Tagungen und Workshops zum Thema Sprachwissenschaft

Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Catalonia

PaPE 2021 will be the latest installment of the PaPE conference series, aimed at exploring different disciplinary approaches to all areas of phonetics and phonology, including interdisciplinary research which investigate the sound properties of language from multiple perspectives: neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics and speech technologies.

The eighth installment of the TripleA workshop for semantic fieldworkers will be held fully online, in the week of June 21–27, 2021 (precise dates and schedule TBD), organized by the National University of Singapore. The TripleA workshop series provides a forum and community for the study of the semantics of understudied languages of Africa, Asia, Australia, and Oceania.

The theme of IGALA11 2021 is Language and the Geopolitics of Gender. With this theme, we aim to highlight the geopolitical dimensions of language, gender and sexuality scholarship. Our goal is to showcase research on configurations of language, gender and sexuality from a diverse range of cultural, linguistic and geographical contexts, and in particular work that engages with issues of coloniality, globalisation, migration, (trans)nationalism and/or modernity. We also aim to encourage discussions of methodological and epistemological diversity, and of the broader dynamics of knowledge creation and dissemination in our field.

In 2021 the 14th meeting of the international Symposium on (Im)Politeness and the 7th meeting of the biannual iMean(interaction and meaning)conference will be merged for a meeting on the ''pragmatics of translation'' on 24-26 June, 2021.

Discourse Analysis; Pragmatics; Sociolinguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics; Translation

This workshop is dedicated to the work of Bob Ladd, one of the pioneers of Laboratory Phonology and the first president of the Association of Laboratory Phonology. The theme of the workshop reflects Bob's interest in the form and nature of phonological representations and their relation ''to the physical manifestations of speech and the cognitive processes that underlie them'' (in his words). His research on this broad theme has dealt with a number of topics; though perhaps the best known has been his contribution to intonational phonology and the relation between abstract phonological representations of tone and their phonetic manifestation, his research has also addressed the more general issue of the role of phonetic evidence in phonology, the problematic nature of systematic phonetics, the treatment of gradience, and duality of patterning. Contributions to this workshop, from researchers who have collaborated with Bob during his career and/or been strongly influenced by his research, will focus on these themes.

Linguistic Theories; Phonetics; Phonology

This workshop is a satellite event to Phonetics and Phonology in Europe (PaPE) 2021 and provides a platform for the growing community of researchers studying prosody in contact to share findings, discuss methodological issues, and debate the theoretical implications of their work. There will be oral presentations, covering both synchronic and diachronic aspects of prosody in contact, anchored around keynote papers from invited speakers and framework discussion. Abstracts for papers are invited on all aspects of prosody in contact languages, including pitch-related, temporal and spectral phenomena, and on all language varieties, including those spoken by diaspora communities.

Phonetics; Phonology; Sociolinguistics

COM2021 will be followed by the Symposium of the European Civil Society Platform for Multilingualism (ECSPM) on the 28-29 June 2021 that will also take place online.

The third International Colloquium on Ancient Greek Linguistics (ICAGL 3) will be held in Madrid in June of 2021. The original series started in Amsterdam 1986 and in 2015 merged with the Italian series of colloquia on Greek linguistics to start the new regular series of colloquia held every three years. The first joint colloquium took place in Rome, Università Tor Vergata. The second one was organized by the University of Helsinki, Finland, in 2018. The next one will be hosted by Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain, in 2021. This series of colloquia tries to provide an international forum of high level scientific standard to present ongoing research or results already reached by scholars in the field of Ancient Greek linguistics.

The 33rd meeting of the North American Conference on Chinese Linguistics (NACCL-33) 第33屆北美漢語語言學會議 will be held virtually on June 24-25, 2021. NACCL-33 invites abstracts in all subfields of Chinese linguistics, including but not limited to, phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, dialectology, historical linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and corpus linguistics.

Phonetics; Phonology; Semantics; Sociolinguistics; Syntax; Sino-Tibetan

Our timely inter-disciplinary two-day conference is the first of its kind to examine mutual intelligibility from cultural and cognitive as well as linguistic perspectives. By bringing together researchers from a range of fields, this workshop aims to provide a foundation for the development of multi-disciplinary research projects on mutual intelligibility. The goal is to gain a broader understanding of this significant and complex global phenomenon, and identify how various theoretical and empirical research methods can be combined in future research.

