Athabaskan Conference 2012

该项目将支持2012年8月15日至17日在华盛顿贝灵汉的西华盛顿大学举行的年度阿萨巴斯卡语言会议（ALC）。该会议以前从未在WWU举办过，这是一个相对方便不列颠哥伦比亚省、阿尔伯塔、育空地区、阿拉斯加和北方加州的阿萨巴斯卡社区的地方。ALC是语言学家，教育工作者，语言规划者和社区成员与阿萨巴斯卡语言工作的主要聚会。 这是促进阿萨巴斯卡主义者在理论语言学和语言文献方面的长期合作的一个关键事件，另一方面，语言学家和社区活动家参与开发或促进语言振兴计划。

This project will support the annual Athabaskan Languages Conference (ALC) at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington on August 15-17, 2012. The conference has never before been hosted at WWU, a location relatively accessible for Athabaskan communities in British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon, Alaska, and northern California. The ALC serves as the principal gathering of linguists, educators, language planners, and community members working with Athabaskan languages. It is a key event in fostering long-term collaboration between Athabaskanists working on theoretical linguistics and language documentation, on the one hand, and linguists and community activists involved in developing or fostering language revitalization programs, on the other.
