LLcD 2024: First Meeting of the Network Language & Languages at the crossroads of Disciplines Sorbonne University Paris, France, September 9-11, 2024

Langues et Langages à la croisée des Disciplines - Language and Languages at the crossroads of Disciplines (LLcD) is a new project supported by the CNRS (France), aiming to advance the scientific understanding of human language and linguistic systems, as well as to foster new collaborations and cross-fertilization among different research areas and approaches. It will take the form of an international meeting, which will be organized yearly in a different location and with a different thematic focus, and which will feature a conference, a round table, and a summer school. The LLcD conference will feature a general session, thematic workshops, and Workshop & Tutorials events.

The inaugural LLcD conference, LLcD 2024, is scheduled to take place at Sorbonne University in Paris, from September 9th to September 11th, 2024. Its main theme will be: Languages, variation, changes: synchronic, diachronic, typological, and comparative approaches. The languages of the conference will be English and French.

Call for workshop proposals

We invite papers on all sub-fields of linguistics, languages, approaches (descriptive, theoretical, empirical, interdisciplinary, etc.), in order to promote diversity across disciplines and methodologies. The proposals are not required to address the main theme of the conference. The languages of the conference are English and French.

Abstracts may be submitted for the general session, or for the thematic workshops that are organized as part of LLcD 2024. The list of workshops can be found here.

Talks in the general session and workshops will last 20 min. for presentation plus 5 min. for discussion (and 5 min. room change). Each workshop will comprise a minimum of 7 talks.

Submission Guidelines

Abstracts must clearly state the research questions, approach, method, data and (expected) results. They must be anonymous: not only must they not contain the presenters' names, affiliations or addresses, but they must avoid any other information that might reveal their author(s).

They should not exceed 500 words (including examples, but excluding bibliographical references).

Submission deadlines and details

Abstracts must be submitted via EasyChair, no later than April 20, 2024.

Each submission is subject to three reviews. Abstracts submitted for the general session will be evaluated by three members of the Scientific Committee. Abstracts submitted for workshops will be assessed by two members of the Scientific Committee and (one of) the workshop organizer(s).
