Talks by young scholars

Moscow), “Fear complement clauses in typological perspective”
- Matti Miestamo (Helsinki University, Helsinki), to be announced


Call for Papers:

We invite submissions from young researchers (under 35 years old) working in
all areas of linguistic typology and grammatical theory, whatever the material
and theoretical framework. We especially welcome talks on the problems of
linguistic typology, reports based on authors’ original field data, and
corpus-based studies.

Submissions from young researchers (35 years old and younger) working in any
area of linguistic typology, grammar and phonology are welcome.

Each talk selected for presentation will be allotted 20 minutes followed by 10
minutes of discussion. The official languages of the conference are Russian
and English, and abstracts can be written in either language. The deadline for
abstract submission is 10 September 2017. Anonymous abstracts in
.doc/.docx/.rtf/.pdf format should be sent to the following email address:
youngconfspb at gmail.com, with “ABSTRACT” stated as the email subject. Note that
the abstract should not exceed 4000 characters, excluding references,
otherwise it will be rejected on formal grounds. In the abstract, please
define the problem, methods and findings of the research. The following
information should be provided in the body of the e-mail:

- Title of the abstract (if your abstract is in Russian, please provide
English translation),
- Author’s or authors’ first and last names (with English transliteration, if
necessary), and affiliation(s),
- E-mail address and phone number.

If you use non-standard fonts, please attach them to the e-mail and send an
additional copy of your abstract in .pdf format.

One individual may be involved in a maximum of two abstracts (maximum of one
as sole author).

The decision of the Organizing Committee on the acceptance/rejection of
submissions will be communicated to the authors no later than 1 October 2017.

We will be very grateful to potential submitters if they send us a preliminary
version of the title of their abstract (together with the author details) by 1
April. This information will greatly help us in applying for a grant from The
Russian Foundation for Basic Research. However, a) the actual title of the
abstract can be different from the preliminary version; b) by sending a
preliminary title the author is not supposed to commit oneself to submitting
an actual abstract at a later point; c) sending the preliminary version of the
title is not obligatory and does not affect the abstract selection process.

There is no participation fee.
