ISOCTAL-3: Third International Symposium on Chinese Theoretical and Applied Linguistics Department of Asian Studies, School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, University College Cork Cork, Ireland, December 12-14, 2019 |
Submission link | https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isoctal3 |
Submission deadline | July 30, 2019 |
ISOCTAL aims to promote worldwide collaboration on Chinese theoretical and applied linguistics by giving researchers an opportunity to share their work.
Submission Guidelines
Papers are invited for ISOCTAL-3 on any topics in Chinese linguistics – understood broadly as covering all Sinitic languages – including syntax, morphology, phonetics and phonology, semantics, language variation and sociolinguistic studies, diachronic change, language contact, typology and comparative studies, child language acquisition, second language acquisition and teaching, applications of translation and code-switching to pedagogy.
There will also be two thematic sessions, namely, on modality and on the acquisition of Chinese at post-primary level.
Talks will be 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for discussion and questions. Poster presentations are also welcome (if you wish to present a poster rather than an oral presentation, you must specify this on the abstract). Each author is limited to the submission of TWO ABSTRACTS as the first author or co-author. Anonymized abstracts (max. 450 words, excluding references) should be uploaded in PDF format to Easychair.
