Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 12-Apr-2015 

Meeting Description:

This parallel workshop serves as a counterpoint to the emphasized reflexive nature - why 
linguistics? - of the main conference. The gist of the event is, namely, to present your 
personal research topic in a short, simple, concentrated from, while keeping it accessible 
to the interdisciplinary audience of the conference, thus enabling feedback from different 
angles and fields, both academic and industrial. As such, there are no restrictions on the 
topic, as long as it is related to research on (or applications of) human language. As with 
the main conference, we naturally welcome linguists, but also researchers from other 
fields like language psychology, communication studies, cognitive science, artificial 
intelligence, etc. We also very much encourage young researchers about to complete a 
degree to participate in the workshop (for example: why not get feedback on your soon to 
be defended master's thesis?). 

Call for Papers:

Traditionally, Pecha Kucha  (ペチャクチャ) is a short presentation format where the talk is 
accompanied by 20 slides, 20 seconds allocated for each slide. As such, talks are 6 
minutes and 40 seconds in length. To save time, the slides are often set to change 
automatically after every 20 seconds mark. While we expect you to adhere to the time 
constraint (7 minutes tops for talks, followed by 3 minutes for short questions), it will be 
entirely up to you if you choose to follow the 20-20 format exactly and automatize the 
slideshow (the functionality exists in various presentation software), or to change your 
slides manually. Given the shorter and more concentrated nature of the presentations, the 
abstracts are expected to be similarly brief. An abstract for the Language Science Pecha 
Kucha should be formatted as follows:

Filename: PK_Firstname_Lastname_shortened_title.txt 
[please submit your abstract as a plain text file]

Title of the Presentation
Name of the Author(s)
Affiliation(s) (university, company, etc.)

The abstract should consist of a single paragraph, no longer than 7 sentences. Summarize 
the topic of the research you are presenting, give a brief overview of the theory or previous 
research. Present your findings and their implications. You may also touch upon the 
questions posed in the call for papers of the Why Linguistics Conference, but this is 
completely optional. Please use the UTF-8 encoding.

References (if any; no more than 3)

The abstract submission deadline for the Pecha Kucha workshop is the 12 April. 
Acceptance of the presentation will be communicated to the authors within a week from 
that at most. Please submit your abstract by sending it to the conference email address 
(whylinguistics at gmail.com). On the subject line, please write ''Pecha Kucha Abstract'' 
(without the quotes).
