Call Deadline: 10-Mar-2020 

Meeting Description:

At the beginning of a new decade, this conference aims to re-energise
discussions surrounding the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European (PIE), the
common ancestor of the Indo-European (IE) language family. We invite papers
that tackle head-on the familiar challenges one faces in attempting linguistic
reconstruction, and explain how we can overcome them with perhaps unfamiliar
approaches.

We are delighted to be joined by two keynote speakers:

Prof Elisabeth Rieken (Phillips University of Marburg) will give a talk
entitled “Beyond Hittite: Anatolian in Proto-Indo-European reconstruction
today.”

Prof Eugenio R. Luján (Complutense University of Madrid) will give a talk
entitled “Structure or Chaos: Syntactic reconstruction and
Proto-Indo-European.”


Call for Papers: 

We invite papers and posters on any aspect of PIE reconstruction, including -
but not limited to - phonological, morphological and syntactic elements.
Presentations can span from more data-focused analyses to broader, theoretical
questions that push the boundaries of the methodologies we have employed so
far. This broad spectrum of topics will allow different areas of research to
be included, while maintaining a focus on the central importance of linguistic
reconstruction in IE studies.

Papers will be 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes of discussion (30 mins
total).

Posters should be of standard (A0) size. Please include in your abstract
whether you expect your poster to be portrait or landscape. This will not
affect our decision on its acceptance and you may let the organisers know if
you wish to change the orientation a later stage.

If you wish to present something at this conference, please submit an abstract
of up to 500 words, (not including bibliography) in PDF to
pier.cam2020 at gmail.com. Please specify whether you wish to be considered for
either a paper or a poster or both.

The deadline for abstract submission is March 10, 2020. Your abstract should
also include your name, email and institutional affiliation (if any). We will
aim to notify you of our decision within a month of the deadline.
