Meeting Description:

The Department of Modern Languages at the University of Bialystok (Poland) is
pleased to announce the first call for papers for the 1st Białystok Conference
on Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, which will be held at the University
of Białystok, Poland, 7-8 December 2017.

The conference is intended as a platform for scholars from different
disciplinary backgrounds, particularly in relation to various research areas
connected with language, including cognitive linguistics, socio- and
psycholinguistics, cultural linguistics, contrastive linguistics, translation
studies, language acquisition and learning, philosophy of language, and
philosophy of translation. The conference sets out to explore both empirical
and theoretical findings in linguistic research, as well as their pedagogical
usefulness.

In recent years linguistic conferences organized by the Białystok circle of
neophilologists have established a strong tradition in terms of providing a
forum for the exchange of views on the nature of language. It all started
almost fifteen years ago, in 2002. The main aim of the conferences was to
provide a meeting ground for a wide range of scholars: linguists, literary
scholars, foreign language teaching methodologists, to mention but a few
groups of researchers participating in the events. The conferences explored
the relationship between language, culture, and social interaction. They were
often organized in co-operation with French language scholars. 

This year, we are launching a new series of conferences on theoretical and
applied linguistics, which will be held in Białystok every two years, with the
aim of focusing on various dimensions of linguistics as related to a large
number of disciplines within the humanities, the social sciences, and the
arts. The main goal of the initiative is to make a significant contribution to
the study of language in connection with the realm of the constant changes
occurring in today’s world.
Therefore, we are pleased to announce the second call for papers for the 1st
Białystok Conference on Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, which will be
held at the University of Białystok, Poland, 7-8 December 2017.

Call for Papers:

The special theme of the conference Between Theoretical and Empirical Models
in Linguistic Research aims to focus the attention of all scholars interested
in language on the process of negotiating between two crucial poles in
linguistic research: empirical research and theory. In recent decades, there
has been a strong tendency in linguistics towards a greater use of empirical
data and empirical methods. It has also been observed that methodological
know-how has become a specific point of reference in our thinking about
linguistic phenomena in today’s world. However, too little space and time is
devoted to interpreting the empirical data as juxtaposed against the backdrop
of various theoretical and philosophical perspectives which, at least in our
view, might inform the methodology and provide a wider context for the logic
of research and its criteria. Therefore, our aim is to identify empirical
challenges in linguistic research and to stimulate a broad discussion that
will encourage the conference participants to reflect upon the ways
theoretical inquiry, including theoretical constructs of different disciplines
within the humanities, might be connected to empirical research in linguistics
and in translation studies. 

Possible sub-themes include, but are not limited to, the following subject
areas:
- The value of qualitative and quantitative methods in linguistic research
- The interplay between theory and practice in both linguistics and
translation studies
- Interdisciplinary approaches to linguistics
- Academic discourse and its cultural framework
- Current needs, dilemmas and challenges of cognitive linguistics, contrastive
studies, socio- and psycholinguistics, language acquisition and learning, and
translation studies.

Proposals in other relevant research areas are also welcome.

Abstract Submission:

All proposals must be original and previously unpublished. Please include an
abstract as an attachment (not exceeding 300 words, as a doc/docx file). 
Abstracts should be sent to the conference email (neofilologia.uwb at gmail.com).
The time allocated for a presentation is 20 minutes, with a further 10 minutes
allowed for discussion.

Selected papers will be published in Crossroads. A Journal of English Studies,
a ranked journal linked to the Faculty of Philology, University of Białystok,
or in a reviewed monograph.

Deadline for Submission: 31 August 2017
Notification of Acceptance: 15 September 2017
