradley from Australia), as well as courses featuring particular languages or language families (David Rood on Siouan languages, Alex Fran?ois on Oceanic languages, Jean-Pierre Koenig and Karin Michelson on Iroquian languages, Gregory Guy on language in Latin America, and Heidi Harley on the Hiaki (Yaqui) language. Overall, the Institute will feature around 80 courses in various sub-fields of linguistics relevant to anyone interested in language documentation, including courses in syntax, semantics, phonetics, phonology, morphology, typology, language and interaction, linguistic anthropology and sociolinguistics, areal and historical linguistics, and psycholinguistics, among others. These courses are open to anyone, and one can register as an affiliate if not interested in academic credit. The courses meet twice a week for four weeks. There are also one-time workshops being offered that are open to the public. These include practical workshops on fieldwork tools such as ELAN, FLEX and Toolbox, as well as workshops on more theoretical interests including the Sociolinguistics of Language Endangerment, Interactional Foundations of Language, and Sociophonetics. In addition, the Society for the Study of Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA) will hold it's annual convention in Boulder in conjunction with the Institute. The Linguistics Institute is a unique event which attracts faculty, graduate students, business professionals working in fields related to linguistics, and interested members of the public for an intensive, month-long experience. It's presence in Boulder recognizes CU's long involvement as a leader in the field of language documentation.

Maybe I did something wrong, but I don't understand this at all. In any event, you can find a version of the map mentioned above also by just Googling "Mound City, MO" and clicking on the map. It will give you the necessary road map. Note that there are no bridges over the Missouri River near White Cloud. The nearest is at Rulo, NE, and from there you backtrack to White Cloud, KS. The other possibility is St. Joseph, MO, but that's out of the way if you stay at the Eagle's Nest Motel.

Greetings to all, We are writing to inform conference attendees about how anticipated flooding along the Missouri River will affect lodging arrangements for the Siouan conference later this month. After consultation with tribal chairman Tim Rhodd and the manager of the Eagle?s Nest motel, we are recommending that all conference attendees who have reserved rooms at the Eagle?s Nest motel cancel these reservations immediately and make reservations in Hiawatha, KS, or Falls City, NE, at the motels listed below. The reason for this is the imminent flooding, which will make roads impassable, requiring extensive detours to get from the Eagle?s Nest motel on the east side of the river to the conference location at the tribal complex on the west side of the river. We apologize for this inconvenience and extra expense to conference attendees. While there was minor flooding in the area last year, we had no way of anticipating this year?s expected extensive flooding caused by the Corps of Engineers releasing water from upstream. We were pleased that the tribe was able to offer such discounted conference rates at the Eagle?s Nest motel, and we were looking forward to conference business supporting this tribal enterprise. We are sorry to report that the motels in Hiawatha, KS, and Falls City, NE, are not able to match the conference rate at the tribe?s Eagle?s Nest motel. Nevertheless, the rates at these motels seem reasonable and should provide good accommodations for conference attendees. Both Hiawatha and Falls City are approximately 20 miles from the conference location. Please note that those with reservations at the casino cabins do NOT need to cancel their reservations, since the casino cabins are just a mile south of the tribal complex. However, all attendees should plan their travel routes to avoid highways running through river lowlands, including but not limited to 159 from MO to NE and 7 from NE to KS.

The reason for this is the imminent flooding, which will make roads impassable, requiring extensive detours to get from the Eagle?s Nest motel on the east side of the river to the conference location at the tribal complex on the west side of the river. We apologize for this inconvenience and extra expense to conference attendees. While there was minor flooding in the area last year, we had no way of anticipating this year?s expected extensive flooding caused by the Corps of Engineers releasing water from upstream. We were pleased that the tribe was able to offer such discounted conference rates at the Eagle?s Nest motel, and we were looking forward to conference business supporting this tribal enterprise. We are sorry to report that the motels in Hiawatha, KS, and Falls City, NE, are not able to match the conference rate at the tribe?s Eagle?s Nest motel. Nevertheless, the rates at these motels seem reasonable and should provide good accommodations for conference attendees. Both Hiawatha and Falls City are approximately 20 miles from the conference location. Please note that those with reservations at the casino cabins do NOT need to cancel their reservations, since the casino cabins are just a mile south of the tribal complex. However, all attendees should plan their travel routes to avoid highways running through river lowlands, including but not limited to 159 from MO to NE and 7 from NE to KS. Check In Motel 2824 North Old Hwy 73 Falls City, Nebraska, 68355 Phone: (402) 245-2433 Website: http://www.checkinmotel.com/ Rates: $52-$77, depending on number of guests and size of room. E.g., one-bed room is $52 + $5 for additional guests; two-bed room is $57-$67 + $5 for additional guests; four guests in a two-bed room is $77. Note: attendees traveling to the conference location from Falls City should take 73 S to Reserve and then head east on 330th to the tribal complex (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=falls+city+ne&daddr=39.97193,-95.55275+to:3345+thrasher+road+white+cloud+ks&hl=en&geocode=FaNHYwId9zpN-ik5Zg2_B3GVhzEmAn-sNmK2vA%3BFVrsYQIdEvtN-il3s8oaKmWVhzEEBgzXaerlVQ%3BFRI9YgIdRcxQ-imrUfYhEl2VhzHsOvWafB_mzQ&mra=dpe&mrsp=1&sz=11&via=1&sll=40.02814,-95.500031&sspn=0.220829,0.4422&ie=UTF8&z=11) Hiawatha Lodge (across from McDonald?s) 101 Lodge Rd.

