Meeting Description:

LSRL is the premier conference on Romance Linguistics, distinguished by its
selectivity and its focus on high quality theoretical and empirical studies of
all varieties of Romance languages and their Latin origins. In celebrating its
50th anniversary, we envision a conference that branches out from the strong,
theoretical roots of LSRL and lays the groundwork for research programs and
data sharing practices that continue to move the field forward. The program
will feature a retrospective address by syntactician Christina Tortora,
keynote lectures by sociophonetician Zsuzsanna Fagyal, computer scientist
Thamar Solorio, documentary and historical linguist Patience Epps, and
psycholinguist and L2 specialist David Birdsong; a data science workshop led
by Jacqueline Serigos; and vetted oral and poster presentations. 


Call for Papers:

We invite abstract submissions to LSRL50 for consideration as 20-minute talks
(plus 10 minutes for discussion) and/or poster presentations on any aspect of
Romance Linguistics.

To commemorate a half century of research on Romance linguistics, we welcome
contributions in all aspects of Romance languages and dialects and especially
encourage abstract submissions that confront classic problems in Romance
linguists with new data or new methodologies.

All abstracts should be anonymous, no more than two pages in length (including
examples and references), in 12-point font, 8.5×11-inch page setup (= US
Letter), with 1-inch margins. Submissions are limited to one individual and
one joint abstract per author, or two joint abstracts per author, and papers
must be in English.
