Symposium on Historical-Comparative Linguistics for Language Revitalization 
June 29-30, 2019
Invited Keynote Speakers: Marianne Mithun and Pam Munro

The theme of this symposium is connections between historical-comparative linguistics and language revitalization - broadly speaking, how historical-comparative methods can be brought to bear to benefit language revitalization, and also how the study of languages undergoing revitalization can inform questions of general interest in the study of language change. Included as part of the 2019 LSA Linguistic Institute (hosted at UC Davis), the symposium will bring a group of scholars and practitioners whose language revitalization and reclamation work draws on historical-comparative methods.

The conference invites papers addressing questions related to connections between historical linguistics and language revitalization, including but not limited the ones outlined above. 

The deadline for submissions is January 31, 2019.
