LSA -- Jan 5-8

[Mia Kalish]

I'm glad you posted, too, Sue. It is nice to know what is going on in our
community, and too often (to my mind) people think what they are doing isn't
important enough to "bother" others with. But I LOVE knowing who is going to
be there, what they are doing, what to plan for. And I love the excitement
and anticipation of knowing I am going to see people who are often too far
removed geographically to see at any other time. 

 

OBTW: I published my First, Yep, count 'em, 1, paper. It is Immersion
multimedia for adult Chiricahua language learners, In New Review of Media
and Hypermedia, December 2005 special issue, if anyone would like to read
it. It is the theoretical basis for the software I make :-).

Mia and all,
I didn't actually intend to post to ILAT, but I'm glad I did. There are a
number of good papers which will be presented (including Mia's I'm sure) at
the LSA national meetings in Alburquerque in January (5-8). I hope many
people will try to attend. The SSILA (Society for the Study of Indigenous
Languages ) is being held in concert with LSA that weekend as well. Our
'special session' is aimed at showcasing community work and community
language specialists in this national forum. 
Hope others can make it! Looking forward to seeing you there, Mia!
Happy New Year to all!
Susan

Hi, Sue & Everyone, 

 

I am going to be at the conference. I'm doing a workshop, maybe with one of
my colleagues, on how to gather information to support the kinds of
revitalization materials that keep languages off museum shelves and in the
community (one of my friends from Wales dreamed up the "in the community and
off the museum shelves" metaphor. I thought it was apt.) 

 

I/we are presenting Friday evening. 

 

Mia

Hi all,
Just to remind everyone of our special session -- I really hope we get some
attendance, given that we are the last on the list -- But I have heard from
a number of linguists who plan to stay and hear what we all have to say.
There are some guidelines for handouts on the LSA website  under a link for
'paper guidelines' See http://www.lsadc.org/info/meet-annual.cfm

I have mentioned that part of our discussion would be devoted to how
documentation feeds into revitalization so I hope that you all give that
some thought/time. Otherwise, I'm just looking forward to an active
discussion and to finding out what everyone is up to these days! 
Please forward this to any other participants -- I don't have Mary Eunice's
address or Brenda's...Thanks!

Best Wishes for a Happy New Year and see you all soon!
Susan
