Call Deadline: 15-May-2016 

Meeting Description:

Linguistics, like other scientific disciplines, is centrally reliant upon
visual images for the elicitation, analysis and presentation of data. It is
difficult to imagine how linguistics could have developed, and how it could be
done today, without visual representations such as syntactic trees,
psychophysical models, vocal tract diagrams, dialect maps, or spectrograms.
With the emergence of new visualisation methods and technologies there is a
renewed interest in the application of these techniques to the study of
language.

In 2012, the University of York hosted the first AVML meeting, addressing a
need within the academic community for a forum dedicated to sharing work in
this emergent interdisciplinary space. After the success of this first
meeting, The University of Tübingen then hosted AVML2014.

The UQ Node of the Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language at the
University of Queensland is hosting ‘Advances in Visual Methods for
Linguistics’ on September 26 – 28 2016.

The venue for the conference is The University of Queensland St Lucia Campus.
Find more information here. 

Registration fees will be $200 (faculty/industry) or $100 (student) for the 3
days which includes catering and a digital proceedings, and $50 for the
conference banquet for interested attendees.

More information will be posted on http://avml-meeting.com/ over the coming
weeks.

as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only).

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 eLinguistics 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.
