The International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC) has become a central meeting for research on language documentation and conservation, which brings together leading researchers, students, and community members around the important science of language documentation. The 2023 ICLDC offers its highly-diverse audience opportunities for formal and informal science education and training that includes new methodologies and best practices in cutting-edge language documentation and that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries. Participants include undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty from linguistics, anthropology, biology, computer science, and other academic disciplines. ICLDC has also included a large number of citizen scientists from historically underrepresented groups in the sciences, such as Native Americans, Native Alaskans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, offering opportunities for broadening participation in the language sciences as one of the broader impacts of this conference.In addition to its other crucial scientific benefits, research in language documentation and conservation has the potential to increase awareness of and interest in a greater emphasis on justice in research in the language sciences. Justice goals have always been central to community-based and community-led language work, even if they have not always been primary among goals for academic linguistics. By bringing together stakeholders from multiple areas in the language sciences, the special theme of the 2023 ICLDC aims to normalize the idea that linguists have social responsibilities that extend beyond the strictly linguistic. The International Decade of Indigenous Languages presents an opportune time for the field of language documentation and conservation to develop a disciplinary framework that establishes justice as both the starting point and end goals of this work. The field of linguistics has not yet held an international conversation on achieving justice within language documentation and conservation, what role language workers play in achieving justice in intersecting realms, and how justice can critically inform, and reform, best practices in language documentation and conservation work. The 2023 ICLDC is a venue for this critical and timely conversation, providing a key opportunity for practitioners to build relationships and develop the social infrastructure necessary for working toward a justice-driven model of language work.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

国际语言文献和保护会议(ICLDC)已经成为语言文献和保护研究的中心会议，它将主要的研究人员、学生和社区成员聚集在语言文献这一重要的科学领域。2023年国际最不发达国家问题国际会议为非常多样化的受众提供了正式和非正式科学教育和培训的机会，其中包括尖端语言文件方面的新方法和最佳做法，并跨越了传统学科的界限。参与者包括来自语言学、人类学、生物学、计算机科学和其他学科的本科生、研究生和教职员工。国际最不发达国家委员会还吸收了大量来自科学界历史上代表性不足的群体的公民科学家，如美洲原住民、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛民，为扩大对语言科学的参与提供了机会，这是这次会议的更广泛影响之一。除了其他重要的科学好处外，语言文献和保护方面的研究有可能提高人们对更多地强调语言科学研究中的正义的认识和兴趣。正义目标一直是以社区为基础和社区主导的语言工作的核心，即使它们并不总是学术语言学目标中的首要目标。通过将来自语言科学多个领域的利益攸关方聚集在一起，2023年国际最不发达国家问题国际会议的特别主题旨在正常化语言学家负有超出严格语言学范畴的社会责任的想法。国际土著语言十年为语言记录和保护领域提供了一个恰当的时机，可以制定一个学科框架，将司法作为这项工作的起点和最终目标。语言学界尚未就在语言记录和保护工作中实现正义、语言工作者在交叉领域中实现正义的作用以及司法如何批判性地宣传和改革语言记录和保护工作中的最佳做法举行国际对话。2023年ICLDC是这场关键而及时的对话的场所，为实践者提供了一个关键的机会来建立关系和发展必要的社会基础设施，以努力实现正义驱动的语言工作模式。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
