Meeting Description:

The Universities of Oldenburg and Groningen are jointly organizing the second
edition of the conference Small languages, big ideas (SLBI), which will take
place in Oldenburg on 30 June and 1 July 2022. SLBI 2022 brings together
researchers working on Germanic languages from a variety of linguistic
subdisciplines, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
pragmatics, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, microvariation,
psycholinguistics, first and second language acquisition and didactics.
Germanic languages hold a big research potential for broader language
theoretical questions and offer a well-equipped, readily accessible linguistic
laboratory because of their rich (micro)variation.


2nd Call for Papers:

Confirmed Keynotes:

- PD dr. phil. Birte Arendt (Universität Greifswald): Small languages in the
digital age - the example of Low German.
- Prof. dr. Elma Blom (Universiteit Utrecht): How small language learners in
Friesland and Limburg build big bilingual lexicons.
- Prof. dr. Anne Breitbarth (Universiteit Gent): Parsing voices from the past:
The Gesproken Corpus van de zuidelijk-Nederlandse Dialecten (GCND).
- Prof. dr. Joana Da Silveira Duarte (NHL Stenden Hogeschool/Rijksuniversiteit
Groningen/Universiteit van Amsterdam) & dr. Mirjam Günther-van der Meij (NHL
Stenden Hogeschool): The multilingual and digital turns in Frisian and
Low-Saxon applied educational research.
- Prof. dr. Peter Gilles (Université du Luxembourg): An app-based language
survey for Luxembourgish: regional variation and language contact.
- Assoc. Prof. Jozef Tancer, PhD. (Univerzita Komenského v Bratislave): title
t.b.a.

In addition to oral presentations, the conference will feature a poster
session at the end of the first day, in which we still have slot available. In
this 2nd call for papers we invite abstracts for poster presentations only.
The abstract should address one or more Germanic language(s) other than the
two largest Germanic languages English and German. Aside from languages such
as Dutch, Afrikaans, Scandinavian languages and Frisian we also explicitly
invite research on regional language(s), contact language(s) or dialect(s)
from a general or comparative perspective, linking it to linguistic theory, be
it from a synchronous or diachronous perspective. We specifically encourage
junior researchers and students to take this as an opportunity to present
their own work. This also includes work in progress.

You can submit your abstract in any Germanic variety you like, but please also
provide an English translation for practical purposes. We encourage the use of
languages other than English and/or German as metalanguages for the posters.
However, if you would like to present a poster in a different language,
minority language or dialect, we kindly ask that an English translation of
your poster be provided as a handout to ensure intelligibility. Your abstract
should be maximally one A4 page, single spaced, with 2.5 cm margins and a
12-point font, formatted as a PDF-file. We allow for one additional page with
data and figures, and a final page with references.

Please send your abstract to SLBI2022 at uol.de before Monday, 14 March 2022
23:59 Central European Time. The abstract (PDF-file) should be anonymized.
Please provide the following details in the email itself:

- Your name and if applicable, the name(s) of your co-author(s) + affiliations
- In case you are submitting as a student (bachelor or master), please
indicate so.
