Meeting Description:

Call for Papers: 

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Arizona is pleased to
invite abstracts for submission to the 39th West Coast Conference on Formal
Linguistics (WCCFL 39) to be virtually hosted April 8-11, 2020.

Invited Speakers:
Noam Chomsky, The University of Arizona
Keren Rice, University of Toronto
Andrew McKenzie, The University of Kansas

Main Session:
Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks and posters on all aspects of
theoretical linguistics.

Special Sessions: 

Formal Linguistics for Language Reclamation:
Abstracts are invited for 20-minute WCCFL talks and posters on work that
connects formal linguistics with work on reclaiming languages. This could
include reports on work that involves archival materials, community
linguistics, language pedagogy, corpus linguistics, engagement with older
linguistic research, the creation of annotated textual materials including
ILGs, work that incorporates cultural insights, using linguistic analysis to
inform or analyze orthographies, using historical linguistics techniques for
language reconstruction of sleeping languages, the analysis of grammatical
resources used in the construction of names for modern concepts, and more! We
plan for this special session to integrate with the Symposium on American
Indian Languages, which will he held concurrently with one day of WCCFL, on
April 9.

Roots in Linguistic Theory:
Abstracts are invited for 20-minute WCCFL talks and posters on the status of
‘roots’ in linguistic theory. What are their phonological, morphological,
syntactic, semantic, characteristics? What is their role in language
processing and production? How are they acquired? How do they behave in
specific linguistic systems — Salishan, Semitic, Athapaskan, Romance, ASL... —
and are the items identified as ‘roots’ in each system isomorphic to similar
morphs in other systems? Are roots a-categorial? Does every extended
projection contain a root? Etc.!

Instructions for abstract submission:
 - Abstracts must be in PDF format.
 - Abstracts must not exceed two pages of letter-sized or A4 paper, including
data and references.
 - Abstracts should have 1″ margins on all sides, set in a font no smaller
than 11 points.
 - Abstracts should have a clear title and should not identify the author(s).
 - Abstracts should indicate whether they are to be considered for
presentation as a talk, as a poster, or both.
 - Submissions are limited to one individual and one joint abstract per
author, or two joint abstracts per author.
 - The abstract must be submitted electronically using EasyChair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wccfl2021.
