Mapping Methods: Approaches to Language Studies (MaMe2014)

The University of Tartu, the Institute of the Estonian Language, and
Tallinn University
are pleased to host a conference on methods in linguistic research -
Mapping Methods:
Approaches to Language Studies (MaMe2014) - from 8-10 May 2014 in Tartu,
Estonia.

The multitude of linguistic methods in use today raises the concern and
need for
interdisciplinary communication and collaboration instead of the
traditional relative
isolation and autonomy of methodology. It is the aim of this conference to
provide
a platform for dialogue, where the disciplinary relations between multiple
approaches
could be evaluated and the possibilities for transfer or integration of
methods assessed
and discussed.

We encourage method-oriented contributions from a wide range of
disciplines, including
• historical linguistics,
• language typology,
• sociolinguistics,
• phylogenetic studies,
• computational modelling,
• corpus linguistics,
• language contacts,
• psycholinguistics,
• neurolinguistics,
• and language acquisition.
This list is not conclusive, and any contributions that make an effort to
productively
contribute to the topics under discussion are very welcome.

We invite researchers to present the results of their studies while putting
greater
emphasis than usual on the methodological aspects and elaborating on the
interrelations between the method and the object of study, guiding
assumptions in
the theoretical frameworks, and the possibilities for mixing methods and
interdisciplinary collaboration.
