Athabaskan Languages Conference and Workshop on Voice Quality, May 2001, University of California, Los Angeles

该项目支持阿萨巴斯坎语言会议的一种创新形式，这是一个年度会议，将研究人员、教师和阿萨巴斯干语社区的成员聚集在一起，相互激励，推动语言研究、阿萨巴斯卡语言教学以及少数民族和濒危语言保留方法的不断改进。阿萨巴斯坎语言家族分布在北美的大片地区，集中在加拿大西部、阿拉斯加、美国西海岸和西南部。除了纳瓦霍语之外，所有的阿萨巴斯加语言都是高度濒危的，而且研究还不完全。2001年阿萨巴斯卡语言会议将由加州大学洛杉矶分校语言学系主办，于2001年5月18-20日举行。在阿萨巴斯卡主义者调查的所有领域都会征集论文。组织的课程将集中于语言和教育学、语言和理论、新数据和社区与学院的关系。计划于2001年5月20日(星期日)举办一次关于语音质量仪器分析的特别研讨会。研究人员和教师将向声学和发音语音学专家学习如何测量他们数据中的微妙影响，这些影响以前可能没有描述过。论文征集工作将于明年1月正式发出，截止日期为2001年3月2日。

This project supports an innovative form of the Athabaskan Languages Conference, an annual conference which brings together researchers, teachers and members of Athabaskan-speaking communities to stimulate each other toward continual improvement in linguistic research, Athabaskan language pedagogy, and minority and endangered language retention methods.The Athabaskan language family is spread over a large area of North America, with concentrations in Western Canada, Alaska, the west coast of the United States, and the Southwest. With the possible exception of Navajo, all the Athabaskan languages are both highly endangered and incompletely researched.The 2001 Athabaskan Languages Conference will be hosted by the UCLA Department of Linguistics, May 18-20, 2001. Papers are solicited in all areas of Athabaskanist inquiry. Organized sessions will focus on Language and Pedagogy, Language and Theory, New Data, and Community-Academy Relations. A special workshop on the instrumental analysis of voice quality is planned for Sunday, May 20, 2001. Researchers and teachers will learn from experts in acoustic and articulatory phonetics about how to measure subtle effects in their data which may previously have gone undescribed. A formal call for papers will be issued in January, with a submission deadline of March 2, 2001.
