LFG23: Final Call for Papers
by Agnieszka Patejuk 17 Jan '23

17 Jan '23

Final Call for Papers [Apologies for cross-posting] LFG23: The 28th International Lexical-Functional Grammar Conference 21 July - 25 July 2023 University of Rochester Conference website: https://sas.rochester.edu/cls/lfg23/ Conference e-mail (NOT for abstract submission): lfg23 'at' rochester.edu Abstract submission deadline: 15 February 2023, 23:59 UTC-12 (midnight anywhere on Earth) Abstract submission link: https://openreview.net/group?id=LFG/2023/Conference Please note that we are using a new submission system. You will have to register beforehand. Invited speakers: TBA Workshop: A workshop on "Revisiting Lexical Integrity" is planned for 25 July. More information on the topic and abstract submission can be found at https://sas.rochester.edu/cls/lfg23/workshop/ Conference mode: We are currently planning a physical conference and hope that speakers will be able to attend in person. A synchronous, online participation option will be available. LFG23 welcomes work within the formal architecture of Lexical-Functional Grammar as well as typological, formal, and computational work within the 'spirit of LFG' as a lexicalist approach to language employing a parallel, constraint-based framework. The conference aims to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers interested in non-derivational approaches to grammar, where grammar is seen as the interaction of (perhaps violable) constraints from multiple levels of structuring, including those of syntactic categories, grammatical relations, semantics and discourse. LFG23 is sponsored by the Center for Language Sciences at the University of Rochester (http://www.sas.rochester.edu/cls/) SUBMISSIONS: TALKS AND POSTERS The main conference sessions will involve 45-minute talks (30 min + 15 min discussion), and poster presentations. Contributions can focus on results from completed as well as ongoing research, with an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational. Presentations should describe original, unpublished work. DISSERTATION SESSION As in previous years, we are hoping to hold a special session that will give students the chance to present recent PhD dissertations (or other student research dissertations). The dissertations must be completed by the time of the conference, and they should be made publicly accessible (e.g., on the World Wide Web). The talks in this session should provide an overview of the main original points of the dissertation; the talks will be 20 minutes, followed by a 10-minute discussion period. Students should note that the main sessions are certainly also open to student submissions. Students who present papers in either session will receive a small subvention towards their conference costs from the International LFG Association (ILFGA). TIMETABLE Deadline for abstracts: 15 February 2023, 23:59 UTC-12 (midnight anywhere on Earth) Notification of acceptance: 31 March 2023 Conference: 21 July - 25 July 2023 SUBMISSION SPECIFICATIONS The language of the conference is English, and all abstracts must be written in English. All abstracts should be submitted using the online submission system. Submissions should be in the form of abstracts only. Abstracts can be up to three A4 pages, including figures and references. Abstracts should be in 10pt or larger type, with margins of at least 2cm on all four sides, and should include a title. Omit name and affiliation (including in PDF document properties), and avoid obvious self-reference. For dissertation session submissions, please add "Dissertation" to the title of your abstract. Please submit your abstract in .pdf format (or a plain text file). The number of submissions is not restricted. However, in the interests of high participation and broad representation, each author should be involved in a maximum of two oral papers and can only be a single author of one. There are no restrictions on poster presentations. Authors may want to keep this in mind when stating their preferences concerning the mode of presentation of their submissions. All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least three referees. Papers accepted to the conference can be submitted to the refereed proceedings, and will be published, subject to acceptance, online by University of Konstanz/CSLI Publications. (Please note that papers submitted to the proceedings are no longer automatically accepted for publication in the proceedings.) See http://web.stanford.edu/group/cslipublications/cslipublications/LFG/ for recent proceedings. PRE-CONFERENCE ACTIVITIES There will be a day of pre-conference activities on 21 July. The ParGram Project Meeting will be held in the morning and there will be a social activity in the afternoon. ORGANISERS AND THEIR CONTACT ADDRESSES If you have queries about abstract submission or have problems submitting your paper, please contact the Program Committee.

