The Documenting Endangered Languages program supports innovation and excellence in language documentation methodology with a view to better understand the linguistic and cognitive abilities of humans and the linguistic characteristics of individual languages. To this end, the Documenting Endangered Languages program will support the Master Classes and Special Sessions at the International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation. This conference brings together leading world experts in language documentation to share, critique, and perfect methods in documenting endangered languages. The conference has quickly become the leading venue for ideas exchange and initiative creation for the language documentation field.A series of twelve Master Classes on eliciting and documenting various topics in grammar will be held each day of the conference. The topics will range from general treatments of first and second language acquisition in the context of endangered languages to advanced typological goals such as the elicitation and documentation of verb alignment/argument structure; tense and aspect; deixis; tone and intonation; valence changing constructions/processes; definiteness and quantification; evidentiality; and topic and focus Constructions. Each two-hour class will be taught by a leading expert in that area. The greater societal impact of the conference will come in the exploration of links between language documentation (practice), deep understanding of grammatical structure (theory), and methods for teaching endangered languages (application). Through Master Classes and Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation, the conference will foster discipline-wide discussion on the relationship between linguistic structure and language pedagogy, based on the premise that language revitalization is the key to keeping data alive and available for scientific study.

记录濒危语言计划支持语言记录方法的创新和卓越，以更好地理解人类的语言和认知能力以及各种语言的语言特征。 为此，记录濒危语言计划将支持国际语言文献与保护会议的大师班和特别会议。 这次会议汇集了世界领先的语言文献记录专家，分享、批评和完善记录濒危语言的方法。 该会议已迅速成为语言文献领域思想交流和倡议创建的主要场所。会议每天将举办一系列关于引出和记录语法中各种主题的十二个大师班。 主题范围从濒危语言背景下第一语言和第二语言习得的一般处理到高级类型学目标，例如动词对齐/论证结构的引出和记录；时态和体；指示语；语气和语调；价态变化的结构/过程；确定性和量化；证据性；以及主题和焦点结构。 每节两小时的课程将由该领域的领先专家授课。 会议更大的社会影响将来自对语言文献（实践）、对语法结构（理论）的深入理解和濒危语言教学方法（应用）之间联系的探索。 通过语言保护教育学大师班和特别会议，会议将基于语言复兴是保持数据活力和可用于科学研究的关键这一前提，促进关于语言结构和语言教育学之间关系的全学科讨论。
