Call for papers

Abstracts are solicited for 30-minute presentations (plus discussion) that make a contribution to our understanding of the structure of Hungarian and linguistic theory, including any synchronic or diachronic aspect of syntax and morphology, phonology and phonetics, semantics and pragmatics, as well as their interfaces. Both theoretically and empirically oriented submissions are welcome, including experimental, psycholinguistic and corpus-linguistic treatments of linguistic issues of theoretical relevance. Submissions that analyze Hungarian data from a comparative cross-linguistic perspective are particularly encouraged.

Maximally two-page abstracts including examples/illustrations and references (with one-inch/2.5cm margins all around, in a font no smaller than 12pt) should be submitted in anonymized pdf format via EasyChair:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsh15

One person is allowed to submit a maximum of two abstracts: one as a sole author or co-author, and another one as a co-author.

Uploaded abstracts can be freely replaced by a revised version until the extended deadline.

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 10 April 2021
Extended deadline for submission: 20 April 2021
Notification of acceptance: middle of June 2021

Conference registration fee: 14.000 Ft [ca. 40 euros] (which includes registration for the Uralic Workshop, and a conference dinner/reception)
Special registration fee for students and unemployed: 7.000 Ft
[ca. 20 euros]

We are not able to reduce or cancel the registration fee in case someone decides to give an online talk, but the fee will be reconsidered in early June if we are forced to organize the whole event online.

Workshop on the Structure of Uralic Languages

We are pleased to announce the Workshop on the Structure of Uralic Languages (WSUL), to be held at the University of Pécs, Hungary, on 27 August 2021. The event provides a forum to discuss new results in the analysis of syntactic, phonological, or semantic phenomena in Uralic languages.

Call for papers for WSUL:
We invite abstracts for 30-minute presentations (excluding Q&A) that present new results in the syntax, phonology and semantics/pragmatics of one or several Uralic languages (whether analyzed on their own, or in comparison to one or more languages outside the Uralic family). We welcome abstracts conceived in any linguistic framework, but work adopting a formal approach will be given preference.
Abstracts, set in a 12-point font with standard margins on all sides, must not exceed two pages including data and references, and must not contain any information identifying the author(s). Submissions are limited to one individual and one joint abstract per author, or two joint abstracts per author. The link for abstract submission is:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wsul1

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 25th April 2021
Notification of acceptance: middle of June 2021

Registration Fee of the Uralic Workshop (without ICSH): 7.000 Ft
[ca. 20 euros]
