Meeting Description:

Quantitative Investigations in Theoretical Linguistics (QITL) offers a forum 
for researchers approaching problems in theoretical linguistics from a 
quantitative point of view. The conference offers a platform for diverse areas 
of linguistics, from phonology through morphology, syntax, semantics or 
pragmatics, in both corpus-based, psycholinguistic/experimental or 
computational methodologies approaching problems in grammar, first and second 
language acquisition, historical linguistics and more.

4th Conference on Quantitative Investigations in Theoretical Linguistics
(QITL-4)

First Call for Papers (Deadline: 15 November 2010)

Quantitative models of linguistic phenomena have been increasingly informing 
linguistic theory by testing, confirming and falsifying linguists' hypotheses, 
and translating their insights into language based applications. Despite this, 
the divide between theoretical linguistics and empirical research remains 
substantial, with many theories being expressed in terms that are not conducive 
to data-based testing, and conversely, the appearance of a variety of data-
based studies and applications with no adequate theory to frame and explain 
their results.

Quantitative Investigations in Theoretical Linguistics (QITL) offers a forum 
for researchers who aim to bridge this gap from any linguistic discipline or 
methodology, and in particular, but not limited to:

- Quantitative corpus based studies
- Psycholinguistics
- Computational linguistics / NLP
- Historical linguistics
- Lexicography
- Second language acquisition / applied linguistics
- First language acquisition

The fourth conference (QITL-4) is set to take place at Humboldt University in 
Berlin, between 28-31 March 2011. We invite researchers to submit abstracts of 
approx. 500-1000 words (not including references and figures or tables) for 30 
minute talks with 10 minutes additional discussion or a poster presentation 
(please specify your preferred format). Please send all submissions to 
qitl4 at lists.hu-berlin.de electronically by:

15.11.2010

Please see the Information for Presenters on the website for formatting 
instructions. Abstracts will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the 
program committee: 

- Antti Arppe, University of Helsinki
- Harald Baayen, University of Alberta
- Marco Baroni, University of Trento/CIMeC
- Douglas Biber, Northern Arizona University
