Meeting Description:
The School of English at Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland, is pleased to announce the 11th Medieval English Studies Symposium.
The Symposium has continuously served as a platform for discussion to researchers interested in various aspects of the history of the English language. It hosts sessions devoted to the history of the English language in what is broadly understood as the Middle Ages, dealing with a variety of linguistic sub-fields encouraging formal, functional or sociolinguistic perspectives.
There are two plenary lectures planned. Our guest plenary speakers this year include Prof. Andeas H. Jucker from Univeraität Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland, speaking on 'Politeness and impoliteness in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' and Prof. Piotr Gąsiorowski from Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland, who will talk about 'The secret life of the lexicon: Middle English words with no etymology'.
The organisers intend a number of sessions for individual presenters.
The working language of the conference is English.

We encourage submissions pertaining to all areas of historical linguistic research within the broadly understood medieval English period.

Unfortunately, we may host only a limited number of section papers, thus abstracts will be reviewed and selected by the organising committee. Authors will be notified of acceptance by 1 September 2012.
30 min slots (20 min paper + 10 min discussion) will be available for each speaker. The conference venue will be equipped with a laptop and OHP for your convenience. If you would like to use a handout please send it to us in advance, so that we can provide a number of copies for the participants.
Participants without papers are also cordially welcome.
