Veuillez noter que certains hôtels ont un nombre limité de chambres réservées, qui peuvent être réservées selon le principe du premier arrivé, premier servi. Les membres du corps professoral des universités canadiennes peuvent également adhérer à l’ACPAU, qui offre divers tarifs hôteliers réduits à ses membres.

Accommodations

We have made arrangements with local hotels to provide accommodations at preferential rates for those attending CLA 2025. Note that some hotels have a limited number of reserved rooms, which can be booked on a first come, first served basis. Faculty members at Canadian institutions can also join CAUBO, who offer a variety of discounted hotel rates to their members.

Session thématique : Les défis de transcription des langues autochtones

Des initiatives en cours à travers le Canada mettent en lumière des défis importants concernant les meilleures pratiques pour la transcription des langues autochtones qui donnent la priorité aux voix et aux expériences autochtones. Cette session thématique présentera des communications sélectionnées parmi celles qui ont été soumises dans le cadre de l'appel à manifestation d'intérêt de la session.

Parmi les sujets abordés, citons les méthodologies et épistémologies hybrides reliant les perspectives communautaires et académiques sur la documentation linguistique (abordant des questions telles que quels aspects d'une langue devraient être enregistrés et transcrits, à quel point les transcriptions devraient être détaillées et pourquoi) ; la transcription comme outil de préservation de la variation dans le contexte de la revitalisation linguistique ; la transcription comme outil de normalisation dans le contexte de la revitalisation linguistique ; des approches flexibles, dynamiques et différenciées pour transcrire différents genres (conversations, histoires) et registres (formel, informel) ; et la transcription comme pratique de récupération et d'apprentissage de la langue.

Special session: Transcription challenges for Indigenous languages

Ongoing initiatives across Canada are bringing to light important challenges regarding best practices for the transcription of Indigenous languages that prioritize Indigenous voices and experiences. This special session will feature papers selected from submissions to the session’s CfP.

Topics to be discussed include hybrid methodologies and epistemologies bridging community and academic perspectives on language documentation (addressing questions like what aspects of a language should be recorded and transcribed, how detailed should transcriptions be and why); transcription as a tool for preserving variation in the context of language revitalization; transcription as a standardization tool in the context of language revitalization; flexible, dynamic, and differentiated approaches to transcribing different genres (conversations, stories) and registers (formal, casual); and transcription as a language reclamation and language learning practice.

Panel : Des outils d'IA pour les langues sous-dotées

Un nombre croissant de linguistes et de membres des communautés autochtones au Canada travaillent à la documentation et à la revitalisation des langues. Bien que les progrès récents de l'IA aient mis à disposition de nouveaux outils susceptibles de contribuer à ces efforts, les personnes chercheuses et praticiennes ignorent souvent l'existence de ces outils ou estiment qu'ils ne sont pas à leur portée en raison de leur manque de connaissances en informatique. Ce panel présentera au public des projets d'outils d'IA et d'apprentissage automatique en cours de développement ou d'utilisation active qui répondent à des défis spécifiques en matière de documentation et de revitalisation des langues. Le panel visera à présenter comment les outils d'IA peuvent être développés dans le respect des valeurs et des priorités des communautés autochtones.

Panel on AI tools for under-resourced languages

A growing number of linguists and Indigenous community members in Canada are working on language documentation and revitalization. Although recent advances in AI have made new tools available which could help with these efforts, researchers and practitioners are often unaware of these tools or feel that they are not within reach given their lack of computational background. This panel will introduce the audience to projects in AI and machine learning tools in development or in active use that address specific challenges in language documentation and revitalization. The panel will be aimed at presenting how AI tools can be developed in ways that are respectful of the values and priorities of Indigenous communities.
