| Title | Call for Papers: Structure and Constituency of the Languages of the Americas |
| Body | From http://www.uleth.ca/conferences/wscla12 WSCLA 12: Workshop on the Structure and Constituency of the Languages of the Americas March 30th - April 1st 2007 University of Lethbridge Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Linguists working on Languages of the Americas tend to work, by default, at several interfaces. In addition to the linguistic interfaces within the formal paradigm involving various permutations of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and discourse, many linguistic fieldworkers also work towards bridging the interfaces of linguistic theory, language and linguistic education, language revitalization and various community-based or community-directed activities. We invite abstracts which address this theme as well as abstracts on the core areas of formal linguistics (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics) within any formal theoretical framework. Talks will be twenty minutes (plus ten minutes discussion). Following the tradition of this workshop, we dedicate the final day to a discussion of our practices in linking our research to work being done on language preservation and revitalization. In keeping with our theme, the discussion will relate to the interface between the goals of academic linguistic work and First Nations languages and linguistic work. Speakers on this topic will include Arok Wolvengrey, First Nations University, and Ryan Heavyhead, Red Crow Community College. Contributions in this area are also invited. Submission deadline: January 12, 2007. For more information, go to http://www.uleth.ca/conferences/wscla12 . |
