Final Call for Papers

QITL-4, Berlin

28-31 March 2011

======================

 

4th Conference on Quantitative Investigations in Theoretical Linguistics

(QITL-4)

 

Final Call for Papers (Deadline: 15 November 2010)

---------------------

Quantitative models of linguistic phenomena have been increasingly informing
linguistic theory by testing, confirming and falsifying linguists’
hypotheses, and translating their insights into language based applications.
Despite this, the divide between theoretical linguistics and empirical
research remains substantial, with many theories being expressed in terms
that are not conducive to data-based testing, and conversely, the appearance
of a variety of data-based studies and applications with no adequate theory
to frame and explain their results.

 

Quantitative Investigations in Theoretical Linguistics (QITL) offers a forum
for researchers who aim to bridge this gap from any linguistic discipline or
methodology, and in particular, but not limited to:

 

- Quantitative corpus based studies

- Psycholinguistics

- Computational linguistics / NLP

- Historical linguistics

- Lexicography

- Second language acquisition / applied linguistics

- First language acquisition

 

The fourth conference (QITL-4) is set to take place at Humboldt University
in Berlin, between 28-31 March 2011. We invite researchers to submit
abstracts of approx. 500-1000 words (not including references and figures or
tables) for 30 minute talks with 10 minutes additional discussion or a
poster presentation (please specify your preferred format). Please send all
submissions to qitl4 at lists.hu-berlin.de electronically by:

 

15.11.2010
