Note: this is the integral message, not a synthesis

 The scholarly e-journal, _Language Learning and Technology_, has issued a call for papers for a special issue on "Technology and Indigenous Languages." According to the announcement, "The focus of this special issue... is on the means, potential value, and dangers, of providing and using communications and information technology for languages that are mostly local in use." One might equally well ask about the value & dangers of *not* providing & using ICT for indigenous languages. Deadline 31 August 2000.

The entire CFP is at: http://llt.msu.edu/vol4num1/callforpapers.html

This is a new area of action and inquiry and it will be very interesting indeed to see this issue of LLT when it is weblished.
