Call Deadline: 06-Nov-2017 

Meeting Description:

/grafematik/ 2018 is the first conference bringing together disciplines
concerned with writing systems and their representation in written
communication. The conference aims to reflect on the current state of research
in the area, and on the role that writing and writing systems play in
neighboring disciplines like computer science and information technology,
communication, typography, psychology, and pedagogy. In particular it aims to
study the effect of the growing importance of Unicode with regard to the
future of reading and writing in human societies. Reflecting the richness of
perspectives on writing systems, /grafematik/ is actively interdisciplinary,
and welcomes proposals from researchers from the fields of computer science
and information technology, linguistics, communication, pedagogy, psychology,
history, and the social sciences. 
 
/grafematik/ aims to create a space for the discussion of the range of
approaches to writing systems, and specifically to bridge approaches in
linguistics, informatics, and other fields. It will provide a forum for
explorations in terminology, methodology, and theoretical approaches relating
to the delineation of an emerging interdisciplinary area of research that
intersects with intense activity in practical implementations of writing
systems.