Cognitive Science; General Linguistics; Ling & Literature; Sociolinguistics; Translation

In 2021 the 13th meeting of the international Symposium on (Im)Politeness and the 7th meeting of the biannual iMean (interaction and meaning) conference will be merged for a meeting on the “pragmatics of translation” on 24-26 June, 2021. We will invite papers on translation outcomes and processes which highlight a pragmatic angle of understanding the transfer of language phenomena across cultures and intra-culturally. We approach translation from a broad perspective, including written textual translation from source to target language as well as other modalities such as signing, simultaneous translation or audiovisual translation by professional and lay people. We also include topics such as explaining meaning to each other or translating sensual experience into language.

It is our pleasure to announce the 5th International Conference “Approaches to Phonology and Phonetics” (APAP) to be he held in Lublin (June 25-27, 2021). APAP is a biennial event organized by two Polish universities: Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (UMCS) and John Paul II Catholic University (KUL) which intends to provide a forum for sharing theoretical, empirical and pedagogical findings on all aspects of phonetics and phonology, with particular attention paid to how the two domains of research relate to each other.

International Pragmatics Association (IPrA)

The conference, organized by the International Pragmatics Association (IPrA), is open to all topics relevant to linguistic pragmatics, conceived broadly as the interdisciplinary (cognitive, social, cultural) science of language use.

The expression of motion events is a multifaceted phenomenon that lies at the confluence of morphology, lexical semantics, syntax, discourse and pragmatics. Recent research has probed into its composite nature, revealing how it is underpinned by language-specific constellations of interacting factors (Beavers, Levin et al. 2010). The aim of this conference is to further explore these factors, with particular emphasis on the role of the verb and crosslinguistic comparison, while encouraging different approaches (Levin 1993, Aurnague 2011, Stosic 2019) to share their views on the matter.

The focus of LxGr is the interaction of lexis and grammar. The focus is informed by Halliday’s view of lexis and grammar as “complementary perspectives” (1991: 32), and his conception of the two as notional ends of a continuum (lexicogrammar), in that “if you interrogate the system grammatically you will get grammar-like answers and if you interrogate it lexically you get lexis-like answers” (1992: 64).

The topic of eLex 2021 is going to be “post-editing lexicography”. Digital lexicography has progressed over the past 30 years up to the point where large parts of entries in a new dictionary (such as headword lists, inflections, translations or example sentences) may be drafted automatically from a sufficiently large and sufficiently annotated text corpus. This technological progress leads to new methodological approaches where most editorial work consists of post-editing of automatically created content – similarly to post-editing of machine translated texts.

The term crosslinguistic influence, introduced by Michael Sharwood-Smith (1983), was suggested as an alternative to transfer, given the behaviorist connotations of the latter. Subsequently, generativist and cognitivist approaches rejected contrastive analysis and the idea of the influence of the L1 on an L2, and research focussed henceforth more on difficulties intrinsic to the L2, as well as L2 learners’ internal cognitive processes.

The meeting is organised by the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures of the Masaryk University of Brno and the Departments of Humanities and Culture and Society of the University of Palermo.

The aim of the meeting is to promote discussion and exchange among researchers who, from any theoretical perspective, are interested in the different forms and functions within modality and/or in contiguous domains such as directivity or evidentiality.

ICLaVE|11 takes place at the University of Vienna, Austria, with kind support from the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

The International Conference on Language Variation in Europe, ICLaVE, is one of the most important fora for research in the area of language variation in Europe. It aims at bringing together scholars of languages and language varieties spoken in Europe with the purpose of discussing empirical, methodological and theoretical issues in the study of language variation and change on the continent.

The First International Conference on Sicilian Dialectology, a major event of the Festival of Sicilian Dialects 2021, has been conceived as a moment of knowledge sharing and discussion among scholars interested in the different domains of the study of the Italo-Romance varieties spoken in Sicily.

The conference theme, “Bilingualism in Flux”, presents bilingualism as a dynamic and multifaceted phenomenon existing on a continuum. The in flux part of the theme is a twofold concept. First, it is understood as relating to non-linguistic circumstances that foster not only diverse, but also transient bilingual communities throughout the world. Nowadays, new waves of migration influence the linguistic status quo and enrich existing environments. Second, it pertains to the very processes taking place in language, a dynamic entity prone to changes. The fluctuating circumstances entail linguistic consequences reflected in the development of the second and further languages, cross-linguistic influence, language attrition, incomplete acquisition, and maintenance of heritage languages. Finally, the conference leitmotif highlights not only the local changes presently taking place in Poland, but also the country’s linguistic heritage.

