The theme of this workshop is meaning and translation in language documentation. The goal of the workshop is to highlight and discuss theoretical and practical issues in working on semantics and pragmatics in endangered languages documentation, and especially issues of translation and interpretation of a documentary corpus. Among the issues to be considered will be:

1. What is the role of translation and translators in documentation?

2. Are expressions of meaning - including translation (depending perhaps on who translates) - part of the documentary corpus itself or something separate?

3. What defines the boundaries between a corpus and its interpretation(s)?

4. Approaches to semantics in language documentation

5. Approaches to pragmatics in language documentation
