Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 10-Jun-2022 

Meeting Description:

It is not uncommon among researchers to face unexpected issues while analyzing
a linguistic phenomenon. This is even more so for those at the beginning of
their career. The I Doctoral Conference in Linguistics in Rome (ConDoR2022)
aims at creating an occasion for young researchers to meet and discuss some of
these common issues among peers while looking for possible solutions to share.
Although unforeseen events may at first dishearten researchers, these often
can represent an opportunity to find new theoretical and methodological ways
and question the more widely known ones. In other words, accidents, hitches,
and glitches are new stimuli to the research process, which is ever-evolving
by nature.


Call for Papers:

Proposals dealing with the role of accidents in linguistic research will be
welcome, notably addressing the following aspects:

- Thanks to the widespread use of online corpora, empirical linguistic data
have recently received significant attention. As a consequence, discrepancies
between real linguistic facts and theory-driven expectations and predictions
are more likely to come to light. So how should we combine and/or question
theoretical assumptions based on empirical data?
- Some linguistic phenomena seem to call for non-monovalent but rather
multifaceted approaches. For this reason, over the last decades,
investigations started analyzing data at the interface between different
linguistic levels or, more generally, considering analytical tools and
approaches from other scientific fields. Can we then find new solutions for
traditional problems by looking at them from these new alternative
perspectives? To what extent can these hybrid approaches give rise to
intriguing new questions?
- Linguistic research, when based on empirical data, often faces accidents
that deviate from the researcher’s initial risk assessment. These may require
the research to be adjusted to completely unforeseeable and unpredictable
external situations, often beyond the researcher’s control. Which are some
good ways to react, re-structure, and update one’s research project and path?

The Doctoral Programme in Linguistics in Rome stemmed from the collaboration
between Università La Sapienza and Università Roma Tre. It is characterized by
a multidisciplinary core thanks to its three curricula – General and Applied
Linguistics, Historical Linguistics, and Italian Linguistics – at times
integrated by other curricula, e.g., Acoustic Phonetics and Ethnopragmatics.
Collaboration and exchange among researchers are considered fundamental
formative factors within its inherently interactive context.

The call is addressed to Master’s students who will have written their thesis
by the time of the conference, PhD students, and PhDs who have attained their
doctoral degree over the last year. Participants should present a 300-word
abstract (references excluded) with 3 to 5 keywords. Abstracts should address
the topic of the call from one of the perspectives characterizing our Doctoral
Programme. Proposals can be presented in Italian or English but can regard any
language. Each presentation will be given 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes
for discussion. Abstracts should be submitted through EasyChair at the
following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=condor2022.

The conference will take place in a blended modality, and in-person events
will take place one day at Università degli Studi Roma Tre (Scuola di Lettere,
Filosofia e Lingue, via Ostiense 236) and the other day at Università La
Sapienza (Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia, Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5).
Participation will be free of charge. The official program for the conference
will be made available online after notifications of acceptance, and it will
include a plenary talk by Dr. Chiara Meluzzi (researcher at Università degli
Studi di Milano) as invited speaker. 
ConDoR2022 proceedings will be published. Further information will be provided
at a later time.
