Linguistic Field(s): Anthropological Linguistics
Call Deadline: 15-Mar-2008
Meeting Description:
We at the Alaska Native Language Center (ANLC), University of Alaska Fairbanks, are planning an informal workshop on how linguistic knowledge can form a link between scientific inquiry and indigenous perspectives of climate. Participants will include linguists, natural scientists, and cultural anthropologists as well as speakers of indigenous languages.
Call for Papers
This workshop focuses on the question: How can knowledge of the language (both speaking expertise and knowledge of linguistic structure) inform natural science? Discussion of this question will be facilitated both by paper presentations and by discussion groups focused on particular topics:
Topic 1: Comparing vocabularies: How does knowledge of indigenous classifications (e.g. of land/landforms, ice, water etc.) inform scientific research? (depending on the number of suggestions, we can break this topic up into several subtopics)
Topic 2: What can we learn from Oral Histories?
Topic 3: Naming systems: Place names and month/season names. What do these names tell us about climate change?
We invite abstract submissions for all topics mentioned above. We are open to your suggestions as we further refine (and add to) the structure of the workshop; however, native language must be a significant factor in all discussions.
We would especially like to see proposals for ''mixed'' group presentations including a speaker of a relevant native language.
For questions and abstract submissions, please contact Olgalithophile.com
