Call for Papers:

Abstract submission deadline
11:59pm PST on Friday, January 2, 2023

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
wccfl41 at ucsc.edu.