Last CfP and Deadline Extension: International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-10) in Mannheim
by Beata Trawinski 13 Jan '23

13 Jan '23

Dear Colleagues, I would like to again draw your attention to the Call for Papers for the 10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-10), which will take place in Mannheim, Germany, from 18 to 21 July 2023. At the same time, I would like to inform you that the deadline for abstract submission has been extended to *January 31, 2023*. All details about the conference and the submission procedure can be found below or at the conference website: https://iclc10.ids-mannheim.de Contributions on cross-linguistic issues from all theoretical frameworks are welcome! Best regards, Beata Trawinski (IDS Mannheim) ***************************************************************** *10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-10)* **************************************************************** Date: 18-Jul-2023 - 21-Jul-2023 Location: Mannheim, Germany Contact Person: Beata Trawinski Meeting Email: iclc10(a)easychair.org Conference Web Site: https://iclc10.ids-mannheim.de Extended Deadline for abstract submission: 31.01.2023 ************************************************ *Final Call for Papers & Deadline Extension* ************************************************ The Leibniz Institute for the German Language in Mannheim is pleased to announce the 10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-10). The conference will take place in Mannheim, Germany, from 18 to 21 July 2023. The aim of the ICLC conference series, running since 1998, is to encourage fine-grained cross-linguistic research comprising two or more languages from a broad range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. ICLC brings together researchers from different linguistic subfields (and neighboring disciplines) to continue the (interdisciplinary) dialog on comparing languages, to foster the development of an international community, to discuss the state of the art, and to advance possible new areas of cross-linguistic research. Contrastive Linguistics as a linguistic subfield has had a checkered history, but comparative and contrastive work has always been and continues to be an important part of linguistic research. New impulses for comparative and contrastive work include the increasing availability of multilingual corpora or comparative work drawing on naturalistic interaction data. At this anniversary edition of ICLC, we want to provide a stage for the presentation of such new work, and reflect the past, current and future developments of contrastive research in linguistics. We invite contributions addressing (meta)theoretical, methodological or empirical issues, such as (but not limited to) the following: • Comparison of phenomena in two or more languages addressing topics from any area and level of linguistic analysis, including lexicon, phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics as well as matters such as register and socio-cultural context • The state of the art and recent advances in contrastive linguistic research • The aims, objectives and scope of contrastive linguistic research • The status of contrastive research within linguistic studies and its relationship with neighbouring or complementary approaches such as historical, typological, micro-variationist, intercultural and contact linguistics • The link between contrastive studies and fields of applied linguistics such as foreign language teaching and learning, translation studies and corpus linguistics • Potentials and limits of theoretical frameworks in relation to contrastive analysis (e.g., functional, cognitive, interactional, generative, constructional approaches) • Theoretical and theoretical-methodological issues (comparability, incommensurability, the socio-cultural context, tertia comparationis, language universals) • Empirical and data-related methodological issues (parallel / translation corpora, comparable corpora, learner corpora, multimodal corpora, naturalistic data of face-to-face interaction, psycho- and neurolinguistic experiments, surveys) • The significance of the contrastive perspective for language-specific description on the one hand and for cross-linguistic generalizations and the development of linguistic theory on the other hand Some of these issues will be addressed by five invited keynote speakers. Confirmed keynote speakers are: • Artemis Alexiadou (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Leibniz-Centre for General Linguistics, Germany) • Jenny Audring (Leiden University, The Netherlands) • Elwys De Stefani (University of Heidelberg, Germany, and KU Leuven, Belgium) • Martin Haspelmath (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Germany) • Hilde Hasselgård (University of Oslo, Norway) The conference will include a poster session. The conference language will be English. Following the conference, all participants will be offered the possibility to submit their contribution for publication in a volume of selected conference papers. ************************************************ *Submission of Abstracts* ************************************************ We invite submissions for 20-minute oral presentations (plus 10 minutes for discussion) or poster presentations. Abstracts should formulate a clear research question and include a description of the methods, results and conclusions. All submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. One person may submit only one (oral or poster) paper as the first author. The number of co-authored submissions is not limited. However, presenting more than one paper (oral or poster) at the conference by a single person should be avoided.
