2nd Call for Papers:

Extended Deadline: 30 MARCH 2018

We welcome abstract submissions on topics related to linguistic aspects of any
of the languages spoken, signed or written in Scotland or the nine counties of
Ulster in the past or today.

We particularly encourage presentations on the broad theme of “Linguistic
migrations”, including but not limited to the relationships and interactions
within and between historical Germanic and Celtic languages of Scotland and
Ulster, as well as the languages of earlier and more recent immigrants.

All theoretical approaches (or none) are welcome. Comparative studies will be
considered as will discussions of the use of language in literature. We are
planning a dedicated poster session, which is a format particularly suitable
for ongoing projects, early career scholars, and postgraduate and doctoral
students.

Full papers will be given 30 minutes (20-minute talk + 10-minute discussion)
and posters will be given a dedicated 1-hour session.

Please submit abstracts* of up to 300 words (excluding references), outlining
your research question(s), approach, data and/or materials used, and projected
conclusions, via Easy Abs (http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/frlsu2018 ) by
Friday 30 March, 2018. Submissions will be subjected to a double-blind
peer-review processes. Second call for papers with registration details will
