Meeting Description:

Recognition, regulation, revitalisation: place names and indigenous languages

The Department of South African Sign Language and Deaf Studies (SASLDS) at the
University of the Free State (UFS), in partnership with the Joint IGU/ICA
Commission on Toponymy, is pleased to announce the next international
bi-annual symposium on place names. Inspiration for the ISPN 2019 theme stems
from the fact that the United Nations have declared 2019 as the International
Year of Indigenous Languages.

The toponymic landscape of any place is inscribed with names from different
periods of human history. These place names are not only records of natural
and social events, but also of indigenous languages and language contact. Very
often, place names are all that remain of certain languages and even
communities. However, place names are often not recorded in their original
languages but have been adapted or translated into other languages over time.
Researching the etymology of place names is one way of uncovering this
treasure of indigenous knowledge. ISPN 2019 aims to explore the processes of
researching, maintaining, and restoring indigenous place names, as well as the
preservation and promotion of the indigenous languages from which these place
names originate. 


Call for Papers:

Abstracts (250 words) can be submitted online at
http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/ISPN2019 in the following (but not limited to)
categories of research by 4 March 2019:

- Place names and indigenous languages
- Etymology of indigenous place names
- Regulation and standardisation of indigenous place names
- Indigenous place names and language
development/maintenance/promotion/revitalisation
- Indigenous place names as artefacts of languages, cultures, or historical
events
- Other dimensions of indigenous place names: Administrative, commercial
and/or economic, cultural and historical/commemorative, physical, political or
linguistic, including place-naming in Sign Language(s) and by deaf communities
