Meeting Description:

The Universities of Oldenburg and Groningen are jointly organizing the second
edition of the conference Small languages, big ideas (SLBI), which will take
place in Oldenburg from 30 June to 1 July 2022. The SLBI 2022 brings together
researchers working on smaller Germanic languages from a variety of linguistic
subdisciplines, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
pragmatics, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, microvariation,
psycholinguistics, first and second language acquisition and didactics.
Smaller Germanic languages hold a big research potential for broader language
theoretical questions, offer a well-equipped, readily accessible linguistic
laboratory and are as such just as valuable for linguistic research as
majority languages or smaller, exotic languages.

Confirmed keynote speakers (further keynote speakers will be announced soon):
- Prof. dr. Elma Blom (University of Utrecht)
- Prof. dr. Anne Breitbarth (University of Ghent)
- Prof. dr. Joana Da Silveira Duarte (NHL Stenden/ University of Groningen /
University of Amsterdam) & dr. Mirjam Günther-van der Meij (NHL Stenden)


Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts that address one or more smaller Germanic language(s),
regional language(s), contact language(s) or dialect(s) from a general or
comparative perspec¬tive, linking it to linguistic theory, be it from a
synchronous or diachronous perspective. Contributions on Germanic languages
such as Dutch, Scandinavian languages and Afrikaans (that are academically
relatively underrepresented compared to the two biggest Germanic languages
English and German) are welcome as well. We specifically encourage junior
researchers and students to submit abstracts. In addition to oral
presentations, the conference will also feature a poster session at the end of
the first day. We particularly invite students to take this as an opportunity
to present their own work. 

Oral talks will be 20 minutes long + 10 minutes for discussion and in English.
You can submit your abstract in any Germanic variety you like, but please also
provide an English translation for practical purposes. We encourage the use of
languages other than English and/or German as metalanguages for the posters.
However, if you would like to present a poster in a different language,
minority language or dialect, we kindly ask that an English translation of
your poster be provided as a handout to ensure intelligibility. Your abstract
should be maximally one A4 page, single spaced, with 2.5 cm margins and a
12-point font, formatted as a PDF file. We allow for one additional page with
data and figures, and a final page with references.

Please send your abstract to SLBI2022 at uol.de before Monday, 14 February 2022
0:00 Central European Time. The abstract (PDF-file) should be anonymized.
Please provide the following details in the email itself:

- Your name and if applicable, the name(s) of your co-author(s) + affiliations
- In case you are submitting as a student (bachelor or master), please
indicate so in the email.
- Whether your abstract should be considered for an oral presentation, a
poster presentation, or both.
