Meeting Description:

One important aspect in spoken, written and signed discourse is the proper
management and interpretation of discourse referents. Consequently, the
resolution of co-reference has been one of the most investigated and at the
same time most challenging topics in linguistic research on spoken languages.
Earlier research on sign languages has shown that the anaphoric links, due to
the peculiarities of the visual-gestural modality, can be established overtly
in the signing space and therefore leave little space for ambiguities in
anaphora resolution. However, with a semantic and pragmatic turn in sign
language linguistics and a corresponding growing interest in discourse
analysis, it has recently been shown that the ambiguities attested for spoken
languages exist in a great amount in sign languages as well. This workshop
combines theoretical approaches with typological and experimental ones in
order to yield a better understanding of anaphoric relations across languages
and language modalities.

This workshop combines theoretical approaches with typological and
experimental ones in order to yield a better understanding of anaphoric
relations across languages and language modalities. It aims at bringing
together junior and senior researchers from different sub-fields of
linguistics, working on anaphora resolution from various perspectives. 

The languages of the workshop are English and ASL/IS. Interpretation between
English and ASL/IS will be provided. 

Invited Speakers:

Petra Schumacher (University of Cologne, Germany), 
Emar Maier (University of Groningen, Netherlands)

Workshop Organizers: 

Anne Wienholz
Derya Nuhbalaoglu
Annika Herrmann
Nivedita Mani
Edgar Onea
Markus Steinbach


Call for Papers:

We welcome submissions addressing anaphora resolution and reference tracking
from formal, functional, typological and experimental perspectives in sign and
spoken languages. The topics of interest may include but are not limited to:

- Formal and functional analyses of anaphora resolution 
- Typological descriptions of anaphora resolution 
- Modality-specific and modality-independent aspects of anaphora resolution
- Psycho- and neurolinguistic aspects of anaphora in discourse
- Acquisition of anaphora 
- The impact of discourse structure and perspective on anaphora resolution

We invite abstracts for sign/spoken presentations. Abstracts should be
anonymous and not exceed two pages, including examples and references. Please
send your abstracts electronically in pdf- or doc-format to
arisas2017 at uni-goettingen.de and include your name, affiliation, the title of
the abstract and the presentation type you would prefer in the body of the
e-mail.

Student (poster) session abstract submission:

We invite graduate students to submit abstracts for a ''Junior researchers
poster session''. There will be a best-poster award for the most outstanding
poster. Note that the abstracts can be only submitted either for a talk or a
poster session.

Important Dates:

Deadline for abstract submission: November 14, 2016
Notification: December 14, 2016
