Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce that submissions are now open for the 3rd edition
of VocUM, which will take place at the Carrefour des arts et des sciences of
the Université de Montréal (Québec, Canada) on November 17 and 18, 2016. VocUM
is an annual international conference organized by students of the Université
de Montréal, all from different fields of study relating to language. It is
the only interdisciplinary conference dedicated to language in Montreal.


Call for Papers:

We welcome submissions relating to the theme of VocUM 2016 – Language under
scrutiny: technology and corpora. This theme can namely be addressed from the
following perspectives:

- Fundamental Linguistics
- Language Processing
- Language Acquisition
- Psycholinguistic
- Neurolinguistics
- Forensic Linguistics
- Speech and Language Pathology
- Language Disorders
- Language Pedagogy
- Sociolinguistics
- Cultural Translation
- History of Translation
- Translation Policy
- Minority Languages

- Modern Languages
- Literatures
- Comparative Literature
- Cinema and Visual Arts
- Philosophy of Language
- Communication
- Computer Science
- Information Science
- Anthropology
- Sociology
- Educational Sciences

Submissions in French and English are accepted. In order to resist the current
trend toward English hegemony in scientific research, VocUM encourages the
dissemination of knowledge in French. Yet, contributors working in the fields
of Spanish and German studies can present their research in Spanish or German,
respectively. We may also consider submissions from undergraduate students.

Proposals (250 words maximum) must be submitted using the appropriate form,
available on the VocUM website. Anonymous peer evaluation of the proposals
will be carried out by a scientific committee. The presentations must be 20
minutes long, followed by a 10 minute question and answer session.

Important Dates:

Deadline for proposal submission: July 17, 2016
Notification of acceptance: September 2016
Conference: November 17 and 18, 2016

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!
