Meeting Description:

VocUM is an annual, international conference organized by graduate students of
the Université de Montréal, all from different fields of study relating to
language. It is the only interdisciplinary conference dedicated to language in
Montreal.


Call for Papers: 

We are pleased to announce that submissions are now open for the 8th edition
of VocUM, which will take place online on November 18, 19 and 20, 2021. VocUM
is an annual international conference organized by students of the Université
de Montréal, all from different fields of study relating to language. It is
the only multidisciplinary conference dedicated to language in Montréal.

This edition of the conference will explore the numerous intersections between
language and space(s).Hoping to fully showcase the polysemy of this theme, we
will welcome presentations from a wide array of research fields. We will
consider proposals addressing the impacts of spaces of language practices
(mobility, travel narratives, communication and distances) and those diving
into the different discourse spaces (within the media, advertising, education,
private versus public, borders, and commercial spaces). Presentations may also
focus on endangered languages, minority languages, and language policy.

Proposals, of a maximum of 400 words, should be submitted using the electronic
form available on the VocUM website. The anonymous evaluation of the proposals
will be carried out by a scientific committee. Papers, lasting 15 to 20
minutes (to be determined according to the final number of presentations),
will be followed by a question period.

The exact terms of the 2021 edition (platform, synchronicity, etc.) will be
determined at the approach of the conference according to the evolution of
sanitary conditions. Having seen the success of the 2020 edition, which was
held entirely virtually, we know that it is possible to preserve the richness
and vitality of past editions even if space separates us.

The languages ​​of presentation are French, English, Quebec Sign Language
(LSQ) and American Sign Language (ASL). In order to resist the linguistic
homogenization of scientific research, VocUM nevertheless encourages the
dissemination of knowledge in French. Likewise, research in Hispanic Studies
or German Studies may be presented in Spanish and German, respectively.
Undergraduate student proposals will also be considered.

Please note that the entire conference will be accessible to deaf people
through a sign language interpretation service. Successful candidates will be
asked to provide certain documents before the conference so that the
interpreters can prepare.
