[Lingtyp] Call for applications

[Epps, Patience L]

Call: Graduate student / post-doctoral participants, Panel on Endangered Languages and Historical Linguistics, ICHL23

We invite graduate students and post-doctoral scholars to submit applications for participation in a panel on Endangered Languages and Historical Linguistics, which will take place within the 23rd International Conference of Historical Linguistics in San Antonio, Texas (July 31-August 4, 2017).

The panel on Endangered Languages and Historical Linguistics focuses on the role that contemporary initiatives in language documentation are playing in enriching our understanding of language change and language relationships, and considers the exciting future prospects for the field in light of this evolving partnership. The day-long panel will involve seven distinguished specialists, four plenary discussants, and six graduate student and/or post-doctoral participants, and will take place on August 3, 2017. Further information will appear soon on the ICHL 23 website, http://ichl23.utsa.edu/.

The students/post-doctoral scholars selected for the panel will present their own work in the form of a fifteen-minute presentation slot and associated poster within the context of the panel, will participate in the panel discussions, and will have the opportunity to interact closely with the other panel participants throughout the day. The six student/post-doctoral participants will receive funding for all conference-related expenses, including travel, registration, lodging, and per diem for the duration of the ICHL meeting.

Applications should include an abstract of the poster/presentation, a CV, and a letter of reference from a faculty supervisor. Abstract submissions should be a maximum of two pages in length, including references; these should draw on original research and should emphasize the contributions that the study of endangered and less-studied languages are making to the field of historical linguistics. Priority in the selection process will be given to applicants who are themselves native speakers of endangered languages.

Applications should be submitted by email to ichl23 at utsa.edu<mailto:ichl23 at utsa.edu>; please include ‘Endangered Languages and Historical Linguistics Application’ in the subject line. Abstracts submitted to this panel but not accepted for it will be automatically considered as a paper for inclusion in the general session.

Deadline for submission:  December 1, 2016.
Notifications of acceptance will be sent by February 15, 2017.
Conference registration opens December 1, 2016.