Israel Association for Theoretical Linguistics (IATL)

Following the IW-FDG tradition, this workshop will be devoted to the discussion of a specific aspect of the model – the topic this time being modification – with the purpose of (i) developing and improving the theory of FDG (Hengeveld & Mackenzie 2008) and (ii) publishing a collection of the papers discussed during the workshop. Previous workshops have all resulted in the publication of a special issue or collected volume in a respected journal or book series.

Ideologies regarding the social value of languages and discourses are contested, especially in times of political polarisation. Whether it be political rhetoric valorising certain languages over others in social media messages of populist leaders, activism promoting the revitalisation of minoritised languages or the hegemony of colonial languages in academic publishing, we can observe how language ideologies are constructed, and how they permeate every public domain. With this conference, we aim to explore the intersections between language ideology and political discourse, understanding both notions in their broadest terms, and to find tactical solutions to prevent a language ideological meltdown of political discourse; i.e. a politicisation of essential understandings of language as belonging to specific people and not to others. The conference thus aims to open up a critical space in which we can explore ideological discourses that make the indexical links between language and politics meaningful, aiming, ultimately, to reposition ourselves and our research within the very same political discourse that we investigate.

LFG21 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.

WSC6 is organized by the Department of Linguistics, and the Southeast Asian Linguistics Research Unit, Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University.

Despite the tremendous advance in the field in the past few decades, our theoretical understanding of sound change has been largely limited to segmental phenomena. The 6th Workshop on Sound Change (WSC6) will be held at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok during July 14-16, 2021 around the theme of ''Naturalness of Tonal and Prosodic change.'' In addition to oral and poster presentations, WCS6 will feature a series of half and full-day satellite workshops on July 13, 2021.

The 11th International Corpus Linguistics Conference (CL2021) will take place in the week of 13–17 July 2021, hosted online by the University of Limerick. Corpus Linguistics is a biennial conference which has been running since 2001 and has previously been hosted by Lancaster University, the University of Liverpool, the University of Birmingham and Cardiff University.

The present colloquium is the first of the planned annual colloquium on Chinese language and dialects that is jointly organized by SOAS University of London and Humboldt University of Berlin, with the aim to promote studies on Chinese language and dialects in Europe and world-wide.

Centre for Translation Studies (CenTraS), UCL / China Association for Translation, Interpreting and Cognition (CATIC)

To understand the entirety and complexity of translation and interpreting as social interaction, it is important to explore the interplay between translators’ and interpreters’ affect, behaviour and cognition, be it from the theoretical, empirical, or methodological perspective.

The Federation Internationale des Langues et Litteratures Modernes (FILLM), a UNESCO affiliate in charge of promoting languages, literatures, and cultures organizes an International Congress every three years. The next FILLM Congress, the 28th in the series, will be held in Europe at the University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria from 18 July to 21 July, 2021 under the theme of Linguistic, Literary, and Cultural Diversity in a Global Perspective.

Traditionally, editions of the CILH pay tribute to renowned researchers in the field whose work contributes to the building and innovation in concepts and methods related to Historical Linguistics. The V CILH: Diachronic constellations continues this tradition and, in this edition, honors professors Charlotte Galves and Mary Kato, who were the founders and diffusers in the area of ​​Historical Linguistics in Brazil. Galves and Kato worked on formal ​​diachronic syntax: the first with strong interaction with the areas of corpus linguistics and on the interface between syntax and prosody; and the second in interface with sociolinguistics and studies on language acquisition. “Navigation” and “travel” are metaphors present in the work of the honorees, and in line with their legacy, the V CILH: Diachronic constellations aims to navigate in this legacy by offering a space for qualified debate on linguistic phenomena related to linguistic change and the variability of languages; at the same time, it seeks to value the memory of the work of these important researchers for the new generations of researchers from Brazil and beyond. To this end, the event will feature: conferences, short courses, homage sessions, workshop sessions covering different areas of linguistics and philology, as well as general sessions and poster sessions.

The biennial DEON conferences are designed to promote interdisciplinary cooperation amongst scholars interested in linking the formal-logical study of normative concepts, normative language and normative systems with computer science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy, organization theory and law. In addition to the general theme of the DEON conferences, DEON 2020/21 will encourage a special focus on the topic: Norms in Social Perspective.

Over several decades, the Nilo-Saharan Linguistics Colloquium has become established as a valuable forum for the dissemination and discussion of research findings among linguists investigating the languages that belong to the Nilo-Saharan language family.

