Fisrt International Workshop on Emergence and Evolution of Linguistic
Communication

31-May-2004 - 1-Jun-2004, Kanazawa Japan

Scope
Rules of natural languages such as usage, grammar, and vocabulary
change diachronically dependent upon the social situations of the
language community. This workshop focuses on those language phenomena
concerning language changes and evolution, that is, emergence,
pidginization, and creolization, from the viewpoints of social,
evolutionary, computational linguistics. Thus, we expect that the
workshop would contribute to the joint discussion among those who
share this common interest.

Topics
Relevant themes include, but not limited to: Language change/ Language
emergence/ Language acquisition/ Second language acquisition/
Multi-agent model of communication/ Lingua Franca/ Pidgin and creole/
and other computer simulation concerning language dynamics.

Important dates
Submission deadline: March 5, 2004

Meeting Description:

PALA, The Poetics and Linguistics Association
(http://www.pala.ac.uk/), one of the oldest and most successful
international organizations dedicated to the study of stylistics and
related fields, is holding its 24th annual conference at New York
University, July 25-28, 2004. The theme is ''Prospect & Retrospect,''
and the conference will focus on both old and new ''worlds'' of
poetics and linguistics. We invite abstracts and proposals for panel
discussions and workshops in the following and related areas of
interest: stylistics, narratology, literariness, literary linguistics,
stylistics and pedagogy, critical discourse analysis, gender and
writing, literary translation studies, linguistics and philosophy,
metaphor, cognition, cognitive poetics, pragmatics, text-linguistics,
corpus linguistics, text world theory, corpus stylistics, and
statistical stylistics.  Our theme allows the first PALA conference in
the "new world" to focus on both the old worlds and the new worlds of
poetics and linguistics. We invite abstracts stylistics and pedagogy,
critical discourse analysis, gender and writing, literary translation
studies, linguistics and philosophy, metaphor, cognition, cognitive
poetics, pragmatics, text-linguistics, corpus linguistics, text world
theory, corpus stylistics, and statistical stylistics.

There have been many innovations and revisions in methodology and
approach in recent years, many of which are reflected in the list
above. We are especially receptive to proposals that look forward
toward the future prosing new methods or approaches, suggesting
improvements in or confirming and expanding current methods or
approaches, and to proposals that look backward toward the origins of
the approaches used reevaluating, critiquing, revising, or
rehabilitating the methods of the past. Also of interest will be
papers that focus on novel forms such as hypertext fiction or on older
languages and literatures.

Abstracts for papers should be 300-500 words, and must include a
title, the author's name, institutional affiliation, mailing address,
email address, and any special equipment needed (overhead projectors
will be available for all sessions). Abstracts for panel discussions
and workshops should also be 300-500 words, and must include the same
information as a paper abstract for both the organizer and each
participant. Papers will be scheduled in strictly enforced 30 minute
blocks within 90 minute or 120 minute sessions, to allow members of
the audience to move from session to session between papers. Each
paper should be 20 minutes long, reserving 10 minutes for questions,
discussion, and moving from one room to another. Panel discussions or
workshops can be scheduled for either 90 or 120 minutes. (A longer
session may be possible by special request.)

Abstracts must be sent by email to david.hoover at nyu.edu

New Deadline: February 29, 2004
