[Sealang-l] [CfP] Extension: Language Documentation Collections: Assessment and Recognition

[Hugh Paterson III]

#applogies for cross-posting#

Greetings,

The previously announced call for papers for _Language Documentation
Collections: Assessment and Recognition_ is being extended to at least
October 2021.

There is an online event September 2nd 11AM-12 (noon) EST.
https://forms.gle/cpcDMeEVsBMR1E4q6

Additional communication with the editors is encouraged.


***Overview***
 Language Documentation is an interdisciplinary approach to creating
multi-purpose collections that exhibit and support language use—often for
languages used by ethno-linguistic minorities. These collections are often
made as part of linguistic work. However, many ethno-linguistic collections
are created by people outside of linguistics.

We are seeking papers which address issues on how these collections should
be assessed as part of scholarly work and how recognition should be given
for the curation of these collections as part of scholarly work.  See the
linked full call for a list of specific issues.

We are interested in presenting a broad range of perspectives in this
collection.


*** Details***
Deadline: October 31st, 2021
