Meeting Description:
Linearising Constituents Across Domains 2020 conference will be hosted in
Bled, by the scenic Bled lake and castle, on 16-17 April 2020.
Linearising Constituents Across Domains 2020 will be the final conference in
the long succession of the Across Barriers/Across Borders Conferences
continuing from Object Agreement Across Barriers 2019 (Zagreb), Resolving
Conflicts Across Borders 2017 (Dubrovnik), Ellipsis Across Borders 2016
(Sarajevo) and Agreement Across Borders 2015 (Zadar) that preceded it,
following the tradition of inviting researchers to surpass theoretical,
empirical, experimental and modality barriers in their understanding and
modelling of linguistic phenomena.
The LCAD 2020 conference is organized as part of the UCL-hosted Leverhulme
project Agreement Mismatches in Experimental Syntax: from Slavic to Bantu,
this time in collaboration with the University of Nova Gorica and the Bled
Institute. Agreement Mismatches in Experimental Syntax: from Slavic to Bantu
studies the patterns of gender agreement and their interaction with linear
order, in coordination with a uniform methodology in six locations across the
South Slavic area and three locations across South Africa to enrich,
strengthen and reinforce the comparative analysis of two typologically
unrelated language families by means of the experimental methodology.
Final Call for Papers:
The deadline to submit abstracts for LCAD2020 has been extended to Thursday
December 12th, 2019, by midnight in the author’s timezone. Please submit your
abstracts using Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lcad2020.
Linearising Constituents Across Domains 2020 will be the final conference in
the long succession of the Across Barriers/Across Borders Conferences
continuing from Object Agreement Across Barriers 2019 (Zagreb), Resolving
Conflicts Across Borders 2017 (Dubrovnik), Ellipsis Across Borders 2016
(Sarajevo) and Agreement Across Borders 2015 (Zadar) that preceded it,
following the tradition of inviting researchers to surpass theoretical,
empirical, experimental and modality barriers in their understanding and
modelling of linguistic phenomena.
Five invited speakers will represent their research on linearisation across
theoretical and experimental domains:
Nancy Kula (University of Essex)
Richard Kayne (New York University)
Caterina Donati (Université Paris Diderot-Paris 7, LLF, CNRS)
Barbara Citko (University of Washington)
Diogo Almeida (NYU Abu Dhabi)
LCAD2020 conference is hoping to highlight the interconnectivity of
contributions from varying perspectives, as the theme refers not only to
linguistic domains (e.g. clauses, noun phrases, prosodic domains, tonal
domains) but also across disciplinary domains (e.g. Slavicists, Bantuists,
researchers in bilingualism and multilingualism, sign language researchers)
that bring theoretical excellence and new empirical input to a part of the
language map famous for its linear (conjunct) agreement. Considering the
extent of the tradition and layering of the topic, the conference invites
clearly written and theoretically innovative submissions for talks, with the
potential to have an empirical and experimental impact on furthering our
understanding of linearising linguistic elements in all areas of theoretical
linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics - across any theory),
comparative linguistics, typological linguistics, bilingualism and
multilingualism, sign language, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, language
acquisition, and clinical linguistics.
Topics to be included but not restricted to:
- Locus and timing of linearisation (e.g. linearisation of constituent or
phrasal domains)
- Word order (e.g. rigidity of head-initial and head-final categories and
languages, non-mixed and mixed word order languages, information structure)
- Cross-modular operations (e.g. shape preservation, roll-up, ellipsis,
post-syntactic linear agreement)
- LF interface (e.g. copies, multiple-spell out, multi-dominance)
- PF interface (e.g. tonal alignment, metathesis, reduplication)
- Theoretical predictions and existing data gaps
Submission Guidelines:
Abstracts are invited for an oral presentations (20 min + 10 min), or
lightning talks (3 min) plus poster presentations.
Abstracts may not be longer than 2 pages in A4 format (including references)
with 2.5 cm margins on all sides, single-spaced with a font size not smaller
than 12pt. Examples, tables, graphs et cetera are to be intertwined in the
text in the appropriate place and not collected at the end.
Submissions are restricted to a maximum of one single-authored and one
co-authored abstract (or two co-authored abstracts) for both events.
Abstracts must be anonymous and not identify the name or affiliation of the
author(s) in the abstract, the title, or the name of the document. Abstracts
should be submitted as .pdf files with one word from the title as the file
name.
Submissions will be anonymously refereed.
