The annual conference of the Association For French Language Studies AFLS2018
will be hosted by the URI Octogone-Lordat (EA 4156) at the University of
Toulouse from the 27 to the 29 of June 2018.

The theme of the 2018 AFLS Conference,  Focus on French language usage and
users, has as its aim the exploration of research that brings new insights
into the usage of French by different users, addressing in particular the
following questions:

- How can we describe and theorise French L1 or L2 use?
- What are the advances in the research on French speakers and users of
French?
- What are the challenges for L2 French teachers today, especially in a
context where French learners' profiles and needs are more and more
heterogeneous?
- What challenges for the L2 French learner?
- What roles does the French language now play in the French-speaking parts of
the world?

AFLS2018 particularly welcomes research based on an empirical approach and
research considering usage as an important factor for language construction.
Hence, the treatment and visualisation of authentic language data for
linguistic analyses will also be important topics to be addressed in the
presentations.

In addition to the topics presented above, AFLS2018 also welcomes abstracts
focusing on the issues that are promoted by the association AFLS (linguistics,
psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, language training and didactics).

Plenary Speakers:

Prof. Rod Ellis (Curtin University, Perth, Australia)
Prof. Jonas Granfeldt (Lund University, Suède)
Dr Emmanuelle Labeau (Aston University, Birmingham, Royaume-Uni)
Prof. Isabelle Racine (Université de Genève, Suisse)


Call for Papers:

Two types of presentation may be submitted: oral presentations or posters.

Oral presentations: papers based on original unpublished research with one or
several authors. The talks will last 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of
discussion.
Posters: The abstracts for posters address original unpublished research and
work in progress, which will be discussed in an informal way during several
poster sessions that will be planned in the conference programme.

Submission and Evaluation:

The conference languages are French and English. Submissions must be written
in the same language as in the planned presentation. Abstracts should not
exceed 500 words (references included). Each submission will be evaluated by
the AFLS2018 scientific committee (see list below). The criteria for
acceptance include the originality, the quality and the thematic relevance of
the abstract. Authors can submit only one abstract as first authors and other
abstracts as co-authors. It is planned to publish a selection of the papers as
conference proceedings.
