Meeting Description:

In both generative and functional writings, we find lots of insightful generalizations about the relationship between language form and function, some of which are fully compatible with one another while others are seemingly not. Both approaches are hugely beneficial to all researchers who are trying to uncover the secrets of languages; and moreover, interfaces between the different modules in the Language Faculty (such as the syntax-pragmatics interface), and interfaces between the Language Faculty and the other cognitive systems in the human brain, are hot issues in current linguistic studies as well as in current multidisciplinary studies. It is therefore timely and important for scholars from all relevant areas of the language sciences to come together and present their latest research on language form and function and to learn from each other's recent insights. This is exactly the goal of the ICLFF.

Keynote speakers (in alphabetical order):

- Crain, Stephen (Macquarie University)
- Hawkins, John A. (University of California Davis & Cambridge University)
- Lee, Tomas Hun-Tak (Chinese University of Hong Kong)
- Newmeyer, Frederick J. (University of Washington)
- Tsai,Wei-Tien, Dylan (National Tsing Hua University)
- Xu, Liejiong (University of Toronto)
- among others.

Call for Papers:

Paper submissions to the ICLFF are invited on original and unpublished research addressing any aspects of the interaction of language form and function under any framework.

Abstracts can be written in either English or Chinese and are limited to one single-spaced A4 page. Please send two copies as attachments by e-mail to iclff2015 at 126.com. The first copy should be an Microsoft Word document with the following information: (i) author’s name(s); (ii) affiliation(s); (iii) email address(es). For reviewing purposes, the second copy should be an anonymous PDF document with the above information deleted.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
