Call Deadline: 29-Aug-2016 

Meeting Description:

This panel aims to showcase research in the field of lectometry. In this
field, quantitative measures are employed to aggregate over linguistic
variables in order to establish the relative similarity (or distance) between
different lects. These lects are collections of linguistic features that can
vary along any extra-linguistic contextual dimension in the broadest sense
possible (Geeraerts, Grondelaers & Bakema 1994: 4). Given the definition
above, several fields of linguistic research fall within the scope of
lectometry. Specifically, in dialectometry, stylometry, sociolectometry and
language perception research, distances between lects are studied along the
geographical, discursive, social and subjective axis respectively. In this
panel, we aim to highlight the range of research questions that can be
addressed against the background of lectometry.

The panel’s keynote speaker will be Martijn Wieling (Winner of the 2016
European Young Research Award (EYRA)), who will talk about “New approaches for
investigating and analyzing dialectal linguistic variation”.

The panel on lectometry is organised by: Jocelyne Daems, Karlien Franco, Laura
Rosseel* & Melanie Röthlisberger from the Quantitative Lexicology and
Variational Linguistics (QLVL) research group at University of Leuven, Belgium
and *the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO).

See website for an extended version of the call for papers.


Call for Papers: 

We invite researchers to submit an anonymized abstract of 400-500 words
(excluding references), for 20 minute talks with 10 minutes additional
discussion to lectometrypanel at kuleuven.be by August 29, 2016. Notifications of
acceptance will be sent out by September 9, 2016. The online platform on the
official ICLaVE website is intended only for panel organisers, or for abstract
submissions for the general session.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
