The Birgit Rausing Language Program announces its second conference, 
Humanities of the Lesser-Known, to be held September 10-11, 2010, in 
Lund, Sweden. The central focus is the documentation and description of 
endangered or lesser- known languages. The conference is divided into 
the following thematic foci: grammar, prosody, semantics and musicology, 
with a special focus on interfaces between these domains.

We aim to provide a platform to discuss interdisciplinary approaches 
connecting these domains of communication, with particular reference to 
a diverse sample of cultures.

Invited Speakers:
- Peter Austin (School of Oriental and African Studies)
- Matthew Dryer (University of Buffalo, USA)
- Sun-Ah Jun (UCLA)
- Stephen C. Levinson (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics)
- Asifa Majid (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics)
- Anthony Seeger (UCLA)

We invite submissions from all areas of linguistics and musicology of
endangered or lesser-known languages or cultures, and particularly 
welcome papers which deal with the interfaces between different domains 
of human communication. Individual papers (20 minutes plus 10 minutes 
for discussion) and poster talks can be submitted through the conference 
website from November 15 until February 28, 2010.
