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)
