Meeting Description:

G21C (Grapholinguistics in the 21st Century, also called /gʁafematik/) is a
biennial conference bringing together disciplines concerned with
grapholinguistics and more generally the study of writing systems and their
representation in written communication. The conference aims to reflect on the
current state of research in the area, and on the role that writing and
writing systems play in neighboring disciplines like computer science and
information technology, communication, typography, psychology, and pedagogy.
In particular it aims to study the effect of the growing importance of Unicode
with regard to the future of reading and writing in human societies.
Reflecting the richness of perspectives on writing systems, G21C is actively
interdisciplinary, and welcomes proposals from researchers from the fields of
computer science and information technology, linguistics, communication,
pedagogy, psychology, history, and the social sciences.

G21C aims to create a space for the discussion of the range of approaches to
writing systems, and specifically to bridge approaches in linguistics,
informatics, and other fields. It will provide a forum for
explorations in terminology, methodology, and theoretical approaches relating
to the delineation of an emerging interdisciplinary area of research that
intersects with intense activity in practical implementations of writing
systems.

The Grapholinguistics in the 21st Century Conference is kindly endorsed by ACL
(Association for Computational Linguistics) and by ATypI (Association
Typographique Internationale).

The first edition of G21C was held in Brest, France, on June 14-15, 2018 and
the second edition was held online on June 17-19, 2020. It is sponsored by the
LabSTICC CNRS laboratory (UMR 6285)


We welcome proposals from all disciplines concerned with the study of written
language, writing systems, and their implementation in information systems.
Examples of topics include, but are not limited to:

Epistemology of grapholinguistics: history, onomastics, topics, interaction
with other disciplines
Foundations of grapholinguistics, graphemics and graphetics
History and typology of writing systems, comparative graphemics/graphetics
Semiotics of writing and of writing systems
Computational/formal graphemics/graphetics
Grapholinguistic theory of Unicode encoding
Orthographic reforms, theory and practice
Graphemics/graphetics and multiliteracy
Writing and art / Writing in art
Sinographemics
Typographemics, typographetics
Texting, latinization, new forms of written language
ASCII art, emoticons and other pictorial uses of graphemes
The future of writing, of writing systems and styles
Graphemics/graphetics of science-fiction and astrolinguistics
Graphemics/graphetics and font technologies
Graphemics/graphetics in steganography and computer security (phishing,
typosquatting, etc.)
Graphemics/graphetics in art, media and communication / Aesthetics of writing
in the digital era
Graphemics/graphetics in experimental psychology and cognitive sciences
Teaching graphemics/graphetics, the five Ws and one H
Grapholinguistic applications in natural language processing and text mining
