CoLang 2020 Announced!

CoLang 2020 logo

The Institute on Collaborative Language Research (CoLang) is please to announce that its next institute will be held at the University of Montana from June 15th – July 17th, 2020, and will be co-hosted by the Universty of Montana (UM) and Chief Dull Knife College (CDKC), a two-year tribal college of the Northern Cheyenne in Montana. The institute is designed to provide an opportunity for community language activists and linguists to receive training in community-based language documentation and revitalization.

CoLang 2020 will consist of two parts:

  • The first two weeks are devoted to focused workshops and organized discussions, providing hands-on training in the latest linguistic technology, interdisciplinary methods, and best practices in ethical community collaborations. Workshops are facilitated by established experts.
  • The following three weeks are dedicated to practica, where students will work directly with speakers of selected endangered languages to learn documentation methods and applications first-hand, integrating the skills acquired during the preceding workshops. CoLang 2020 will have multilateral themes including Language Reclamation, Indigenous Perspectives, Technology, and Interdisciplinarity.

Visit the CoLang 2020 website for more details.

SSILA Newsletter & Bulletin Archives

SSILA is thrilled to announce the launch of the SSILA Newsletter and Bulletin archives on the SSILA website! SSILA issued its quarterly newsletter from 1981–2012, and the electronic bulletin from 1993–2012. Both were edited primarily by Victor Golla. The archives contain copies of nearly every one of the newsletters and bulletins, serving as a rich and valuable insight into SSILA's history. We hope you enjoy perusing the archive!

Note: The Newsletter and Bulletin archives are available to SSILA members only. If you are already a member, simply log into the website here. If you would like to purchase a SSILA membership, you can do so on the memberships page.

Beginning with the founding of the organization in 1981, SSILA issued a quarterly newsletter under the Editorship of Victor Golla (initially Ken Whistler, and later also Karen Sue Rolph), first in physical form, and later in digital format. In its first year in particular, the newsletter was intended to "serve as an important forum for discussion of the goals of the Society". It then evolved into a forum for announcements of interest to members, and discussion of issues in the field.

In 1993, with the advent of the internet, email, and listservs, the Society also began issuing an electronic bulletin, which was sent to all SSILA members at approximately monthly intervals, and edited by Victor Golla. It carried announcements of upcoming meetings, job announcements, and other late-breaking news.

The Society launched a new website with the ability to make blog posts in 2012, around which time both the newsletter and bulletin were discontinued. However, these communiques provide a valuable insight into SSILA's history, and contain much useful information. As such, in 2017 the SSILA Executive Committee undertook an initiative to create an archive of the newsletters and bulletins. Carolyn MacKay (former Executive Secretary) headed the effort, while Randa Marhenke and Willem de Reuse were instrumental in providing copies of the majority of the bulletins from their archives. Frank Treschel and Marianne Mithun also provided numerous issues of the newsletters. The documents were then organized into an online digital archive by Daniel W. Hieber (the SSILA Webmaster).

The archives are accessible to SSILA members only, so you will need to log into the SSILA.org website in order to view them. If you would like to sign up for a SSILA membership, you can do so here.

SSILA Archiving Award

The Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA) is very pleased to announce a new award, the SSILA Archiving Award.

This award highlights the importance of creating long-term archival materials that are accessible to all communities concerned, including heritage and language communities as well as scholarly communities. It is meant to encourage others in academia to value such work as more comparable to analytic research.

The award is presented to one or more researchers (from any community) who have created an accessible documentary collection of materials relating to an indigenous language of the Americas. Taking each collection's context and ethical protocols into account, each collection so honored will be assessed on the following characteristics:

  • It should be linguistically and/or ethnographically rich.
  • It should be diverse in content, including some annotated or transcribed material.
  • It should be housed in a long-term preservation archive.
  • Its content should be accessible to heritage and language communities as well as scholarly communities.
  • It should be well described through collection-level metadata, item-level metadata, and a finding aid or descriptive overview which includes how the language community's priorities have been met.
  • Its content should be potentially impactful for language learners, language maintenance, language teaching, and scholarly research.

This award may be shared by multiple creators of a single collection (including, for example, academic and non-academic researchers, primary language consultants, and collection curators).

Nominations may be made by anyone and should include:

  • a letter of nomination identifying the nominee(s) (with curriculum vitae as appropriate), describing the background of their work on the language in question, and the archival collection (with links to online content and metadata, and a finding aid or descriptive overview), and explaining its significance
  • one supporting letter also explaining the significance of the archival collection

Self-nominations are permitted.

If you have questions about the award, please direct them to Andrew Garrett (garrett@berkeley.edu), Chair of the Archiving Award Committee. Nominations should be submitted to Andrew Garrett (garrett@berkeley.edu) by September 15.

Cherokee narratives: A linguistic study (Feeling, Pulte & Pulte)

Book cover for Cherokee narratives: A linguistic study (Feeling, Pulte & Pulte)
Cherokee narratives: A linguistic study (Feeling, Pulte & Pulte)

The stories of the Cherokee people presented here capture in written form tales of history, myth, and legend for readers, speakers, and scholars of the Cherokee language. Assembled by noted authorities on Cherokee, this volume marks an unparalleled contribution to the linguistic analysis, understanding, and preservation of Cherokee language and culture.

Cherokee Narratives spans the spectrum of genres, including humor, religion, origin myths, trickster tales, historical accounts, and stories about the Eastern Cherokee language. These stories capture the voices of tribal elders and form a living record of the Cherokee Nation and Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians' oral tradition. Each narrative appears in four different formats: the first is interlinear, with each line shown in the Cherokee syllabary, a corresponding roman orthography, and a free English translation; the second format consists of a morpheme-by-morpheme analysis of each word; and the third and fourth formats present the entire narrative in the Cherokee syllabary and in a free English translation.

The narratives and their linguistic analysis are a rich source of information for those who wish to deepen their knowledge of the Cherokee syllabary, as well as for students of Cherokee history and culture. By enabling readers at all skill levels to use and reconstruct the Cherokee language, this collection of tales will sustain the life and promote the survival of Cherokee for generations to come.

Mobilian Trade Language phrasebook and lexicon (Kaufman)

The Mobilian Trade Language (aka Mobilian Jargon) is a Native American pidgin, primarily based on Muskogean languages, that was spoken in the North American Southeast until the 1950s. For centuries, Mobilian Trade Language served as a lingua franca for various indigenous groups (and later Europeans and Africans) that came together for trade and ritual. As a pidgin, the language is grammatically streamlined and easy to learn. This book is a phrasebook with bidirectional lexicon that can help reawaken this now dormant language by providing a handy lexical reference and common phrases.
