Going Romance 2019 | Call for Papers

May 21, 2019
University of Leiden

Call for Papers

The Leiden University Center for Linguistics (LUCL) will organise the ‘Going Romance 2019’ conference series on November 28 – 29, 2019. Invited speakers include Heather Burnett (CNRS – UMR 7110, Université Paris Diderot-Paris 7), João Costa (Universidade Nova de Lisboa) and Caterina Donati (CNRS – UMR 7110, Université Paris Diderot-Paris 7).

Going Romance is the European conference series that focuses on Romance languages from the perspective of current linguistic theorising. In the quarter of a century of its existence, it has developed into the major European discussion forum for theoretically relevant research on Romance languages.

Main session, November 28 – 29

The scope of the conference series lies at the intersection of linguistic theory with data from the Romance languages. Beyond this general tenet, there are no specific requirements as to the topic, the subdiscipline, the approach or the methodology, as long as it is clear how the Romance data contribute to linguistic theories of human language.

Special session ‘Gender in Romance’, November 29, 14.00 – 17.30h.

In addition to the main session, there will be a special session. This workshop aims at a discussion of various aspects of gender in Romance, including but not limited to the following topics:

  • Social meaning of gender and gender conflicts
  • Syntax and semantics of gender and gender agreement
  • Gender and linguistic variation (geographical, historical, social)
  • Gender and first and second language acquisition
  • Gender in bi/multilingual scenarios
  • Psycholinguistic aspects of gender

Submission Guidelines

Abstracts should be anonymous and no longer than two pages A4, including references and examples, with margins of at least 2,5 cm, font size 12, single-spaced. The file should be anonymous both in the body of the text and in the filename. Please make sure all fonts and figures are correctly rendered. Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint abstract per author for the entire 2 day-event. Please indicate in your submission whether your abstract should be considered for the main session, or for the special session on gender in Romance. Please also indicate whether your paper is to be considered for oral or poster presentation. Abstracts not conforming to these requirements will not be taken into consideration. The abstracts should be submitted in PDF format through EasyAbs no later than July 20, 2019. Abstracts can be submitted through the Going Romance Call for Papers website.

Scientific mission of LOT

The aim of LOT is to create a scientific community in which this research can be optimally pursued, and to educate the next generation of researchers with an open mind toward new disciplinary and interdisciplinary developments, theoretical and methodological alternatives, and possible applications.

LOT stimulates new initiatives and developments in research, and provides a national forum to further communication between the participating institutes with a view to short- and long-term collaboration.

LOT School Series

LOT was officially established in June 1994 by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. The LOT school series soon acquired an international reputation as a result of inviting well-known linguists to teach at the schools.

The research by the LOT institutes covers all major areas of linguistics, and exploits a wide range of methodological tools and theoretical frameworks.
