Second Call for papers

WSCLA 19

Workshop on Structure and Constituency in the Languages of the Americas 19

Abstract submission deadline: January 10, 2014

Abstracts are invited for papers in any area of formal linguistics (including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics) within any theoretical framework. We welcome papers that address diachronic, sociolinguistic, or applied topics from a formal perspective, and we are especially interested in papers seeking to correlate the interests of formal linguists and the concerns of indigenous communities.

The organising committee for WSCLA 19 has selected the following workshop theme: Learnability Issues in Languages of the Americas. Abstracts which address this theme are particularly solicited, although abstracts on other topics are welcomed. Our guest speakers will address various aspects of this theme.

We are pleased to announce the following invited speakers:

Keren Rice (University of Toronto)

Michael Hamilton (McGill University, student guest speaker)

Heidi Harley (University of Arizona)

Ellen Courtney (University of Texas at El Paso)

 
WSCLA 19 will take place at Memorial University, Newfoundland. The conference will run all day on Friday and Saturday, April 25-26, and through mid-day on Sunday, April 27. We expect a volume of conference proceedings to appear in the UBCWPL series. In addition, we will invite speakers who address the workshop theme to contribute to an edited volume dedicated to this topic.
