Meeting Description:

The Pacific Northwest (PNW) Sprachbund is large, spanning from parts
of Alaska and British Columbia, to Northern California, and as far
east as portions of Montana. The similarities of the languages were
observed by both Sapir, and then later his student Swadesh (1953).
Later linguists would go on to further describe the similarities of
languages in the area (e.g. Thompson and Kincade 1990, Beck 2000,
Mithun 2000). More recently, the area has seen thriving language
revitalization and reclamation work, often through university and
tribal partnerships, such as at the University of Oregon, Simon Fraser
University, and the University of Washington. This conference seeks to
provide a venue for language speakers, artists, communities, and
linguists to come together to share knowledge and celebrate the beauty
and diversity of languages within the PNW Sprachbund.

Call for Papers:
Anonymous abstracts are invited for talks on any topic relevant to
indigenous languages of the Pacific Northwest, a geographic area
ranging from Alaska to Northern California to Montana, and including
British Columbia. The similarities of the languages were observed by
both Sapir, and then later his student Swadesh (1953). Later linguists
would go on to further describe the similarities of languages in the
area (e.g. Thompson and Kincade 1990, Beck 2000, Mithun 2000). More
recently, the area has been a hotbed for language revitalization and
reclamation work, often through university and tribal partnerships,
such as at the University of Oregon, Simon Fraser University, and the
University of Washington. This conference seeks to provide a venue for
language speakers, artists, communities, and linguists to come
together to share knowledge and celebrate the beauty and diversity of
languages within the PNW Sprachbund.

Talks will be 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for discussion.
Abstracts should be 500 words or less (excluding examples, figures,
and / or references). Abstracts and presentations may be given in any
language. Abstracts in an indigenous language will need translations
provided for review. Individuals may submit abstracts for one
single-authored and one co-authored paper. Please indicate your
source(s) and type(s) of data in the abstract (e.g. recordings, texts,
conversational, elicited, narrative, etc.). For co-authored papers,
please indicate who plans to present the paper, who will be in
attendance, and who are the corresponding authors.

Abstracts should be submitted in .pdf format via the Abstract
