Revitalization and documentation from a perspective of first and second language acquisition

Mizuki Miyashita

Tracy Hirata-Edds

Our workshop introduces how language is learned and places these concepts in the contexts of language documentation and revitalization. Such learning occurs in various patterns, and is used in many different domains. We explore questions related to what type of documentation effectively serves learners. The overall topic is interdisciplinary, including areas such as first and second language learning and acquisition, linguistics, language description, language planning, programming, and pedagogy. We welcome anyone interested in learning about and sharing knowledge of how language acquisition interacts with documentation and revitalization.
