CFP: 9th International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation (Honolulu, Hawai’i)

Deadline: August 31 (Workshops); September 30 (Papers, etc)

The Department of Linguistics and the National Foreign Language Resource Center at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa are pleased to announce the…9th International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation: Navigating new realities in diaspora communities

March 6-9, 2025

Honolulu, Hawai‘i, USA

One notable achievement of the modern language documentation and conservation movement has been the (re)centering of community in language work. Rather than viewing language as an abstract system, documentary practice increasingly begins with the community, is guided by the community, and contributes to ongoing maintenance of language in the community. At the same time the nature of community is changing. Global forces of migration and urbanization have resulted in the displacement of language teachers and learners from their traditional communities, and in many cases these diaspora communities are now larger than the original communities from which they arose. And yet, whether intentionally or not, the practice of language documentation and conservation has largely ignored the diaspora in favor of more traditional undisplaced communities.
