Meeting Description:

The 13th triennial meeting of the Forum for Research on the Languages of
Scotland and Ulster (FRLSU) will be run as an online event hosted by the
Institute of English Philology at the LMU Munich from 28 to 30 October, 2021.

We welcome contributions on any of the languages and varieties spoken, signed
or written in Scotland or the nine counties of Ulster, from any linguistic
perspective, modern or historical. We welcome papers from experienced
academics as well as post-graduate and doctoral students.

In addition to topics falling within the broader scope of FRLSU, a thematic
focus will be placed on the languages of Scotland and Ulster in a global
context, past and present. We therefore particularly encourage the submission
of papers which
a) spotlight international research on the languages of Scotland and Ulster
and 
b) explore linguistic aspects of global varieties of Scots and Scottish
Gaelic, both historical 
and present-day.

All theoretical approaches, frameworks, and models are welcome. Comparative
studies will be considered as will discussions of the use of language in
literature. We are planning a dedicated online poster session, which is a
format particularly suitable for the presentation of research projects in
their early stages.

The plenary talks will be delivered by:
Marina Dossena (University of Bergamo)
Rob Dunbar (University of Edinburgh)
Ole Schützler (University of Leipzig)


Call for Papers: 

We invite abstracts for a 20-minute talk followed by a 10-minute discussion.
We also encourage poster submissions, which will be given a dedicated 1-hour
session.

Please submit your anonymised abstract of up to 300 words (excluding
references), outlining your research question(s), approach, and projected
results, both as a Word document and as a PDF file via Easy Abs
(http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/frlsu2021) by Monday, 31 May 2021, midnight
CET. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by the end of August 2021.
Submissions will be subjected to a double-blind peer-review process.

The language of the conference is English.

Fees: 
The conference will be free for students while regular registration fees will
be kept low.

Important Dates: 
Deadline for abstracts: 31 May 2021
Notification of acceptance: by 31 August 2021
Registration for contributors: 1 August to 15 October 2021
