Meeting Description:

The Department of Language and Communication at the University of Southern
Denmark in Odense and the Centre for Communication, Culture and Society
cordially invite you to the 28th GeSuS Linguistics Days (www.gesus-info.de).
The conference will be held 25–27 May 2020 at the University of Southern
Denmark in Odense (www.sdu.dk). The theme of the 2018 conference is
Language(s) – Sprache(n) – Sprog (sg./pl.).
Since the very first meeting in Munich in 1992, the Society for Language and
Languages (GeSuS – Gesellschaft für Sprache und Sprachen) has arranged their
annual Linguistics Days in several European countries. The Society dedicates
itself to the research of language and languages in all linguistic
sub-disciplines and is open to different theoretical approaches and
frameworks.
In 2020, the Linguistics Days will be held in Denmark for the first time.
This year’s theme Language(s) – Sprache(n) – Sprog (sg./pl.) addresses the
central position of implicit and explicit comparisons in linguistic research.
Typological, comparative-historical, and contrastive studies are explicitly
comparative by nature, whereas explorations of a single language, e.g. within
a framework claiming universality, are, as a rule, based on or at least
inspired by an implicitly comparative account. Thus, they have the potential
for being comparative.
Besides discussing the results of concrete explicitly or implicitly
comparative studies, the GeSuS Linguistics Days 2020 aim at focussing the
comparison of linguistic phenomena as a method and as an instrument for
gaining new insights from different perspectives.

Topic Areas:
Relevant contributions to the conference include, but are not limited to,
explicitly or implicitly comparative studies from the following areas:
• Phonology, Morphology, Syntax
• Semantics
• Pragmatics
• Discourse- and Text Linguistics
• Corpus Linguistics
• Translation studies
• Language acquisition and Language teaching
• Multilingualism in individuals, organisations, and societies

Keynote Speakers:
Ulla Vanhatalo, University of Helsinki (Finland)
Claus Ehrhardt, University of Urbino (Italy)
Svetlana Kraeva, Chelyabinsk State University (Russia)

Conference Languages:
The main languages of the conference are English and German. As the
Linguistics Days support linguistic diversity, we welcome parallel language
use with respect to papers and presentations by covering at least one of the
main languages of the conference, such as providing presentation slides in
English accompanied by a spoken presentation in Danish, or a handout in Polish
accompanied by a spoken presentation in German.

Organizers:
Klaus Geyer, Alexandra Holsting, Rasmus Nielsen, Uwe Kjær Nissen, Simon
Hedegaard, Lone Villemoes

Venue:
The GeSuS Linguistics Days will be held in the conference area of the Odense
campus, University of Southern Denmark. The campus is situated in the
South-East of Odense. Address: Campusvej 55, 5230 Odense. Good bus connection
from the city centre.
