Meeting Description:

The workshop aims to bring together scholars working on gender from the fields
of morphosyntax, semantics, psycholinguistics, and language acquisition. There
is a substantial body of experimental and theoretical work on gender, the most
recent of which highlights the need to increase the depth of the research. By
doing so, a more comprehensive understanding can be achieved of how gender is
represented, processed, acquired, and developed. Moreover, further insight can
be gained into how gender interacts with different grammatical and linguistic
features as well as with other cognitive components. Cross-linguistic evidence
and experimental approaches can significantly advance the study of gender by
leading to a better articulated syntactic representation and, consequently, a
more qualified theory of language processing as well as of L1/L2 acquisition.

Invited Speakers:

Ivona Kučerová

Call for Papers:

The workshop ''Theoretical and Experimental Approaches to Gender'' (ThEGen)
encourages submissions pertaining to the overall understanding of the
grammatical category of gender. We aim to address theoretical as well as
psycholinguistic research on the topic and intend for the workshop to promote
further study of the analysis/representation, processing, and mono/bi-lingual
acquisition of gender. As such, we welcome abstracts which deal with the
evaluation of theories testing specific hypotheses in the relevant fields. 

Linguistic Subfields: morphosyntax, semantics, language processing, linguistic
typology, L1/L2 acquisition, bilingualism 

Abstract guidelines:

Abstracts may be submitted for an oral presentation of 20 minutes, followed by
10 minutes discussion, or the poster session via mail to thegen2018 at gmail.com.

Format:

Abstracts should be submitted anonymously in pdf format, Times New Roman 12pt,
with 1 inch/2.5 cm margins on each side; maximum length one page. 

Any references, graphs, figures as well as glosses may be included in a second
page. 
Each author may submit a maximum of two abstracts, i.e. one single-authored
and/or one joint- paper, or two joint papers.

Important Dates:

Deadline for Submission: 28 February 2018
Notification of acceptance: 28 March 2018
Conference dates: 14-15 June 2018
