CoLang 2014 Updates: Scholarships, Courses, and Registration News

Thu Apr 17 14:43:47 UTC 2014

Dear Ari,

I sent your question on to the folks handling CoLang at UT Arlington, so they should get back to you soon. And if you have any other questions, please send them to uta2014institute at gmail.com.  (I would be happy to help you, but I'm not actually involved in organizing CoLang, though I'll be an instructor there- I'm just forwarding their e-mails to the ILAT list by request).

But if I understand your question, and if I understand how this will work at CoLang.... the field methods language is only for the 4 week field methods part (the practicum). The two weeks of workshops are actually separate from the 4 week practicum; you can do only the 2 week workshops without doing the field methods language practicum. But if you do the field methods, whatever language you choose has no affect on what you do during the workshops. But, you'll get a better and official answer from the folks at UTA, so I would go by what they say.

Thanks,

Greetings,

Do the "4 field method languages" selected influence the 2 week workshop sessions, or just the actual field work?

I am hoping the latter is true, as I was hoping to bring my own examples from Montana Salish to work with during the workshop sessions by way of applications.

Looking forward to your reply! Thank you!
Best,
Ari

We have additional updates and information on CoLang 2014, the Institute on Collaborative Language Research, which offers training in language documentation, revitalization, and field methodologies.  CoLang 2014 will take place June 16-27, 2014 for two week workshop sessions, with many participants staying on an additional month to enroll in the field methods courses, which run June 30 - July 25, 2014.  CoLang 2014 will take place at the University of Texas at Arlington. Full information is online athttp://tinyurl.com/colang2014 or inquiries may be sent touta2014institute at gmail.com<mailto:uta2014institute at gmail.com> for more information.

CoLang 2014 scholarship notices, from the Linguistic Society of American and the internal awards given by the local organizers at UT Arlington, have started going out.  All four field methods languages have been finalized:  Alabama<http://www.ethnologue.com/language/akz> (Muskogean; [akz]) with Dr. Mary Linn; Apoala Mixtec<http://www.ethnologue.com/language/mip> (Otomanguean; [mip]; note this section will requires Spanish proficiency to work with the Mixtec speakers) with Dr. Christian DiCanio; Enya<http://www.ethnologue.com/language/gey> (Bantu; [gey]) with Dr. Amanda Miller; and Innu<http://www.ethnologue.com/language/MOE> (Algonquian; [moe]) with Dr. Monica Macauley.  Seats are still available in all four sections.

We encourage participants to consider registering as early as possible, since some of our workshops are already nearing enrollment caps.

Early bird registration prices have been extended to April 30.  (A deposit of $150 is allowed if paying by credit card.) All costs must be paid in full by that date in order to stay registered in the selected courses and not incur additional costs.  The registration site is currently open at http://tinyurl.com/Register4CoLang<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RREwoCKTUYBrlfGXJZ81mn6F1-auv8gGe7M5aQOMTccjuhq5ylNV0gba_1QIZ5OVDriOJkDcNx4lzp4fPoo2r1XPK7rcMcdVEQJi2iLC7AFcDbNCpcQ3Prmp5e6CJSZumHIsJVR-oWvYhZAy42pJvOmO8vlaX5aTb_GFKZGLSMUvHLblY5SzeQNKt2EKETV_&c=RJG-ceiOMR4zSnJPHpRu8bsEpLD1f>.  The early bird registration fee is $750 for the two weeks workshop. If a field methods course is added, the six weeks sessions costs $2250 in fees.  Note that housing, food and travel are not included in registration costs.  Scholarship recipients must complete their registration and pay any remaining costs by April 30.
