Meeting Description:

The Slavic Department of Humboldt University, Berlin is pleased to announce
the 12th European Conference on Formal Description of Slavic Languages
(FDSL-12) held on December 8-10, 2016.

The biannual conference has been hosted in turn by the University of Leipzig
and University of Potsdam since 1995, with the University of Göttingen joining
in organizing the conference in 2011. This year, for the first time, the
Humboldt University will host FDSL. At the same time, the rhythm of the
biannual conference changes, so that FDSL will from now on take place in even
years.

Additionally, there will be a special pre-conference workshop on ''Formal and
experimental semantics and pragmatics'' to be announced in a separate CFP.

Call for Papers: 

Abstracts are invited for 30-minute talks (20-minute presentation plus 10
minutes for discussion) on Slavic syntax, morphology, phonology, semantics,
psycholinguistics and computational linguistics.

We particularly encourage the submission of abstracts on formal approaches to
second language acquisition and multilingualism in/including Slavic. SLA and
multilingual situations are characterized by the co-existence of two (or more)
mental grammars and lexicons in the same individual, which leads to manifold
research questions: How do two (or more) concurrent linguistic systems
influence each other? What changes are instigated by the multilingual
situation in formal grammar, lexicon, and language use? What are promising
methods of research into SLA and multilingualism? What are the consequences
for language endorsement and teaching? A special session on this vivid area of
research will be part of the main conference.

Submission guidelines:

Abstracts must not exceed two A4 pages in length including data and references
and must meet the following format: 2.5 cm or 1 inch margins, single line
spacing, font size no smaller than 12pt, Times New Roman

Abstracts must be anonymous: nothing in the abstract, the title, or the name
of the document (and the properties of the file) should identify the
author(s). Only submissions in .pdf format will be accepted.

An individual may submit at most one single and one co-authored paper. All
abstracts must be submitted online through EasyChair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fdsl12.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
