Dear all,
apologies for cross-postings - but maybe someone of you is interested :-)
We're very happy to announce that we will be able to carry out a work-shop on LL in minority settings - with contributions reflecting experiences and thoughts about future potentials of the LL method for minority language analysis and language maintenance policies. It will be part of the International Conference on Minority Language XII (ICML-XII) in Tartu (Estonia) on May 27-30 2009.

Hope to see many of you in the rural Baltic States in beautiful May :-) !!!
