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

该项目支持一种创新形式的阿萨巴斯卡语言会议，这是一个年度会议，汇集了研究人员，教师和阿萨巴斯卡语社区的成员，相互激励，以不断改进语言研究，阿萨巴斯卡语言教学法，以及少数民族和濒危语言保留方法。阿萨巴斯卡语系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。2001年阿萨巴斯卡语言会议将于2001年5月18日至20日在加州大学洛杉矶分校语言学系举行。在阿萨巴斯卡人调查的所有领域都征求论文。有组织的会议将集中在语言和教育学，语言和理论，新数据和社区学院的关系。计划于2001年5月20日（星期日）举办一个关于语音质量仪器分析的特别讲习班。研究人员和教师将从声学和发音语音学专家那里学习如何测量他们的数据中的微妙影响，这些影响以前可能没有描述过。将于明年1月正式征集论文，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.
