Meeting Description:

Workshop on ellipsis at Societas Linguistica Europaea 2022

The main purpose of the ECBAE workshop is to bring together researchers who
have been working on elliptical phenomena (VP ellipsis, sluicing, stripping,
gapping, RNR, etc.) in various languages, with special emphasis on solid
empirical data, specifically through experimentation and corpus
investigations. Contributions will be welcome concerning (i) the specific
experimental methodologies being used in psycholinguistics, and how they can
be improved to give more reliable and interpretable results; and (ii) the way
corpus data can be brought to bear on theoretical questions, and to improve
the results of psycholinguistic experiments, specifically by increasing the
naturalness of the materials by providing new hypotheses.


2nd Call for Papers:

We are very pleased to announce that our proposal for the fourth edition of
the Experimental and Corpus-based Approaches to Ellipsis (ECBAE) has been
accepted for the SLE 2022 meeting in Bucharest
(https://societaslinguistica.eu/sle2022). We therefore renew our call for
papers for this workshop here.

Like previous iterations, this workshop functions as a forum for ellipsis
research, with special emphasis on methodologies aiming to improve the
empirical foundations of the subfield. Contributions to the workshop will make
headway in long-standing theoretical questions surrounding ellipsis (some of
which are listed below) and will furnish advice on practical issues, such as
how experimental methodologies can be improved to return more empirically
reliable and theoretically impactful results.

- Are structural cues used to recover the meaning of an ellipsis site, or is
recoverability solely a semantic/pragmatic phenomenon?
- How do different types of ellipsis differ from each other, and can some
ellipsis types be subsumed under others?
- Which factors are involved in yielding cross-linguistic differences in
licensing specific elliptical utterances (e.g., syntactic, processing,
prosodic, discursive constraints)?

The line-up for ECBAE 4 is designed to offer a wide variety of perspectives on
these research questions. The proposed workshop aims to cover a broad spectrum
of ellipsis types (e.g. fragments, sluicing, post-auxiliary ellipsis, gapping,
pseudogapping, etc.) and a range of methodologies (e.g. acceptability
judgment, corpus-driven, production experiments, self-paced reading). 

We invite additional presentations for this workshop, which should address the
research topics outlined above. While we specifically encourage contributions
that can support their claims via experimental or corpus data, we are also
open to papers that cannot yet deliver such empirical support, but make very
clear-cut empirical predictions that can, in principle, be given such
empirical support.

The deadline for the SLE workshop programs is relatively short (15th January,
2022) – please mind the following information:
 
1. You should submit your 500 words abstracts in Easychair using the following
link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sle2022, with a reference to the
3rd Call for papers
https://societaslinguistica.eu/sle2022/third-call-for-papers/ (guidelines
about what abstracts should contain), and to the Submission guidelines
https://societaslinguistica.eu/sle2022/abstract-submission/ (practical
information about how to submit them).
2. You should select the WS your abstract belongs to upon abstract submission,
i.e. Experimental and Corpus-Based Approaches to Ellipsis. 
3. The deadline for abstract submission in Easychair is 15 January 2022. It
will not be possible to include any other abstract after this deadline. 
4. Please also note that submitters have to be SLE members to submit an
abstract. For SLE membership, please go to
https://societaslinguistica.eu/membership. Abstracts submitted by non-members
will not be considered.
5. Please note that one person may be the first author of only one submission
of any kind (workshop paper, general session paper, poster, or workshop
proposal).
 
We are looking forward to receiving your full abstracts before January 15,
2021 via Easychair.
