APPEL A COMMUNICATION
Deuxièmes rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs
'Applications et Implications en Sciences du Langage'
Paris, 29 mars 2003
Cette journée d'étude s'adresse aux jeunes chercheurs et
professionnels s'intéressant aux applications des sciences du
langage et aux implications et retombées de leurs recherches, dans
des domaines comme : la description des langues, l'analyse de
discours, la sémiologie, la terminologie, l'acquisition des langues
premières et secondes, la sociolinguistique, la pragmatique, la
didactique, la phonétique et la synthèse de la parole, la
linguistique de corpus, le traitement automatique du langage, les
industries de la langue etc.
L'intérêt de cette journée est de réfléchir ensemble, au
delà des différences liées aux domaines d'études choisis et
aux cadres d'analyse adoptés, à un certain nombre de questions
communes inhérentes soit à des recherches résolument
'appliquées' (en lexicographie par exemple) soit à des recherches
ou pour une raison ou pour une autre les chercheurs sont
confrontés à un terrain, à des informateurs, à des acteurs
sociaux, voire à une demande sociale ou une commande particulière.
Les communications devront s'intéresser en particulier :
- à la question de la posture du chercheur (par rapport à son
terrain, à la constitution de ses données, à ses informateurs
etc.)
- aux changements induits (ou produits) par le travail de recherche
sur : les objets de recherche, sur la situation sociale, sur les
interlocuteurs etc.
- aux problèmes de l'appropriation des résultats de la recherche
par les locuteurs, les acteurs du terrain ou les éventuels
commanditaires si la recherche répond à une demande sociale ou
institutionnelle.
Les communications de 20 minutes seront suivies de 10 minutes de
questions. Une session de communications affichées laissera par
ailleurs un large temps de discussion aux exposants. Des discutants
expérimentés, aidés par les présidents de séances, animeront les
débats et feront une synthèse des questions en débat lors
d'une table ronde finale. Les actes de la journée seront disponibles
en ligne et une sélection d'articles sera publiée dans un volume
consacré à ces questions.
Les propositions de communication (orale ou affichée) sont à envoyer à:
implik at yahoo.com, avant le 1er février 2003
- un texte de 2 pages, développant les questions précédentes
- accompagné d'une notice comprenant : nom, affiliation, adresses
postales et électroniques, téléphone et indiquant le type de
communication préféré

LINGUISTICS ASSOCIATION OF GREAT BRITAIN
Spring Meeting: University of Sheffield
First Circular and Call for Papers
The Linguistic Association of Great Britain Spring Meeting 2003 will
take place in the centrally situated city of Sheffield, from 14th -
16th April, 2003. The local organisers are Claire Cowie
(c.s.cowie at sheffield.ac.uk) and Therese Lindstrom
(t.lindstrom at sheffield.ac.uk).
There is a conference website available at:
http://www.shef.ac.uk/english/language/conferences/lagb/. This page will be
kept up-to-date with information about the programme, participants, travel,
accommodation, etc.
Sheffield is an old industrial city close to several of the other big
cities in the North of England. It is situated on the border to the
beautiful Peak District, and a day-trip away from the Yorkshire Dales. In
recent years the city centre has been greatly changed and 'rejuvenated',
the latest addition being a modern art gallery and a very promising winter
garden on the site of the old town hall.
Sheffield is beautiful around the middle of April and Halifax Hall of
Residence, where the conference will take place, has a wonderful garden
where participants can have a stroll in the breaks, and it is also just
around the corner from the Botanical Gardens. Presentations, the plenary
lecture, the language tutorial, meetings, meals and accommodation, as well
as the book display will all be in Halifax Hall.
Accommodation: In Halifax Hall there will be standard single rooms
available at a low cost. If an en-suite room or a double room is
required there are several Bed and Breakfast places and some hotels
within walking distance from the conference venue, please contact the
local organisers for further information.
Travel: The University of Sheffield is easy to reach by rail, air and
road. There are regular Intercity and cross-country trains and
connections from everywhere in Britain, and there is also a direct
train to/from Manchester airport which is the most convenient airport
to fly in to for those of you travelling from abroad. The M1 runs
through Sheffield and provides people both from the north and from the
south of Britain with a convenient and relatively easy way to the
city. However, the car park at the venue is not huge though it should
accommodate 10-15 cars. Otherwise it is also very easy to get there by
bus from the Transport Interchange (bus/coach) and Railway
Station. Many parts of the city can also be accessed by the popular
tram system which runs from the university. More information,
including maps, is available at the conference website.
