Meeting Description:

Polar (yes/no) questions: form, meaning and more is one of 21 thematic
workshops at The Biennial of Czech Linguistics. The workshop aims to
bring together researchers who work on forms, meanings, and functions
of polar questions in their intra- and cross-linguistic variability.

The Biennial of Czech Linguistics is the first edition of a new
conference which will take place at the Faculty of Arts, Charles
University in September 2024.

Call for Papers:

Conference date: September 18-20, 2024
Abstracts due: March 25, 2024

We invite a diverse range of submissions that draw upon theoretical
observations, experimental results, corpus research, and other
relevant perspectives. The goal is to establish a productive dialog
between different approaches and gain new insights into the nature of
polar questions. It is planned to address the following research
questions (the list is not exhaustive):

• How do forms of PQs map to various facets of their meanings across
languages?
• Which contexts can be considered natural for certain PQ types?
• How can the meaning of PQs be formalized and what predictions emerge
from certain formalizations?
• How are PQs processed by speakers, as well as during language
acquisition and/or learning?

We are pleased to announce the plenary speaker for the workshop -- Tue
Trinh (ZAS, Berlin).

Polar (yes/no) questions: form, meaning and more is a part of The
Biennial of Czech Linguistics. The Biennial builds on the model
applied at the European level (the conference of Societas Linguistica
Europaea) or in Germany (the conference of the Deutsche Gesellschaft
für Sprachwissenschaft). The plenary speakers are also Olivier Bonami
(Université Paris Cité), Pavel Kosek (Masaryk University), Barbara
Mertins (TU Dortmund University). Contributions to workshops and the
general poster session will be selected based on submitted abstracts,
which will go through a standard review process.

Abstracts should not exceed 2 pages A4 (not letter size), margins 2,5
cm, 2 cm at the top, font Times New Roman, font size 11, line spacing
1,08. A template is provided at https://bcl2024.ff.cuni.cz/en/call/.
Abstracts must be anonymous and must be submitted in the pdf format
via the OpenReview platform
(https://openreview.net/group?id=BCL/2024/Conference). One person can
submit at most 3 abstracts to 2 workshops.
