Subject: 1st North American Conference in Iranian Linguistics

Full Title: 1st North American Conference in Iranian Linguistics 
Short Title: NACIL 1 

Date: 27-Apr-2017 - 30-Apr-2017
Location: Stony Brook, NY, USA 
Contact Person: Richard Larson
Meeting Email: nacil1 at stonybrook.edu
Web Site: http://www.stonybrook.edu/nacil 

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Language Family(ies): Iranian 

Call Deadline: 20-Dec-2016 

Meeting Description:

The Iranian language family hosts some of the densest variation in grammatical
systems on the planet. Despite the remarkable scientific potential of the
Iranian language family as a ''laboratory'' for comparative study, and unlike
the situation with nearly every other major language family, no conference has
ever been held in the US specializing exclusively in languages of the Iranian
family. Stony Brook Linguistics is pleased to host the first North American
Conference in Iranian Linguistics (NACIL 1), April 27-30, 2017.

Invited Speakers:

Jila Gomeshi, University of Manitoba
Geoffrey Haig, Bamberg Universität
Simin Karimi, University of Arizona
Pollet Samvelian, Université Paris III

2nd Call for Papers

The new deadline for abstract submission: December 20, 2016

We warmly welcome abstracts on all topics related to Iranian languages and
linguistics. Submissions are invited for 20-minute talks (plus 10 minutes for
discussion) and/or posters (posters should measure approx. 3ft x 4ft or 90cm x
120cm) on any aspect of Iranian Linguistics.

Abstracts are invited from all areas of grammar (phonology, morphology,
syntax, semantics) and their interfaces. Abstracts on language acquisition,
psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, sociolinguistics and computational
linguistics are also encouraged.

We strongly encourage contributions exploring approaches to language diversity
and typological works (including but not limited to sign languages,
under-represented languages and comparative studies).

To propose a paper/poster for presentation at NACIL 1, upload an abstract
conforming to the guidelines below to the EasyAbs site:
