Meeting Description:

The Department of Asian and North African Studies at Ca' Foscari University of
Venice is pleased to announce the second meeting of the Conference on the
Endangered Languages of East Asia (CELEA). The aim of CELEA is to gather at
Ca' Foscari University of Venice scholars, researchers, and other academics
who work on endangered, indigenous, or minority languages spoken in the
territories of East Asia. The conference focuses primarily on the endangered,
indigenous, and minority languages of Japan, China, Korea, the Russian Far
East, Mongolia, and Taiwan so priority will be given to contributions
discussing languages spoken in these countries. However, contributions dealing
with languages spoken elsewhere in Asia will also be more than welcomed.
Please note that contributions addressing any aspect of the official or main
languages spoken in these territories (e.g. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc.),
as well as of the dialects and varieties of those languages, fall out of the
scope of the conference and will not be considered.

As the overall topic for this second meeting of CELEA we have chosen time. How
man perceives time as well as how he expresses the passing of time and
temporal relations among events within language has long been a topic of great
interest in linguistics. Having its roots in studies on European languages
(e.g. Reichenbach, 1947), the investigation on time as the linguistic category
of tense has moved its focus on non-European languages relatively recently.
This is even more the case for endangered languages which have been reserved
only sporadic (although now growing) attention. Indeed endangered languages
often represent interesting case studies in how tense is found to interact
closely with other categories such as aspect, mood, evidentiality, person, or
even with verbal valency. As for the specific case of East Asia, the
endangered languages spoken in this area most often differ strikingly from the
main languages spoken in the same territories (e.g. Japanese, Russian,
Chinese, …) in how they conceptualize time, with interesting outcomes for
studies on language contact, maintenance, and obsolescence. At the same time,
we will be addressing how time is a pivotal aspect to understand the evolution
of language through centuries, as well as the process of its decline, and an
aspect to consider in counteracting endangerment and in working towards
revitalization.

2nd Call for Papers:

Deadline extended January 31, 2022

Abstracts are invited for 20-minute oral presentations (plus 10-minute
discussion) and for poster presentations on any area of linguistics including
(but not limited to) phonetics, phonology, morphosyntax, semantics,
pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and historical linguistics. All abstracts
submitted for oral presentations and poster presentations must comply with the
overall topic of the conference, regardless of the area of linguistics the
author decides to focus on.

Abstracts should be anonymous – they should not include the name(s) of the
author(s) nor their affiliation. Please note that name(s) and/or affiliation
should not appear in the name of the file you submit either.

Only one abstract per person (or one single-authored abstract plus one
additional co-authored abstract) is allowed.

Please specify, right under the title, whether you are submitting your
abstract for “oral presentation” or for “poster presentation”.

All abstracts should be submitted in English, which will also be the language
of the conference. Abstracts should not exceed 500 words, excluding references
but including examples, tables, and graphs. Abstracts exceeding the word count
or containing the author’s name and/or affiliation will not be considered for
paper or poster presentation at the conference.

To submit your abstract please use EasyChair. Once you log in, follow the
instructions to finalize your submission – you are going to need to create an
EasyChair account, if this is your first time using this service. Before you