Events: The Linguistics Association 2003 Lecture on Monday evening
will be delivered by Professor Stephen Anderson (Yale) and is on the
topic of Kwakw'ala Clitics.
There will be a Workshop on Clitics, organised by John Payne (Manchester)
There will be a Language Tutorial on Inari Sami, by Ida Toivonen.
There will be a Linguistics at School session on Community languages.
There will be a Wine Party on Monday night, hosted by the Department of
English Language and Linguistics.
Enquiries about the LAGB meeting should be sent to the Meetings
Secretary (address below). Full details of the programme will be
included in the Second Circular, to be sent out in January.
Booking:
A booking form will go out with the second Circular.
Call for Papers:
Members are invited to offer papers for the Meeting; abstracts are
also accepted from non-members. The LAGB welcomes submissions on any
topic in the field of linguistics; papers are selected on their
(perceived) merits, and not according to their subject matter or
assumed theoretical framework.
How and when to submit an abstract
Abstracts must be submitted on paper (not by email or by fax). FIVE
anonymous copies of the abstract, plus ONE with name and affiliation,
i.e. CAMERA-READY, should be submitted, and should be sent to the
President (address below) in the format outlined below. You must write
your address for correspondence (email or surface) on the BACK of the
camera-ready copy. (Even if several authors are named on the front,
there should be only one name and address for correspondence.)
Abstracts should be accompanied by an indication of any special
requirements regarding audiovisual equipment (other than an OHP).
Papers for the programme are selected anonymously - only the President
knows the name of the authors. Where possible, authors should supply
an email address to which the committee's decision may be sent.
Abstracts must arrive by January 6. Abstracts may also be submitted
now for the meeting after the next one, but must be clearly marked as
such. (In general the abstract deadlines for the autumn and spring
meetings are soon after 1st June and 1st January respectively, so an
abstract sent to reach the President by that date will always be in
time.)
Format of abstracts
Abstracts must be presented as follows: The complete abstract
(i.e. the one containing your title and your name) must be no longer
than ONE A4 page (21cm x 29.5cm) with margins of at least 2.5cm on all
sides. You may use single spacing but type must be no smaller than 12
point. If the paper is accepted the abstract will be photocopied and
inserted directly into the collection of abstracts sent out to
participants, so the presentation should be clear and clean. It is
extremely important that the length limit should not be exceeded.
Submitting overlong abstracts is unfair to other prospective speakers,
and the committee will not accept them.
The following layout should be considered as standard:
Optimality and the Klingon vowel shift (title)
Clark Kent (speaker)
clark at astro.mars.ac.mars (email address)
Department of Astrology, Eastern Mars University (institution)
The normal length for papers delivered at LAGB meetings is 25 minutes (plus
15 minutes discussion).
There is the possibility to submit abstracts for a themed session (or
panel), i.e. groups of speakers can ask for a whole 2-hour themed
session, and can apportion their time within that as they wish. All
the abstracts for such a session will be considered together.
The committee will plan the programme as soon as it has selected the
successful abstracts, so please indicate on the anonymous abstracts if
you cannot present your paper on either the second or third day of the
conference (15th or 16th April). It is very difficult to reschedule
papers after the programme has been planned.
Content of abstracts
The following guidelines may be useful:
+ You should clearly describe the paper's general topic. (The topic
may be a problem of theory or analysis or set of data which have not
previously been analysed.)
+ You should describe your treatment of the topic, and how it relates
to previous work on the same topic. (When referring to previous work,
it is enough to quote "Author (Date)" without giving full
bibliographical details.) It is not acceptable simply to promise a
solution'.
+ You should explain how you will justify your treatment, and quote
crucial evidence - you must trust the committee (and other conference
attenders) not to steal your ideas before you have presented them. If
you are taking a stand on a controversial issue, summarise the
arguments which lead you to take up this position.
Conference Bursaries
Up to 10 bursaries are available for unsalaried members of the
Association (e.g. PhD students) with preference given to those who are
presenting a paper. Applications should be sent to the President, and
must be received by the deadline for abstracts. Please state on your
application: (a) whether or not you are a student; (b) if a student,
whether you receive a normal grant; (c) if not a student, your
employment situation. STUDENTS WHO ARE SUBMITTING AN ABSTRACT and who
wish to apply for funding should include all the above details WITH
THEIR ABSTRACT. The bursary normally covers a significant proportion
of the conference expenses and of travel within the UK.