Modelling and processing MWEs for NLP has been the topic of the MWE workshop organised by the MWE section of SIGLEX in conjunction with major NLP conferences since 2003. Although much progress has been made in the field, MWE processing in end-user NLP tasks is currently under-explored, and most studies still introduce MWEs as future work. Nonetheless, there are recent studies in which MWEs gained particular attention in end-user applications, including machine translation (Zaninello & Birch 2020), text simplification (Kochmar et al. 2020, Liu & Hwa 2016), language learning and assessment (Paquot et al. 2019, Christiansen & Arnon 2017), social media mining (Maisto et al. 2017), and abusive language detection (Zampieri et al. 2020, Caselli et al. 2020).

Human language changes over time, driven by the dual needs of adapting to ongoing sociocultural and technological development in the world and facilitating efficient communication. In particular, novel words are coined or borrowed from other languages, while obsolete words slide into obscurity. Similarly, words may acquire novel meanings or lose existing meanings. This workshop explores these phenomena by bringing to bear state-of-the-art computational methodologies, theories and digital text resources on exploring the time-varying nature of human language.

Today, the unprecedented quantity of easily accessible data on social, political, and economic processes offers ground-breaking potential in guiding data-driven analysis in social and human sciences and in driving informed policy-making processes. The need for precise and high-quality information about a wide variety of events ranging from political violence, environmental catastrophes, and conflict, to international economic and health crises has rapidly escalated (Porta and Diani, 2015; Coleman et al. 2014). Governments, multilateral organizations, local and global NGOs, and social movements present an increasing demand for this data to prevent or resolve conflicts, provide relief for those that are afflicted, or improve the lives of and protect citizens in a variety of ways. For instance, Black Lives Matter protests[1] and conflict in Syria[2] events are only two examples where we must understand, analyze, and improve the real-life situations using such data.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together theoreticians and practitioners from the entire NLP cycle, from annotation and benchmarking to modeling and applications, and to provide an umbrella for the development, discussion and standardization of the study of understanding implicit and underspecified language.

The field of natural language semantics has undergone what some refer to as an ‘experimental turn’ and is arguably currently undergoing a ‘computational turn’. By expanding the toolbox available to the semanticist, these two turns have the effect of expanding the phenomena that can be explained and the varieties of semantic explanation that can be offered.

The Extensive Reading Foundation is pleased to announce the Call for Proposals for Extensive Reading Around the World (ERAW-2021), to be held online from 13-15 August 2021. This event is a stepping stone towards the Sixth Extensive Reading World Congress, (ERWC6) which has been rescheduled for August 2022 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

As the world has become more global in unprecedented ways, the ability to communicate in multiple languages has become a prized characteristic. Multilingualism has, however, been the majority experience for most of human history. The second ever Small-Scale Multilingualism (SSML2) conference aims to recentre the notion of multilingualism as a natural and typical state of human societies and aims to shift multilingualism into the centre of the academic field of linguistics. We want to think more expansively about what constitutes SSML, and focus on the term “small-scale” as a means to “pay attention to detail”, and “take a look at individuals and localised communities”. Multilingualism is simultaneously a description of an environment and individuals who make up the tapestry of many modes of communicating, including spoken and signed languages. It is in this spirit of inclusion and attention to individuals that we seek funding to experiment with innovative forms of conferencing that would expand accessibility to people from multiple locations, and with diverse needs.

The 22nd Biennial Meeting of the International Circle of Korean Linguistics (ICKL22) will be held at National Chengchi University, Taipei, Taiwan on 16-18 August 2021 (arrival and banquet on 16 August 2021; conference presentations on 17-18 August 2021). This will be the fourth international academic fest focusing on Korean since the merger of the Harvard-ISOKL (Harvard International Symposium on Korean Linguistics) into the ICKL (International Circle of Korean Linguistics), and also be the first ICKL conference in Taiwan.

The international conference ICCG11 will take place at the University of Antwerp (UAntwerpen), Belgium, 18-20 August 2020. ICCG11 will cover a broad range of topics related to various constructionist approaches to language, including but not limited to cognitive construction grammar, embodied construction grammar, fluid construction grammar, radical construction grammar, sign based construction grammar, frame semantics. The conference also acts as a forum of discussion between different approaches. The theme of this edition of the conference is the following: how do constructions model language in minds, communities, or computers? Submissions for presentations, posters, or workshops are particularly welcomed along the lines of this theme, but submissions may also be related to other aspects of constructionist linguistics.

