[Lingtyp] Call for workshops - Langues et langage à la croisée des disciplines (LLcD)

[Sonia CRISTOFARO]

Langues et langage à la croisée des disciplines (LLcD) is a new research network, supported by the French CNRS. It organizes an international conference in France aiming to advance the scientific understanding of human language and linguistic systems, as well as to foster new collaborations and cross-fertilization among different research areas and approaches. 

The LLcD Meeting, slated to occur annually, will change its location and its thematic focus every year. It will be organized around a conference, as well as a panel discussion and a summer school, both within the theme promoted that year. The LLcD conference will feature plenary lectures delivered by invited keynote speakers, a general session and thematic workshops. 

The first edition of the conference is scheduled to take place at Sorbonne University, Paris, from September 9th to September 11th, 2024. Its main theme will be: Languages, variations, changes: synchronic, diachronic, typological and comparative approaches.The languages of the conference will be English and French. 

CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS 

At this stage, we invite workshop proposals on all sub-fields of linguistics, languages, approaches (descriptive, theoretical, empirical, interdisciplinary, etc.), in order to promote diversity across disciplines and methodologies. The proposals are not required to address the main theme of the conference. Each workshop will be organized in 30-minute slots for talks (20 min. presentation, 5 min. discussion, 5 min. room change). The languages of the conference will be English and French. Please note that this call is only for workshop proposals, and separate calls will be issued for the general session and for the summer school. 

WORKSHOP PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS 

Workshop proposals will be formatted both as a docx and pdf document, containing the following information: 

Workshop title and five keywords. 

Convenors’ names, affiliations and emails. 

Workshop description summarizing the main topic, research questions and objectives, including references (between 500 and 1000 words excluding references). The workshop description may additionally include a provisional collection of short abstracts (around 300 words) from foreseen speakers. The names of tentative keynote speakers may also be submitted (note however that LLcD will not be able to cover the associated expenses). 

Submission Deadlines and Details 

Workshop proposals should be submitted no later than January 30th, 2024. They will be reviewed by the scientific committee of LLcD and their inclusion in the conference program will be decided with the conference co-chairs. 

Notification of acceptance/rejection of the proposal will be communicated by March 1st, 2024. The list of accepted workshop proposals will be published on the conference webpage (http://llcd2024.sciencesconf.org), and a call for papers will then be issued by the organizers. Individual submissions should be made through EasyChair, and will undergo evaluation by three referees from the LLcD scientific committee, possibly with additional support from external experts suggested by the workshop convenor(s).
