Description of Slavic Languages (FDSL-12)</b></big></font>
<br>
<br>
The Slavic Department of Humboldt University, Berlin is pleased to
announce the 12th European Conference on Formal Description of
Slavic
Languages (FDSL-12) to be held on December 8-10, 2016.
<br>
<br>
The biannual conference has been hosted in turn by the University
of
Leipzig and University of Potsdam since 1995, with the University
of
Göttingen joining in organizing the conference in 2011. This year,
for
the first time, the Humboldt University will host FDSL. At the
same
time, the rhythm of the biannual conference changes, so that FDSL
will
from now on take place in even years.
<br>
<br>
Abstracts are invited for 30-minute talks (20-minute presentation
plus
10 minutes for discussion) on Slavic syntax, morphology,
phonology,
semantics, psycholinguistics and computational linguistics.
<br>
<br>
We particularly encourage the submission of abstracts on formal
approaches to second language acquisition and multilingualism
in/including Slavic. SLA and multilingual situations are
characterized
by the co-existence of two (or more) mental grammars and lexicons
in the
same individual, which leads to manifold research questions: How
do two
(or more) concurrent linguistic systems influence each other? What
changes are instigated by the multilingual situation in formal
grammar,
lexicon, and language use? What are promising methods of research
into
SLA and multilingualism? What are the consequences for language
endorsement and teaching? A special session on this vivid area of
research will be part of the main conference.
<br>
<br>
Additionally, there will be a special pre-conference workshop on
"Formal
and experimental semantics and pragmatics" to be announced in a
separate
CFP.
