Meeting Description:

The first ISOCTAL was held in 2015 at Newcastle University
(https://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/isoctal2015/conferenceinformation/), and it was
a successful and fruitful conference; we hope we can turn it into a regular
biennial meeting.

ISOCTAL-2 hopes to feature papers on many topics in Chinese linguistics,
understood broadly as covering all Sinitic languages, e.g. Mandarin, Wu,
Cantonese and all regional varieties, including syntax, morphology, phonetics
and phonology, semantics, language variation and sociolinguistic studies,
diachronic change, language contact, typology and comparative studies, child
language acquisition, second language acquisition and teaching, applications
of translation and code-switching to pedagogy.

There will be a thematic session on child language acquisition with emphasis
on research that has cross-linguistic implications and empirical work that
refers to Mandarin, Wu, Cantonese and other languages spoken in Chinese
communities.

The language of the conference is English.

Walter Bisang (Johannes Gutenberg-University)

Second call for Papers:

Papers are invited for ISOCTAL-2 on any topics in Chinese linguistics,
understood broadly as covering all Sinitic languages, e.g. Mandarin, Wu,
Cantonese and all regional varieties, including:

- Syntax
- Morphology
- Phonetics and Phonology
- Semantics
- Language variation and sociolinguistic studies
- Diachronic change
- Language contact
- Typology and comparative studies
- Child language acquisition
- Second language acquisition and teaching
- Applications of translation and code-switching to pedagogy.

There will be a thematic session on child language acquisition with emphasis
on research that has cross-linguistic implications and empirical work that
refers to Mandarin, Wu, Cantonese and other languages spoken in Chinese
communities. All the abstracts on child language acquisition will by default
be assigned to the thematic session, so that submitters do not have to specify
this in their abstract.

Talks will be 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for discussion and questions.
Poster presentations are also welcome (if you wish to present a poster rather
than an oral presentation, you must specify this on the abstract). Each author
is limited to the submission of two abstracts as the first author or
co-author. Abstracts (max. 450 words, excluding references) should be uploaded
in PDF format to Easychair.

The language of the conference is English.

Important Dates:

Deadline for submissions: 15 May, 2017
Notification of acceptance: 30 June, 2017
Conference: 14-16 December, 2017