Text are important sources of information and communication in diverse domains. The intelligent, efficient and secure use of this information requires, in most cases, the transformation of unstructured textual data into data sets with some structure, and organized according to an appropriate schema that follows the semantics of an application domain. Indeed, solving the problems of modern society requires interdisciplinary research and information cross-referencing, thus surpassing the simple provision of unstructured data. There is a need for representations that are more flexible, subtle and context-sensitive, which can also be easily accessible via consultation tools and evolve according to these principles. In this context, consultation requires robust and efficient processing of requests, which may involve information analysis, with quality, consistency, and privacy preservation guarantees. Knowledge bases can be built as these new generation infrastructures which support data science queries on a user-friendly framework and are capable of providing the required machinery for advised decision-making.

We are pleased to announce the 15th International Conference on the Structure of Hungarian (ICSH15), to be held at the University of Pécs, Hungary, from 25 to 26 August 2021. The main session of ICSH will be followed on 27 August by a special Workshop on the Structure of Uralic Languages (WSUL), hosted at the same venue.

This conference provides a venue for researchers coming from traditionally distinct fields, such as sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitive science, experimental phonetics, syntax and pragmatics, who work on the relationship between linguistic variation, in its widest sense, and language processing. A main theme of this year’s conference will be the processing of linguistic and indexical variation by bi- and multilingual individuals.

We are holding the Japan Association of College English Teachers (JACET) 60th Anniversary Commemoration Week under the theme of “Reflection and Reconnection” from 25 to 29 August in 2021. Following the 48th JACET Summer Seminar (Online, 25-26 August 2021), the JACET 60th Commemorative International Convention (Online, 27-29 August 2021) will take place with the theme of “English Language Education to Endure Changing Times: Facing the Reality of Society 5.0”.

Organized for the first time in Berkeley in 1999, then successively in Edinburgh (2001), Göteborg (2003), Aix-en-Provence (2005), Tokyo (2010), Stockholm (2013), Edinburgh (2015), Stockholm (2017), and Budapest (2019), the Disfluency in Spontaneous Speech (DiSS) workshops gather specialists interested in questions linked with fluency and disfluencies.

The theme of the conference will be Morphological Theory and Typology. Languages display remarkable diversity in how and to what extent they make use of morphology. Because of this, it is crucial to explore the morphological structures of a wide variety of languages, especially those that are understudied. This is necessary to ensuring that the morphological theories that we develop are grounded in the empirical data that we observe. Conversely, linguistic theory and computational modeling inform our understanding of morphological diversity by allowing hypotheses about underlying causes of typological distributions to be tested. While morphological typology and morphological theory have not always been in close dialogue, we view such dialogue as important to the advancement of both fields. The conference theme is designed to highlight work that brings understudied and otherwise diverse languages to bear on morphological theory, and theory to bear on morphological typology. We encourage submissions reflecting different theoretical and methodological approaches, the latter including but not limited to fieldwork, corpus methods, and computational modeling.

The multidisciplinary KLAARA conference is the venue for researchers interested in the study of EtR languages and accessible communication. The conference aims to advance research and networking on modified language used for communication with people who have various difficulties in understanding standard forms of language.

This conference begins with the notion that English is today used by about 1.5 billion people, less than a third of whom speak it as their first language. This minority-majority reversal has significantly impacted the grammatical characteristics of English, the demographics of the Anglophone population, the domains in which English is used, and attitudes towards the language, which has been described both as a venue for increased global communication and as a cultural and economic predator. The history of the language is being rewritten as well, from one defined by conventional periodization and the triumph of English as a Germanic language, to one that has reoriented the historical and contemporary significance of the language’s traditional homelands. The Once and Future English asks the question: How will English’s present and past look to future speakers?

Under the auspices of the Association for Logic, Language, and Information (FoLLI), the European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (ESSLLI) runs every year. Except for 2021, where the school will be virtual, it runs in a different European country each year. It takes place over two weeks in the summer, hosts approximately 50 different courses at both introductory and advanced levels, and attracts around 400 participants from all over the world. The main focus of ESSLLI is the interface between linguistics, logic and computation, with special emphasis in human linguistic and cognitive ability. Courses, both introductory and advanced, cover a wide variety of topics within the combined areas of interest: Logic and Computation, Computation and Language, and Language and Logic. Workshops are also organized, providing opportunities for in-depth discussion of issues at the forefront of research, as well as a series of invited evening lectures. Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI 2022 are invited in all areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computer Sciences. Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged. Course proposals should fall under one of the categories Foundational Courses, Introductory Courses, Advanced Courses or Workshops. Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions, offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. Proposals for two-week courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one.
