Abstract notification time (estimated)
Late February, 2023

The 41st West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics (WCCFL 41) will
take place on May 5-7, 2023 at the University of California, Santa
Cruz. At this time, all talks in both main and special sessions are
planned for in person presentation: no virtual talks will be
accommodated. Poster sessions may be in person or virtual, depending
on demand. When submitting their abstract, authors will be asked to
select whether they would like to be considered for either: (i)
virtual poster presentation, or (ii) in person talk and/or poster.

Main Session
Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks and posters on any
theoretical or formal aspect of natural language, including but not
limited to phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and
their interfaces.

Special Session: Deixis and Anaphora
Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks and posters on deixis and
anaphora, across nominal and verbal domains. What are the ways in
which natural language can make reference to and depend on the
physical and linguistic context? How are these functions expressed
across grammatical categories like determiners, pronouns, adjectives,
and tense? Is the representation of deixis and anaphora formally
distinguished by the grammar? Of special interest are projects which
provide insight to the domain of deixis holistically, with reference
to one or more of these phenomena.

Special Session: Beyond Phi-Features
Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks and posters on phi-features
and featural representations, more generally. What semantic domains
are represented featurally in human language (including, but not
limited to, person, number, and gender)? How are these features
represented in the syntax and morphology? How do syntactic and
morphological operations make reference to these features? How are
these features interpreted, semantically or pragmatically? Projects
which investigate these questions in new domains (such as animacy or
definiteness) are of particular interest.

Instructions for all abstract submissions
- Abstracts must be in PDF format.
- Abstracts must not exceed two pages of letter-sized or A4 paper,
including data. References can be included on an additional page.
- Abstracts should have 1'' margins on all sides, set in a font no
smaller than 11 points.
- Abstracts should have a clear title and should not identify the
author(s).
- Submissions are limited to one individual and one joint abstract per
author, or two joint abstracts per author.
- The abstract must be submitted electronically using Oxford Abstracts
at:

https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/4891/submitter

- All submissions must indicate whether the abstract is to be
considered for presentation in the main session and/or in a special
session, as well as whether it is to be considered for (i) virtual
poster presentation, or (ii) an in person talk or poster.

Note
WCCFL 41 will give preference to new work. For this reason, during the
abstract submission process, authors will be asked to inform the
Organizing Committee whether their work is under review for
publication or has been submitted or accepted for presentation at a
major conference. Authors should also notify the Organizing Committee
promptly of any change in status of their submissions. (Note that this
information will not be shared with reviewers.)

Questions
Please send any questions to the WCCFL 41 Organizing Committee at
wccfl41ucsc.edu.
