Original Conference Posting: 

The Department of Romance Studies of the University of Vienna is happy to
announce that the workshop ‘Empirical Research on Portuguese’ will take place
at the University of Vienna on 07-08 May 2020. In recent years, empirical
questions are becoming more and more central in many areas of linguistic
research. The empirical testing of theoretical predictions and the empirical
deduction of hypotheses are no longer merely a possibility, they are starting
to become a necessity. This is no longer only true for empirically oriented
fields, even in theories that traditionally relied on introspection, the trend
of taking methodological and empirical questions in consideration is gathering
pace. This development offers great potential but also confronts us linguists
with new challenges. 

The aim of the workshop is to put a focus on empirical approaches to the study
of Portuguese. The goals are to address the advantages and disadvantages of
established empirical methods and to discuss how Portuguese linguistics can
profit from the combination of methods and other novel approaches that up
until today have not been used extensively for the study of this language. The
workshop will feature talks on topics ranging from corpus to experimental
linguistics by the following speakers:

Ernestina Carrilho (Universidade de Lisboa)
Ana Maria Martins (Universidade de Lisboa)
Alina Villalva (Universidade de Lisboa)
Albert Wall (Universität Zürich)
Carmen Widera (Universität Konstanz)
