Call for Papers:

Invited Speakers:

PETER JURGEC is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the
University of Toronto. He completed his PhD at the University of Tromsø,
Norway, in 2011. He has worked extensively on the phonetics and phonology of
Slovenian and its dialects. His other research interests include feature
theory, Harmonic Serialism, locality, consonant harmony, loanwords, and
exceptionality in phonology. His papers appeared in Linguistic Inquiry,
Phonology, Glossa, and Natural Language & Linguistic Theory. He also developed
PhonoApps (http://phonoapps.com), a collection of tools for teaching and
learning phonology.

ASYA PERELTSVAIG received a Ph.D. in Linguistics from McGill University and
has since taught linguistics at Yale, Cornell, Stanford and several other
universities around the world. She is a specialist in Slavic syntax, and her
main research focus is on the syntax and semantics of noun phrases in Russian
and how they fit into the larger structure of a clause in terms of word order,
case marking and binding. Her broader interests include linguistic typology
and historical linguistics.   

LJILJANA PROGOVAC  is Professor of Linguistics at Wayne State University. Her
research interests include syntax, Slavic syntax, and the evolution of syntax.
These interests are reflected in the four books that she authored: Positive
and Negative Polarity (CUP, 1994); A Syntax of Serbian (Slavica, 2005);
Evolutionary Syntax (OUP, 2015), and A Critical Introduction to Language
Evolution (Springer Expert Briefs, 2019). She has published 24 journal
articles, of which two recent ones (2018 a,b) report on fMRI experiments
testing some predictions of her proposal on language evolution. 

Submission Information: 

Abstracts are invited for talks and posters on topics in formal Slavic
linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
and pragmatics. Both theoretical and experimental studies that have
consequences for linguistic theory are welcome. Each talk selected for
presentation will be allotted 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
Submissions are limited to one individual and one joint abstract per author.
