\nConvener, and the Conference Organizing Committee, look forward to

\nCALL FOR PAPERS
\nThe theme of the Conference is the documentation, description and

\nand culture for the maintenance and promotion of such languages. The
\nKalasha language and tradition have been chosen as a case study
\nregarding both its possible linguistic and cultural links to Ancient
\nGreece. Moreover, practical suggestions concerning language
\ndocumentation processes (e.g. fieldwork projects) and language
\nrevitalization methods (e.g. Dictionary\/Grammar formats, textbooks,
\netc.) will be most welcome.
\nThe Conference will have two sections, (a) the Linguistics and (b) the
\nculture and tradition section of endangered languages, with the main
\nfocus on the Kalasha as a case study. Therefore the audience will be
\nacademics from both the linguistics and the Anthropology and Culture
\nDepartments.
