Full Title: Closeness in Distance 

Date: 26-Mar-2021 - 27-Mar-2021
Location: Zoom, USA 
Contact Person: Lee Killey
Meeting Email: jlkilley at iu.edu

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Historical Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Lexicography; Ling & Literature 

Call Deadline: 07-Feb-2021 

Meeting Description:

Please join the Department of French and Italian at Indiana University via
Zoom on March 26 and March 27, 2021 as we hold our bi-annual conference of
Literature and Linguistics. There will be at least 2 panels dedicated solely
to linguistics, and possibly more depending on the amount of abstracts
submitted. The theme of the conference is Distance.


Call for Papers: 

During the past year, proximity, or lack thereof, has defined the world;
distance between friends, family, and colleagues has shaped the way we
perceive our surrounding environments. Why then, should linguistics, the study
of language, be any different? In a time where one is separated not only via
physical distance from others, but also temporally from the past and the
future, it is important to reflect on and analyze how languages across
cultures shape the way distance is understood… or is it how we perceive
distance that shapes the way we produce language? Could it be both? Be it
through the principle of locality, diachronic or diatopic variation, language
contact, etc., now is the perfect opportunity to explore the linguistic notion
of distance. We encourage applications in all subfields of linguistics that
include but are not limited to Second Language Acquisition, Syntax, Semantics,
and Sociolinguistics.

In accordance with health guidelines and to ensure the wellbeing of all
conference participants, the panels and keynotes will all be held online. The
panels will allow presenters 15 minutes to present their research. After all
presenters per panel have spoken, we allot an additional 15 minutes for
questions. All presentations are scheduled for Friday, March 26, while the
keynote addresses will take place Saturday, March 27. Each keynote address
will similarly be followed by a Q&A session, and a separate meeting between
the speaker, graduate students from the IU Department of French and Italian,
and other graduate students who presented at the conference.

We accept submissions from current graduate students as well as those who have
recently graduated (including all contingent faculty). Independent scholars at
an early stage in their career are also encouraged to apply. All abstracts and
presentations must be in English.

Format: Please send the title of your presentation, a 200 word abstract, and a
short biographical note to IUFRITGSO at gmail.com by February 7, 2021.
