Meeting Description:

International conference comprising all fields of linguistics
For the first time taking place as a free online event
Special theme: Translation, Multilinguality and Cognition

Since its inception in 1966, the Linguistics Colloquium has been held annually
without interruption in a total of 18 European countries. Its long term
continuity is ensured by a large international committee consisting of its
previous organizers. The Colloquium is devoted to research in all areas of
linguistics. It is open to different theoretical approaches and aims to create
friendly and inspiring conditions for the fruitful exchange of ideas and
results. It is also appreciated for its welcoming atmosphere and cooperative
discussion culture open to scientists of all ages and nationalities.

Traditionally, authors submit an abstract which, upon acceptance, is presented
and discussed at the conference. Afterwards, a full paper has to be submitted,
taking into account the outcome of the scientific discussion. As usually, also
this year we plan to publish the 
proceedings as a hard-bound book in the series Linguistik International of the
publishing house Peter Lang.

Like many other conferences, this year, for the first time in its long
history, the Linguistics Colloquium will be organized as an online event. As,
despite regular attendance from overseas, the Colloquium has been mostly a
European event so far, we hope that colleagues from other continents will see
this as an opportunity to get to know the friendly and co-operative spirit of
the colloquium. To further encourage this and because an online event requires
less funding, as a novelty this year we decided to completely waive
registration fees.

CONFERENCE LANGUAGES: 
Conference languages are English and German. Although the Linguistics
Colloquium supports linguistic diversity, for organizational reasons we are
not able to provide for more languages. To avoid problems for delegates not
speaking both languages, attention will be placed on parallelizing programme
sessions in such a way that, as far as possible, there is always a choice of
language.

2020 by e-mail to lingcoll(at)gmx.de
