Call for Papers:

Trees and what to do with them: Phylogenetics and other statistical approaches
to linguistic diversity

Held at the University of Tuebingen, Germany, March 23-24, 2018.

Computational historical linguistics is a rapidly developing field that aims
to learn about diachronic processes and their synchronic reflections as
studied in linguistic typology and dialectology.

We invite submissions in any area connected to this line of research,
including, but not restricted to: 

- Using phylogenetic trees to study the evolution of linguistic traits
- Modeling linguistic universals and their possible underlying causes, as well
as data and methods in quantitative typology more generally
- Correlating linguistic histories with cultural histories, with input from
anthropology, archaeology and historiography

On a par with papers describing full-fledged studies, we also encourage
discussion pieces and exploratory contributions. We believe that in order for
our field to move forward, it is important to reflect on the current practices
and methodological progress.

Deadline for submissions: December 31, 2017:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psld18

Submission Guidelines:

We invite submission of abstracts for 30-minute presentations. The desired
length for abstracts is 2 pages of text (plus any amount of pages for
references or data tables). Submissions must be anonymous, without any
identifying information. To submit, please use this EasyChair page:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psld18 .
