Meeting Description:

The Symposium for American Indian Languages (SAIL) is dedicated to discussion
of the documentation & description, language conservation and revitalization
of the native 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 and
revitalization.

SAIL welcomes the active participation of indigenous communities, native
language speakers, and those interested in revitalization and preservation of
their heritage languages and cultures.


Call for Papers:

Special Session: International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL)

UNESCO has declared 2022-2023 as the International Decade of Indigenous
Language. The special session seeks papers that reflect UNESCO's Global Action
Plan. Topics may include Indigenous language sustainability, inclusive,
equitable life-long learning capabilities for language teachers (formal and
informal), the use of digital and media resources to aid in language
empowerment and creative expression, holistic language revitalization
activities that address food systems and traditional knowledge, climate
change, health disparities.

Parasession: 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 language community's 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 encouraged to present and promote their language
revitalization/maintenance initiatives!

Submission Process:

Abstracts should be up to 500 words or less (excluding examples and/or
references).
