Meeting Description:

The Symposium for American Indian Languages (SAIL) is dedicated to discussion
of the documentation & description, conservation, and vitalization of the
Indigenous languages of the Americas.

SAIL provides a forum for the exchange of scholarly research. It brings
together scholars, members of the Indigenous communities, native speakers,
educators and language activists who are interested in sharing experiences and
best practices on topics related to language documentation, conservation,
reclamation vitalization.

SAIL welcomes the active participation of Indigenous communities, Native
language speakers, and those interested in reclamation, vitalization and
preservation of their heritage languages and cultures.


Call for Papers:

Abstracts can be submitted for any of these three sessions:

Special Session: Indigenous Languages Writing in Language Reclamation

We invite the submission of papers that explore the role of writing for
language reclamation and language vitalization efforts. Some topics we are
interested in exploring in this Special Session include:
Children and/or adult literacy pedagogy
Orthography development
Writing and language policy
Developing and teaching writing in multilingual contexts
Role of linguistics in orthography development
Non-linguistic factors involved in orthography development

Parasession: Language Documentation, Description, & Theory

The parasession welcomes papers on language documentation, revitalization, and
descriptive and/or theoretical work (phonology, morphosyntax, semantics,
pragmatics), historical linguistics, anthropological linguistics, etc.) that
draw their data from community-based participatory research.
(In line with our goals of reaching out to Indigenous communities, we
encourage scholars to present their descriptive & theoretical work in a way
that informs on the community efforts to revitalize/maintain their language).

Poster Session:

We welcome research on any topic covering American Indian languages (e.g.,
language documentation, description & theory, historical linguistics,
sociolinguistics, fieldwork, language revitalization, teaching pedagogy,
language policy, community-based programs, use of digital technologies for
language documentation and language revitalization). Indigenous communities
are also encourage to present and promote their language
revitalization/maintenance initiatives.
