Meeting Description:

Australia has long been seen as one of the world’s most multilingual
and multicultural societies, with more than 490 languages coming from
around 300 ancestries and cultural traditions (ABS, 2021, 2022). For
decades, the language and cultural maintenance of various immigrant
groups have been under investigation by many scholars, not only in
linguistics but also in history, sociology, anthropology, and many
others. This work has amassed a large body of immigrant language data,
that provides information about how Australia’s immigration history
has contributed to the country today.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together scholars working
with language corpora from across different disciplines. The workshop
is being run as part of the Language Data Commons of Australia
(LDaCA), which is working to build national research infrastructure
for the Humanities and Social Sciences, facilitating sustainable
access to and controlled use of digital language corpora for
linguists, scholars across the Humanities and Social Sciences, and
non-academics.
The workshop would consist of two main parts:
(i)                  presentations on Australian immigrant language
data collected from scholars across disciplines, and
(ii)                a panel discussion on needs and challenges around
managing and archiving immigrant language data in a way that is
ethical, legal and culturally sensitive, and how LDaCA can help
support that