Message-ID: A few days ago I sent some driving instructions from Kansas City or St. Joseph, MO to the conference site. "The route to the conference from there is US highway 56 west to Kansas state highway 7, then north to White Cloud. Once you are within the state of Kansas you can call 511 for road closing information." The mention of U.S. route 56 was WRONG. It should read US highway 36 (three six), NOT 56. My bad; sorry about that. And Jimm is right. There could be flooding on US 36 at Wathena, KS, just across the bridge from St. Joseph, MO. The KS National Guard has been dispatched to this area to help with flood protection. It would be a good idea to check with state authorities in MO, KS or NE before committing to a particular crossing point on the Missouri River. The telephone number in Kansas is 511 from within the state. I'll try to find out for MO and NE. See everybody soon!

Message-ID: I think Jimm means I-29 rather than 129. The interstate is flooded and closed north of the KS/NE state line. IF you're coming south on Interstate 29 from I-80, get off at Nebraska City and continue south on US 75 to US 73, then south to Hiawatha. If you're driving north from Kansas City this does not affect you. Thus far you can drive to St. Jo and then cross the MO river on US 36. Then go north to White Cloud on KS highway 7, or continue on 36 to Hiawatha, KS. > Note: #129 from Peru, NE to Rockport, MO is closed due to flooding of Missouri River.

The updated CFP can be found below. Please forward it to anyone who might be interested. With kind regards, The Guest Editors, ----------------------------------------------------- CFP: DEADLINE EXTENDED for Special Issue of Terminology 18:1 (2012). Neology in Specialized Communication ***** PAPERS DUE 18 JULY 2011***** IMPORTANT DATES Submission date for full paper: July 18th 2011 Acceptance/Rejection notice: September 30th 2011 Final papers due: November 15th 2011 Special Issue of Terminology 18:1 (2012). Neology in Specialized Communication The study of neonyms makes it possible to measure the vitality of a language. In today's globalized society, the contrastive studies of different languages often give very valuable information about the degree of balance, harmonization or interference between different languages, and more particularly, between languages in contact. In fact, in the domain of linguistic mediation, many professionals --such as translators, terminologists, experts, technical writers and reviewers-- working in fields as diverse as teaching, specialized journalism, museography, translation, information management, automatic processing of texts, etc., frequently identify new specialized concepts that need to be filled with new lexical units or with semantically-recycled lexical units. Consequently, these professionals are used to making decisions that do not always satisfy everyone. One of the fields in which neonymy is Particularly crucial is that of terminology planning. The contributors to this special issue will be asked to explain how they approach specialized neologisms in the context of specialized communication, giving a tentative answer to the following questions: - Are the everyday, common words useful to denominate new specialized concepts? - Can specialized neologisms be directly transferred from one language to another? - What resources are available in languages to give a name to a new concept? - What is the best neonym for a new reality? - How can the needs for neonymy be detected? - How can a neologism of a specific field be detected? - What are the most useful tools to automate the processing of specialized neologisms? etc. The editors invite submissions that present innovative research work or articles addressing a central conceptual, theoretical, and/or empirical investigation on specialized neology. Authors may want to deal with one or several of the following issues: 1. Theoretical approaches to neonymy or specialized neology. 2. Descriptive and contrastive studies in specialized neology. 3. Social and sociolinguistic aspects of specialized neology. 4. Communicative and cognitive aspects of specialized neology. 5. Neologisms and specialized fields. 6. Specialized neology in language planning. 7. New tools for neonymy work in terminology. 8. Neology in professional settings. Submissions Papers should be written with Word and comprise between 20-30 pages. More information on formatting requirements can be found on the John Benjamins website (www.benjamins.com). English is preferred (80% of the contents), but submissions in French, Spanish or German will be considered. Each issue of Terminology contains up to six articles.
