***CALL FOR PROPOSALS*
Papers,  Posters, and  Technology  Showcase

PROPOSAL DEADLINE: AUGUST 31, 2018

While we especially welcome abstracts that address the conference
theme, *Connecting
Communities, Languages & Technology*, we also welcome abstracts on other
subjects in language documentation and conservation, which may include but
are not limited to:

   - Connecting communities, languages & technology
   - Archiving matters
   - Assessing success in documentation and revitalization strategies
   - Community experiences of revitalization
   - Data management
   - Ethical issues
   - Language planning
   - Lexicography and grammar design
   - Methods of assessing ethnolinguistic vitality
   - Orthography design
   - Teaching/learning small languages
   - Topics in areal language documentation
   - Training in documentation methods – beyond the university

*Presentation formats*

Papers will be allowed 20 minutes for presentation with 10 minutes of
question time.
Posters will be on display throughout the day of presentation. Poster
presentations will run during the lunch period. Poster presentations are
recommended for authors who wish to present smaller, more specific topics
or descriptions of particular projects.
Technology Showcase.  A new feature to be introduced at ICLDC 2019 is the
Technology Showcase, which is a networking event for developers, linguists,
and community members involved in creating, repurposing, or otherwise
utilizing a wide variety of technologies for language work to interact in
an informal, hands-on session. During this 2-3 hour event on Friday, March
1, developers will be given space to exhibit their tools and products, and
conference participants will have the opportunity to freely circulate and
interact with the technologies and developers. The Technology Showcase will
provide an opportunity for face-to-face contact and hopefully lead to
productive collaborations—both between developers and communities, and also
between developers and between communities who might not be aware of others
working on similar efforts. We are soliciting developers (broadly defined)
to submit proposals that outline the tool that they have developed, which
include but are not limited to software, apps, web technologies, repurposed
uses of software, novel scripts.

*Abstract submission information*

   - Abstracts should be submitted in English, but presentations can be in
   any language. We particularly welcome presentations in languages of the
   region discussed.
   - Authors may submit no more than one individual and one co-authored
   proposal (including participation in a Workshop or Talk Story Session
   proposal), or no more than two co-authored proposals. In no case may an
   author submit more than one individually-authored proposal.
   - Proposals for general papers, posters, and technology showcases are due
   by August 31, 2018, with notification of acceptance by October 1, 2018.
   - We will not be accepting any proposals for panel presentations or
   colloquia.
   - Because of limited space, please note that the Abstract Review
   Committee may ask that some general abstracts submitted as papers be
   presented as posters instead.
   - Selected authors will be invited to submit their conference papers to
   the journal Language Documentation & Conservation
   <http://www.nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/> for publication.

*How to prepare your abstract proposal*

   - Content: Proposals should describe the content of your presentation,
   including the intended audience and how it relates to the conference themes.
   - *Abstract Length*: Please limit your proposal to 400 words, not
   including references.
   - *Anonymity: *To facilitate blind peer review, please do not include
   your name or affiliation in your abstract or filename. Your proposal should
   only include your presentation title, abstract, and list of references (if
   applicable). If you are including references/citations to your own work in
   your abstract, please be sure to replace your name(s) with "Author." For
   example, if you are Ted Smith and you wrote an article in 2009, which you
   are citing in your file (i.e., Smith (2009) ), you would change it to
   "Author (2009)."  If you are including a list of references at the end,
   also make sure to anonymize any of your publications similarly as well.
   - *Format*:  Please submit your abstract as a PDF file.

*NOTE: *Please also prepare a *50-word summary* of your abstract for
inclusion in the conference program. This will be entered in a *separate
field in the submission form*, not in your abstract PDF file.

*Abstract submission system (EasyChair)*
For ICLDC 2019, we will be using the Easychair abstract submission system
for the general session submissions. You will first need to sign up for a
free Easychair Author account if you don't already have one. From there you
can submit your abstract as an Author and make any updates or modifications
to your proposal submission up to the August 31 deadline. We hope this new
system will make things easier for abstract submitters and reviewers alike.
If you should have questions about the system, please contact us
<icldc at hawaii.edu>.
