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.
LCAD2020 conference is organised 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 experimental methodology.
2nd Call for Papers:
Five invited speakers will present 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 connectivity of insights from
varying perspectives to the topic of Linearising Constituents, as the Across
Domains 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, experimental linguists) 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 (including 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
- Experimental data (e.g. linear models, linearity, (non-)linear processing,
attraction)

Abstracts submission guidelines:
- Abstracts are invited for an oral presentations (20 min + 10 min), or
lightning talks (3 min) plus poster presentations.

the file name.
- Submissions will be anonymously refereed.
