2nd International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation:
Strategies for Moving Forward. Honolulu, Hawai'i, February 11-13, 2011
http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ICLDC/2011
The 2nd International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation
(ICLDC) will be held February 11-13, 2011, at the Hawai‘i Imin International
Conference Center on the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa campus. Two days of
optional technical training workshops will precede the conference (Feb. 9-10).
An optional fieldtrip to Hilo (on the Big Island of Hawai'i) to visit Hawaiian
language revitalization programs in action will immediately follow the
conference (Feb. 14-15).
The 1st ICLDC, with its theme “Supporting Small Languages Together,"
underscored the need for communities, linguists, and other academics to work in
close collaboration. The theme of the 2nd ICLDC is “Strategies for Moving
Forward." We aim to build on the strong momentum created at the 1st ICLDC and
to discuss research and revitalization approaches yielding rich, accessible
records which can benefit both the field of language documentation and speech
communities. We hope you will join us.

We welcome abstracts on best practices for language documentation and
conservation moving forward, which may include:
- Archiving matters
