Meeting Description:

Language Documentation and Archiving 2024: Recent advances in language
documentation and archiving
Berlin & Online, 4-6 September 2024

Many lessons have been learned in the last 20 years of documentation
and archiving, and all over the world activists, communities,
researchers, and artists have developed documentation projects, apps,
art installations, archival collections, films, and multimedia
projects telling the many stories and histories of Indigenous
languages and their creators and keepers. This conference brings
together people working in this area to present papers, posters, and
conduct training sessions aiming to develop capacity, present new
approaches to documentation and preservation, and improve access to
primary records. It offers models of how we can create, strengthen,
enhance, and amplify language records. The conference will bring new
ideas and views together, share knowledge and support the communities
who are working to record and revitalise Indigenous languages.

2nd Call for Papers:

The deadline for submissions to Language Documentation & Archiving
2024 has been extended to April 15th, 2024.

We invite submissions for both 20 minute conference presentations
(15+5 format) and posters. Please note that the poster session will be
online-only. Authors may submit only one abstract as the first author,
but they may be collaborators on more than one abstract submission.

Abstracts may be submitted at https://lda2024.sciencesconf.org/

We especially invite submissions on the following themes in language
documentation and archiving:

Building Relationships
 - Models for building relationships and refining approaches for
collaboration with Indigenous communities
 - Legacy collections: building relationships for discovery,
preservation, and ethically-informed access
 - Critical perspectives on language archiving: post- or neo-colonial?
 - Identifying and responding to support needs and ethical
considerations for improving the accessibility of language materials
 - Language documentation practice as a medium for Indigenous agency
and revitalization
 - Models for engaging and supporting Indigenous communities in
collaborative and community-driven documentation efforts
 - How to work with differing expectations among speech community
members

Tools and Techniques
 - Documentary tools and practices (e.g., remote methods, tools &
methods for projects with specific foci, tools & workflows for
managing collaborative projects, etc.)
 - Indigenous ways of teaching & learning for documentation and
language support
 - Enhancing annotation practices: orthography, translation,
ethnography, and ethics
 - Improving tools to support the creation of archivable collections
(e.g., ongoing software projects)
 - Using social media and other technologies to support and promote
minoritised languages

Impacts of Documentation and Archiving
 - Reports on how archived materials are being used by Indigenous
communities
 - What insights into language have documentary methods provided?
 - From paper to digital, the qualitative differences of language
records
 - Archives presentation/poster on what they have done over the past
decade and what they plan on doing

Planning and Design for the Decade
 - Reports from Indigenous-led documentation, training, and
revitalization projects
 - Language archiving: current assessment and future prospects
 - Approaches and solutions for making digital archives more navigable
and engaging to Indigenous communities
 - Models for providing access where there is little or no internet
access
 - Engaging the broader public through artistic and educational
initiatives drawing on archived language materials
 - Revising OLAC metadata and other standards for accessible archiving

We are pleased to announce the plenary speakers for this year’s
conference:
Valentina Vapnarsky (Director of research at the CNRS; Director of
studies, chair of Linguistic Anthropology, at the École Pratique des
Hautes Études)
and
Takurua Parent (PhD student at Université de la Polynésie française)

On the two days preceding the conference, September 2-3, 2024 there
will be free online trainings on a variety of language documentation
and archiving topics. On September 3rd, there will be an in-person
workshop on using historical texts in language revitalisation. For
