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 provides 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).

Previous editions of G21C were held in Brest, France (June 14-15,
2018),
online (June 17-19, 2020), and in Palaiseau, France (June 8-10, 2022).
