Language Revitalization and Documentation The Newest Section of the LSA's Flagship Journal
Learn about the launch of Language Revitalization and Documentation, a new section of the LSA's flagship journal, Language. The new section will build upon the existing base of knowledge to serve as a new venue for peer-reviewed research articles in language revitalization and documentation. The significance of this vein of research in Language is exemplified by the collection of articles published by Ken Hale and colleagues in this journal in 1992 (Hale et al. 1992), outlining arguments for the importance of linguistic training and assessing language vitality and diversity, all with more relevance than ever nearly three decades later. The inauguration of the section reinforces the commitment of our disciplinary organization to language revitalization and documentation while also ensuring a diversity of voices and scholarship, including those from Indigenous scholars, will advance the language sciences. Join the Editor of Language, Andries Coetzee, and the founding Associate Editor of Language Revitalization and Documentation, Colleen Fitzgerald for a presentation and moderated information session as the LSA's introduces this new section.
The webinar is open to scholars of all levels and backgrounds to learn more about the new section and gain insight into the kinds of papers that are likely to fit into the section. Participants may also find this information in a paper by Fitzgerald* that appears in the March 2021 issue of Language, "A Framework for Language Revitalization and Documentation." The paper has been made open access to encourage wide readership to guide prospective authors as they develop manuscripts for submission.
