Call for Papers:

Negation in Amazonian Languages

The focus of this symposium will lie on the issue of negation in an attempt to bring together linguists working on different Amazonian languages and language families, who can make a special contribution on the topic. In order to improve comparability and enhance discussion, we will provide a questionnaire to the participants of the symposium.

Historical Phonology and Sound Change in Amazonian Languages

We invite contributions relating to any subfield of historical phonology and sound change in Amazonian languages.  In particular, we welcome research that highlights linguistic processes that are unique/typical of the Amazon, as well as methodological concerns which are often encountered by linguists working with Amazonian languages (approaches based purely on synchronic data; phonological reconstruction in small language families; insufficient phonetic data).

Tukanoan and Maku
(Nadahup/Kakua-Nukak/Puinave)

The symposium seeks to provide an open forum to explore the state-of-art in the study of Tukanoan and the Makú (Nadahup / Kakua-Nukak/Puinave) languages. Priority will be given to those papers which present new approaches or new analyses—those which have not been previously published and which make original contributions to the knowledge of these languages. 

Abstracts 

Abstracts should be no longer than 500 words for phonology  and 400 words for the two other symposia (excluding examples and references), and should be submitted in Word and PDF format. They may be written in English, Spanish or Portuguese. They must be anonymous. Abstracts should be sent as an attachment in an e-mail. Please include the title of the presentation, your name and your academic affiliation in the body of the e-mail.
