Increasingly, researchers in several fields have noted a positive > correlation between language maintenance and wellbeing in endangered > language communities. While the nature of the connection between language > and wellbeing remains the subject of much debate, the existence of a > connection is not entirely unexpected, given the range of outcomes > associated with wellbeing. > > In addition, languages encode knowledge systems, so language loss > represents not only the loss of a communicative system, but also the loss > of traditional knowledge systems. Importantly, traditional knowledge > systems encode cultural practices related to well-being. Understanding the > connections between language and wellbeing will potentially have > implications for public health and policy and beyond, but also for language > researchers, since traditional knowledge systems are among the most > threatened domains of endangered language. Knowledge of esoteric domains > such as botanical classification and traditional medicines is forgotten > well before basic vocabulary and language structure. Hence, these areas of > traditional knowledge are precisely the areas which need to be prioritized > by language documenters. > > Exploring the connections between language and wellbeing is potentially > transformational for language documentation and conservation, and thus it > will be the theme for the 5th ICLDC. We aim to build on the strong momentum > created by the 1st–4th ICLDCs to discuss research and revitalization > approaches yielding rich records that can benefit both the field of > language documentation and speech communities. We hope you will join us. > > For more information and links to past conferences, visit our conference > website: http://icldc-hawaii.org/ > > > 1. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: GENERAL CONFERENCE TALKS, POSTERS, AND ELECTRONIC > POSTERS > > Proposal deadline: August 31, 2016 > > *Topics* > We especially welcome abstracts that address the conference theme, “Vital > Voices: Linking Language and Wellbeing” (see description above).

Your proposal should only > include > your presentation title, abstract, and list of references (if > applicable). > - If you are including references/citations to your own work in your > abstract, please be sure to replace your name(s) with "Author". For > example, if you are Ted Smith and you wrote an article in 2009, which > you > are citing in your file (i.e., Smith (2009) ), you would change it to > "Author (2009)." If you are including a list of references at the end, > also make sure to anonymize any of your publications similarly as well. > - Please note that your reference list is not counted in your 400-word > abstract maximum, only the main abstract text. > - Please save your abstract as an MS WORD DOCUMENT or PDF FILE. MS Word > is preferred. However, if you are using special fonts, special > characters, > or diagrams in your abstract, a PDF file is recommended to make sure it > displays as you intend. > - For a FILE NAME, use an abbreviated version of your title.

Does it suggest that the > paper/poster will be well organized and clearly presented? > - Importance of the topic: Is this an important topic within the area? > Is the paper/poster likely to make an original contribution to > knowledge in > the field? Will it stimulate discussion? > - Contribution to the discipline: For talks, does the presentation make > a methodological or theoretical contribution to the discipline? If not > (e.g., project descriptions), could the presentation be submitted as a > poster or electronic poster? > > > 3.
