Meeting Description:

The multidisciplinary KLAARA conference is the venue for researchers
interested in the study of EtR languages and accessible communication. The
conference aims to advance research and networking on modified language used
for communication with people who have various difficulties in understanding
standard forms of language. Studies from different disciplinary perspectives
(social sciences, linguistics, special education, visual communication,
translation studies, information design) will be presented and discussed.

After the successful launch of the KLAARA Conference on easy-to-read (EtR)
language research in Helsinki 2019, the second international KLAARA conference
was originally planned for 2020. Due to Covid-19 it has been postponed to
August 30/31 2021. It takes place in Olten, Switzerland.


Call for Papers: 

Studies from different disciplinary perspectives will be presented and
discussed, as e.g. social sciences, linguistics, special education,
translation studies, visual communication and information design.
Contributions may be addressing topics as for example principles and
standards, text types, target groups, services, user participation and text
checking, instructions and cooperation with text owners, education in/on EtR,
language policy, empirical verification of guidelines, methods etc. Moreover,
it can be assumed that the situation around the corona pandemic has given rise
to further research projects because new needs in the field of communication
have become apparent.

Persons from whom an abstract has already been accepted will be informed
individually for further proceedings. 

In addition, the conference organizers invite abstracts for further section
papers, posters and workshops. Section papers and posters should be based on
completed or research in progress. Workshops may also be aiming to connect
people on new topics or provisional ideas.

Abstracts must be maximum 300 words, excluding references. For papers und
posters they should articulate: the objectives or questions being addressed;
the conceptual or theoretical perspectives informing the work; where
appropriate, the methodology; and the contribution to knowledge in light of
the conference topics. Workshop proposals should include: the workshop purpose
and its relationship to the conference topics; details of the program and the
expected contribution of the workshop.

 - Abstract submission opens: December 14, 2020
 - Abstract submission deadline: February 28, 2021
 - Registration opens: March 15, 2021
