Submission deadline | January 15, 2022 |
The conference is the next in the DSSL series bringing together linguists interested in the empirically based research on the historical development of Slavic languages. The conference focuses on the development of Slavic functional words and their syntactic, semantic, pragmatic or communicative function, be it deictics, auxiliaries, relatives, conjunctions, prepositions, particles, sentential adverbs, etc. We particularly welcome contributions discussing functional words from the perspective of:
- language change
- language variation
- comparison of their development in two (or more) Slavic languages (or Slavic with non-Slavic)
- language contact
- their Proto-Slavic reconstruction
Papers based on the analysis of historical sources or diachronic corpora are preferred. The organizers expect that the conference will be a place to discuss the historical phenomena from different methodological perspectives.
The conference language is English.
Abstracts may not exceed one A4 page (Times New Roman font, size 12, line spacing 1.5; 2,5 margins on all sides). An additional page might be used for references.
Papers will be selected based on peer double blind review (two anonymous external reviews). The final selection of papers remains the responsibility of the organizers.
Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format by Dec 15 31 via Easychair
