LSA 2008 Poster: Dying to be Counted

At the 2008 annual meeting of the Linguistic Society of America in Chicago, Lise Dobrin (University of Virginia), Peter K Austin (ELAP, SOAS) and David Nathan (ELAR, SOAS) presented a poster entitled "Dying to be counted: commodification of endangered languages in documentary linguistics." The poster recalled the content of the same authors' paper at the Conference on Language Documentation and Linguistic Theory, but took a satirical approach by presenting a mock newspaper front page.
