Date: 29-Nov-2005 From: Elena Benedicto <ebenedipurdue.edu> Subject: The Languages of Central America Caribbean Coast Full Title: The Languages of Central America Caribbean Coast Date: 17-Jul-2006 - 21-Jul-2006 Location: Sevilla, Spain, Spain Contact Person: Elena Benedicto Meeting Email: < click here to access email > Web Site: http://www.personal.us.es/tutatis/52ICA Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics Language Family(ies): Arawakan; Chibchan; Creole; Mayan; Misumalpan; Sign Language Call Deadline: 30-Nov-2005 Meeting Description: This Symposium wants to be a meeting point for studies, from different perspectives and approaches, on the indigenous and local languages of the Caribbean Coast (including Sign Languages). With that in mind, the Symposium will (non-exhaustively) articulate around three areas: 1. Basic linguistic descriptions which can advance the level of understanding of the structure of the languages of the region, and thus contribute to both typological and formal theoretical studies. 2. Socio-linguistic issues, including language policies and ways of articulating language-society. 3. Issues of ‘good practices’ in research methodologies, including the notion of empowerment and approaches of participatory research, how to integrate the input of the language community, the active participation and training of members of the language community in research projects, and ways in which linguistic projects can optimally be organized in the context of the Coast. Last Call for Submissions - Deadline, Nov. 30, 2005 CALL FOR PAPERS The Languages of the Central American Caribbean Coast: Articulating Society, Culture in the Present, Past and Future. http://www.personal.us.es/tutatis/52ICA icacaribpurdue.edu A Symposium of the 52nd International Congress of Americanists (52 ICA). Sevilla (Spain), July 17-21, 2006 http://www.52ica.com/ Organizers: Elena Benedicto, Purdue University ebenedipurdue.edu Vicky Camacho, Universidad de Sevilla tutatisus.es Webpage: http://www.personal.us.es/tutatis/52ICA -About the Symposium -Abstracts -Other Info -About the Symposium- The Central American Caribbean region is a highly multilingual and multicultural area, with a complex system of linguistic hierarchies and interactions. This linguistic and cultural complexity not only derives from the multiplicity of levels of linguistic interaction, but is compounded by the lack and dispersion of in-depth studies on the structure of the languages in particular as well as on the socio-linguistics of the situation and on aspects of 'good-practices' in research. This Symposium wants to be a meeting point for studies, from different perspectives and approaches, on the indigenous and local languages of the Caribbean Coast (including Sign Languages). With that in mind, the Symposium will (non-exhaustively) articulate around three areas: 1. Basic linguistic descriptions which can advance the level of understanding of the structure of the languages of the region, and thus contribute to both typological and formal theoretical studies. 2. Socio-linguistic issues, including language policies and ways of articulating language-society. 3. Issues of 'good practices' in research methodologies, including the notion of empowerment and approaches of participatory research, how to integrate the input of the language community, the active participation and training of members of the language community in research projects, and ways in which linguistic projects can optimally be organized in the context of the Coast. -Abstracts- Abstracts can be sent for 30-minute talks, on either of the topics described above.
