> INTRODUCTION
>
> The 5th International Conference on Language Documentation and
> Conservation (ICLDC), “Vital Voices: Linking Language & Wellbeing,” will be
> held March 2-5, 2017, at the Hawaiʻi Imin International Conference Center
> <http://www.eastwestcenter.org/about-ewc/conference-center> on the campus
> of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa <https://manoa.hawaii.edu/>. The 5th
> ICLDC is hosted by the Department of Linguistics <http://ling.hawaii.edu/>
> and
> the National Foreign Language Resource Center  <http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/
> >at
> the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
>
> The conference program will feature two keynote talks, Talk Story
> roundtable discussions, and Workshops (pending final approval of funding).
> An optional Hilo Field Study (on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi) to visit
> Hawaiian language revitalization programs in action will immediately
> precede the conference (February 28-March 1).
>
> The theme of the 5th ICLDC is “Vital Voices: Linking Language &
> Wellbeing.” Wellbeing is a state of the body and mind that encompasses the
> presence of positive moods and emotions, life satisfaction, fulfillment and
> positive functioning, and the absence of negative emotions like
> anxiety. 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.

> 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). In
> addition, we warmly welcome abstracts on other subjects in language
> documentation and conservation, which may include but are not limited to:
>
>    - Archiving matters
>    - Assessing success in documentation and revitalization strategies
>    - Community experiences of revitalization
>    - Data management
>    - Ethical issues
>    - Language planning
>    - Lexicography and grammar design
>    - Methods of assessing ethnolinguistic vitality
>    - Orthography design
>    - Teaching/learning small languages
>    - Technology in documentation – methods and pitfalls
>    - Topics in areal language documentation
>    - Training in documentation methods – beyond the university
>
>
> *Presentation formats*
> Papers will be allowed 20 minutes for presentation with 10 minutes of
> question time.
>
> Posters will be on display throughout the day of presentation. Poster
> presentations will run during the lunch. Poster presentations are
> recommended for authors who wish to present smaller, more specific topics,
> or descriptions of particular projects.
>
> Electronic posters (e-posters) are opportunities for presentations of
> software, websites, and other computer-based projects, in an environment
> that allows face-to-face interaction with the audience. Similar to a
> traditional poster session, e-poster presenters will use their own laptop
> computers to display their projects while the audience walks around,
> watching demonstrations and asking questions. E-poster sessions will take
> place during lunch in a room with tables and internet access.
>
>
> 2. ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
>
> *Rules for submission in all categories:*
>
>    - Abstracts should be submitted in English, but presentations can be in
>    any language. We particularly welcome presentations in languages of the
>    region discussed.
>    - Authors may submit no more than one individual and one co-authored
>    proposal, or no more than two co-authored proposals. In no case may an
>    author submit more than one individually-authored proposal.
>    - Proposals for general papers, posters, and electronic posters are due
>    by August 31, 2016, with notification of acceptance by October 1, 2016.
>    - We will not be accepting any proposals for panel presentations or
>    colloquia.
>    - Because of limited space, please note that the Abstract Review
>    Committee may ask that some general abstracts submitted as papers be
>    presented as posters or electronic posters instead.
>    - Selected authors will be invited to submit their conference papers to
>    the journal Language Documentation & Conservation
>    <http://www.nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/> for publication.
>
>
> *How to prepare your proposal:*
>
>    - For proposals for general papers, posters, and electronic posters: We
>    ask for abstracts of no more than 400 words for online publication so
>    that conference participants will have a good idea of the content of
> your
>    paper, and a 50-word summary for inclusion in the conference program.
>    All abstracts will be submitted to blind peer review by international
>    experts on the topic.
>    - To facilitate blind peer review, please DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR NAME OR
>    AFFILIATION in your abstract or filename. 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. For
>    example, if your presentation title is "Revitalizing Hawaiian for the
> next
>    generation: Social media tools," your filename might be
>    "Revitalizing_Hawaiian.doc" or “Revitalizing_Hawaiian_social_media.pdf"
>    - Please follow the guidelines above when preparing your abstract.
>    Submitted proposals that ignore them may be returned.
>
>
> To submit an online proposal, visit *http://icldc5.icldc-hawaii.org*
> <http://icldc5.icldc-hawaii.org/> and click on "Call For Proposals."
>
>
> *Proposal review criteria:*
>
>    - Appropriateness of the topic: Does the proposal address the themes of
>    the conference?
>    - Presentation: Is the abstract well-written? 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?
>
