Meeting Description:

The 16th Annual Meeting of the Slavic Linguistics Society (SLS-16) will be
held at Hokkaido University, one of the oldest state universities in Japan,
the 8-10 September, 2021. The host of the event is the Hokkaido University
(HU) Slavic-Eurasian Research Center (SRC) in cooperation with the Hokkaido
University Faculty of Humanities and Human Sciences.

Thus far, the SLS Annual Meeting has been held alternately between North
American and European Institutions (since 2006). From the very beginning, the
SLS has been instrumental in advancing Slavic linguistics and promoting the
internationalization of the field. These trends have naturally led to the
Japanese Slavicists getting interested in becoming more active members of the
Society. One of the manifestations of this increased interest is our proposal
to hold one of the annual conferences in Japan – the first SLS Annual Meeting
ever to be organized in Asia. We are very pleased to be the host of such a
historical event and, at the same time, proud to become a part, albeit modest,
of the SLS’s history.

We still do not know what kind of a situation we will be facing in 2021 due to
the unforeseeable pandemic, which has forced us to change almost every
possible plan. Yet, it is our hope that we will be able to welcome all
participants in person and enhance our scholarly dialogues thanks to the
event—needless to say, in a safe and friendly atmosphere, as has been the case
at all the previous SLS Annual Meetings.


Call for Papers: 

Types of Proposals:
 - Individual Paper
 - Thematic Panel

1. Individual Paper
Papers dealing with any aspect of Slavic linguistics and within any framework
are welcome to be submitted, as well as those that represent
cross-disciplinary approaches (sociolinguistics, computational linguistics,
language acquisition, etc.). All talks are to be 20 minutes in length, plus 10
minutes for discussion.

Abstracts should be written in English and should be limited to 3,000
characters. Accepted papers may eventually be delivered in either English or
Russian. Abstracts should be emailed to sls16in2021 at gmail.com in PDF format,
with any non-standard fonts embedded. 
The abstract itself must not contain the name(s) or affiliation(s) of the
author(s) or any other information that identifies the author(s). The body of
the cover e-mail should include the paper title, author name(s),
affiliation(s), status (faculty, graduate student, etc.), and contact
information.

Submissions are limited to one single-authored and one jointly authored
abstract per applicant. A small number of competitive travel scholarships will
be awarded for graduate students whose abstracts are accepted. Students who
are interested in being considered for a travel scholarship should indicate so
in the cover e-mail. 

As appropriate, identify the framework, describe the methodology, explain how
the data are analyzed—in other words, please be as concrete and specific as
possible in describing your work.

2. Thematic Panel
Thematic panel proposals should include the abstract of the panel session
limited to 3,000 characters, panel title and names of the proposed
participants (up-to four panelists in a two-hour time-slot).  

An up-to-date SLS membership will be required for presenting at the annual
meeting, but is not required at the time of initial abstract submission.

Deadline for submission of proposals: March 15, 2021
