Call Deadline: 01-Jun-2025

Call for Papers:
Extending the Association of Written Language and Literacy’s (AWLL)
tradition of international conferences devoted to writing systems,
AWLL15 will convene to facilitate researchers from various backgrounds
in exploring their shared interests in written words; from their
diverse graphematic forms to the different kinds of information evoked
within the reciprocal processes of writing and reading.  In that
spirit, this call invites abstract submissions that address relevant
research questions, including (but not limited to) the following:
 • How do the different dimensions of graphematic complexity (i.e.,
Daniels & Share, 2018) play out across different writing systems?
 • How do various linguistic factors (i.e., phonological and/or
morphological awareness, discursive style) interact in producing and
comprehending written words?
 • How can cross-linguistic studies elucidate the distinction between
the language-universal and language-specific properties of written
words?
 • What are the cognitive and neurological mechanisms that mediate the
processing from graphematic words to meaning?
 • What historical practices, sociolinguistic tensions and/or
technological shifts influence the realization of contemporary texts?
The 3-day program will feature two keynote talks, a themed-symposium,
a series of oral and poster sessions, AWLL’s business meeting and
conclude with a panel discussion.
Keynote speakers:
Elinor Saiegh-Haddad (Bar-Ilan University, Israel)
Alessandro Lenci (University of Pisa, Italy)
Local organizer: Vito Pirrelli (CNR Pisa, Italy)
Program committee: Terry Joyce (Tama University, Japan), Lynne Cahill
(University of Sussex, UK), Dorit Ravid (University of Tel Aviv,

Submission deadline: 01 June 2025
Notification of acceptance: 01 August 2025

Applicants for both oral and poster presentations should submit
