Call Deadline: 23-Jun-2017 

Meeting Description:

The CNRS Research Federation on Typology and Linguistic Universals (TUL) is
the sponsor for a collaborative research project on questionnaires for
linguistics.  For the purposes of the project, we take questionnaire as a
general term to cover any kind of stimulus (including word lists, visual
stimuli, as well as descriptive templates, field manuals and the like)
designed to elicit linguistic expressions. The main goals of the project are
to collect questionnaires used for language description and typology, to make
them available to interested researchers via a website, and to study them from
a historical and epistemological perspective.

We are organizing a workshop in Paris on November 9 and 10 2017, during which
we will bring together users and designers of linguistic questionnaires in
order to delve further into the following questions:

What are the actual conditions and limitations of questionnaire use?
What types of questionnaires are currently being developed?
What changes can be detected over time in questionnaire-development
methodology?
What kinds of differences can be found in questionnaire development across
different linguistic areas?
What best practices can be established in questionnaire design?

Invited Speakers:

Birgit Hellwig, University of Cologne
Lila San Roque, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics

Call for Papers:

We are organizing a workshop in Paris on November 9 and 10 2017, during which
we will bring together users and designers of linguistic questionnaires in

methodology?
What kinds of differences can be found in questionnaire development across

What best practices can be established in questionnaire design?

We welcome case studies on the use and/or development of specific
questionnaires or types of questionnaires, as well as papers dealing with the
non-static nature of questionnaires and their re-adaptation for different
field situations.  Another question of interest is the relationship between
language description/documentation and linguistic typology as pertains to
questionnaires.
