2011 Athabaskan Languages Conference
The 2011 Athabaskan Languages Conference (ALC) will be held in
Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada, 27 June to 29 June, 2011. The title of this year's conference is: Ä?âshe Ch'û Ghàkwats'ìnje (Southern Tutchone), E?ekò??de (Tagish), Woosh Een Áyá Yoo H?atudli.átk (Tlingit), We Are Talking Together (English). This year's conference themes are intergenerational learning, narrative
uses of language, and exchange between language groups. Presentations on any topic related to Athabaskan languages are welcome, but the conference organizers especially encourage topics relating to the conference themes.
The Athabaskan Languages Conference (also known as the Dene Languages
Conference) brings together linguists, speakers, educators and policy makers from across the Athabaskan region. Over the past few decades this conference has become the principal forum in which members and researchers of geographically distant but culturally and intellectually related Athabaskan communities can compare knowledge
and learn from each other.
The host of this year's ALC is the Language Revitalization Programme -
Yukon First Nation Self Government Secretariat - Council for Yukon First Nations.
Abstracts can be submitted from 1 February to 31 March, 2011, and reviewing
will be completed by 30 April, 2011. We are using the EasyAbs online abstract management service from the LINGUIST List. The website for abstract submission is:

Abstracts can be plain text (.txt), PDF (.pdf), OpenOffice documents (.odt), or Microsoft Word documents (.doc). PDF submissions are preferred, particularly if you are using phonetic symbols.
