Endangered Languages - What Role for the The Specialist?
--------------------------------------------------
Edinburgh, Scotland - 25-27 September 1998
CALL FOR PAPERS
The workshop will provide a forum for researchers and activists working for
the maintenance of indigenous languages that face an uncertain future.
CONFERENCE SCOPE AND AIMS
In recent years, number of support organizations have established
themselves, all aiming to mobilize research effort, popular opinion and
money in defence of declining languages.
The question is often raised of how these outsiders can really help the
cause that they have identified. Language communities must have inner
strength in order to survive, or at least the will and the means to go on
using their traditional tongues. Outside organizations, however
well-meaning, cannot supply such qualities directly. Some ask whether the
organizations even have the right to try to interfere.
This conference, the second organized by the Foundation for Endangered
Languages, is seeking answers to one part of this question. How can
language specialists, whether professional linguists, educators, media
professionals or whoever, actually contribute to language maintenance?
We shall be looking for testimony on the actual effects of professional
involvement on small language communities throughout the world: both
community members, and the professionals themselves will have their tales
to tell.
We do not expect a common set of conclusions to emerge from this sharing of
experience and analysis. But we shall be looking at the variety we find,
and asking if it points to a good way to define the roles of the support
organizations: how they can complement one another, perhaps sharing
techniques, perhaps transmitting knowledge?
Some Themes that need to be addressed:
When does the professional best act as an external consultant,
when as a team-player?
What are useful relations:
among grammarians,lexicographers and sociolinguists?
among community-leaders, language-activists and language-scientists?
among ordinary speakers, creative users, broadcasters and publishers?
What have been great successes in specialist language work, and what
motivated the people responsible?
How does local work benefit from EL support organizations with a
global
or continental view? Is the need for technical assistance,
production of
materials, publicity, funding, political agitation?
Should EL support organizations themselves specialize?
If so how: regionally, or by function?
The dates will be 25-27 September 1998, and the venue the Pollock Halls in
Edinburgh. There will be a preliminary volume of proceedings distributed at
the Conference.
Presentations will last twenty minutes each, with a further ten minutes for
discussion. All presentations should be accessible largely in English, but
use of the languages of interest, for quotation or exemplification, may
well be appropriate.
