XIX CONFERENCE OF THE ASSOCIATION OF YOUNG LINGUISTS
(FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS)
http://www.uv.es/ajl
Dear all,
The Association of Young Linguists (AJL) is pleased to invite you to the XIX
Conference of the Association of Young Linguists that will be held on the
10th, 11th and 12th April 2004 in the Facultat de Filologia of the
University of Valencia, Spain.
The Association of Young Linguists was founded in Barcelona in 1992. Its
members are PhD students and researchers, and those working in Faculties of
Philology in Spain or abroad, devoted to the study of language and
linguistics and related disciplines. According to the standing rules of the
AJL, our aims are:
1. To foster the study and research on linguistics and stimulate
communication and cooperation between young scholars in this discipline.
2. To promote the acknowledgement of linguistics as an autonomous
discipline.
3. To cooperate in publishing current research papers and projects by means
of scientific meetings, conferences, publications and other initiatives.
4. To enhance cultural exchange by encouraging linguistic research in
different languages.
From 1992 onwards, the AJL has gathered yearly in several universities in
Spain in order to hold its conferences, in which the members of the
Association have delivered short papers about their research findings and
results. The conference is formally closed with a general meeting where
several matters regarding the association are discussed, including the site
of the following AJL conference.
The sites of the former 17 conferences were the following: From 1992-1997
the conferences were held each term at a different location: University of
Barcelona and Santiago (1992), University of Oviedo and Valhncia (1993),
University of Murcia and Autsnoma de Madrid (1994), Autsnoma de Barcelona
and Euskal Erriko (1995), University of Coruqa and Lesn (1996), Complutense
of Madrid and Jain (1997). From 1998-2001 the conferences were held
annually: University of Salamanca (1998), university of Extremadura (1999),
University of Sevilla (2000), University of Huelva (2001) and University of
Alicante (2002).
As in the previous conferences, papers are welcomed. Each paper will consist
of the presentation of a research field for 20 minutes followed by a
10-minute discussion. If you are interested in delivering a paper, please
consider the following indications:
a) The papers should be as accessible and pedagogic as possible due to the
heterogeneous audience expected. Please remember that there will be students
that might not be familiar with your theoretical bases.
b) Speakers are recommended to avoid the overuse of examples as it prevents
the general understanding of the exposition.
c) Literature references should be included not only in the oral exposition
but also in the handout given to the audience.
d) Speakers should not forget that the amount of information given has to be
proportional to the time (20 minutes).
