[Tibeto-burman-linguistics] [CfP] Language Documentation Collections: Assessment and Recognition

[Hugh Paterson III]

Greetings,

Call for Papers for Language Documentation Collections: Assessment and
Recognition
[Apologies for cross-posting]

***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 and often contain audio and video
materials, representing speech, music, and cultural events.

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 published
collection of papers. We are particularly interested in insights that field
linguists, anthropologists, archivists, curators, librarians,
self-documenting communities, and other language resource creators can
provide to this discussion.

on behalf of the editorial team,
- Hugh Paterson III
