Meeting Description:

This interdisciplinary conference welcomes submissions from graduate
students in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, fine
and performing arts, and anyone else who is eager to share their
innovative work on language use and linguistic forms of communication.
The conferences is inspired by the twin observations that
opportunities designed specifically to initiate cross-disciplinary
collaborations are rare, and that graduate students are ideally poised
to take advantage of such opportunities to generate influential new
insights and frameworks. The one-day conference will feature talks and
poster presentations in the morning and early afternoon. In the late
afternoon, speakers will participate in identifying persistent
questions and themes emerging from the talks, as well as potentials
for targeted collaborations.

Submissions for talks and poster presentations close Friday, 2/23. We
welcome contributions from all graduate students [pre-PhD] invested in
the study of language and its use, broadly construed. In particular,
we invited interested scholars to submit a paper or poster
presentation that speaks to:

- Contributors to communicative success & characterizing communicative
‘failure’ or misunderstanding
- Interlocutor effects in conversation: how do different interlocutors
make different conversations possible? How do listeners influence
speakers?
- The interplay of language structure, multimodal cues (e.g.,
gesture), extralinguistic context, biology, and history in linguistic
interpretation, online processing, and language production
- Competing disciplinary conceptualizations of language and their
implications; opportunities for interdisciplinary insight

Abstracts should be 300 words maximum, with an optional page of
figures or tables. Notifications will be sent out in early March.
