SIL scholars address Linguistic Society of America
At two conferences, SIL linguistics consultants will chair a symposium, present two papers, exhibit SIL publications and demonstrate linguistics software.
Research registers more languages
Linguistic research and surveys discover previously unregistered languages. Sometimes surveys of a speech community determine that the varieties spoken there should be considered two or more languages. Occasionally data suggesting the existence of a distinct language has been overlooked. Data reported to SIL during the past four years reveal 163 previously unrecognized languages.
