Meeting Description:

The deadline for the submission of papers to the Athabascan/Dene Languages
Conference (ALC) to be held June 25-27 2010 in Eugene, Oregon is approaching.

The Athabascan/Dene Languages Conference brings together linguists, speakers,
educators and policy makers from across the Athabascan region. Over the past two
decades this conference has become the principal forum in which members of
geographically distant, but culturally and intellectually related, Athabascan
communities can compare notes and learn from each other. 

Call for Papers

Abstracts have to be submitted by April, 1 2010.

Abstracts are invited for 30-minute presentations in all areas of
Athabascan/Dene linguistics, language documentation, language teaching, language
policy, and language revitalization. Presentations addressing the themes/special
sessions of the conference are particularly welcome

Special Session 1 "What stories and conversations can teach us"

The collection of narratives has always been an integral part of both linguistic
and anthropological work, and it is one of the important issues worked on by
many communities. The first special session has the goal of investigating
narrative data from all perspectives in order to stimulate new research and
discussion.

The genre of conversation on the other hand has long been neglected, partially
because of the difficulties associated with recording 'natural' conversation.
However, the study of this linguistically  rich genre will not only benefit
linguistic inquiry, but is also highly relevant for language revitalization
efforts, since language learners need to be able to listen to natural
conversation in addition to other forms of language teaching.
We thus invite all presentations on linguistic, anthropological, or pedagogical
research related to narratives and conversation.

Special Session 2 "Language Technology in Revitalization"

For the second special session, we invite presentations of media used in
community efforts in language revitalization, such as e.g. websites, books,
DVD's or larger projects. The presentations can be full-length talks, but we
also strongly encourage poster-style presentations, laptop-demonstrations,
tutorials for technical workflows or simply bringing along books, posters and
other materials to be displayed during a poster-style session.

Deadline:  April, 1 2010

Submission guidelines: For oral presentations, please email your anonymous
abstracts as .doc or .pdf to olga at lithophile.com AND gabrielemueller at gmail.com.

The body of the accompanying email should include the title of the paper and the
names and contact information for all authors of the presentation. Abstracts
must fit on one page in 12-point font with 1" margins. References and longer
text examples may be included on a separate page if necessary. For contributions
to the second special session in other formats, please send us a short
description of what you would like to present and indicate the format of your
contribution.

Presentation & Publication: Presentations are allotted 20 minutes plus 10
minutes for discussion. Presentations in the second special session may have
other formats (shorter presentations, tutorials, posters, demo's,...).
Presented papers will be published as a volume of the Alaska Native Language
Center Working Papers.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
