    Fisrt International Workshop on Emergence and Evolution of Linguistic Communication

    31-May-2004 - 1-Jun-2004, Kanazawa Japan

    Scope Rules of natural languages such as usage, grammar, and vocabulary change diachronically dependent upon the social situations of the language community. This workshop focuses on those language phenomena concerning language changes and evolution, that is, emergence, pidginization, and creolization, from the viewpoints of social, evolutionary, computational linguistics. Thus, we expect that the workshop would contribute to the joint discussion among those who share this common interest.

    Topics Relevant themes include, but not limited to: Language change/ Language emergence/ Language acquisition/ Second language acquisition/ Multi-agent model of communication/ Lingua Franca/ Pidgin and creole/ and other computer simulation concerning language dynamics.

    Meeting Description:

    PALA, The Poetics and Linguistics Association (http://www.pala.ac.uk/), one of the oldest and most successful international organizations dedicated to the study of stylistics and related fields, is holding its 24th annual conference at New York University, July 25-28, 2004. The theme is ''Prospect & Retrospect,'' and the conference will focus on both old and new ''worlds'' of poetics and linguistics. We invite abstracts and proposals for panel discussions and workshops in the following and related areas of interest: stylistics, narratology, literariness, literary linguistics, stylistics and pedagogy, critical discourse analysis, gender and writing, literary translation studies, linguistics and philosophy, metaphor, cognition, cognitive poetics, pragmatics, text-linguistics, corpus linguistics, text world theory, corpus stylistics, and statistical stylistics. Our theme allows the first PALA conference in the "new world" to focus on both the old worlds and the new worlds of poetics and linguistics. We invite abstracts stylistics and pedagogy, critical discourse analysis, gender and writing, literary translation studies, linguistics and philosophy, metaphor, cognition, cognitive poetics, pragmatics, text-linguistics, corpus linguistics, text world theory, corpus stylistics, and statistical stylistics.

    There have been many innovations and revisions in methodology and approach in recent years, many of which are reflected in the list above. We are especially receptive to proposals that look forward toward the future prosing new methods or approaches, suggesting improvements in or confirming and expanding current methods or approaches, and to proposals that look backward toward the origins of the approaches used reevaluating, critiquing, revising, or rehabilitating the methods of the past. Also of interest will be papers that focus on novel forms such as hypertext fiction or on older languages and literatures.

    Abstracts for papers should be 300-500 words, and must include a title, the author's name, institutional affiliation, mailing address, email address, and any special equipment needed (overhead projectors will be available for all sessions). Abstracts for panel discussions and workshops should also be 300-500 words, and must include the same information as a paper abstract for both the organizer and each participant. Papers will be scheduled in strictly enforced 30 minute blocks within 90 minute or 120 minute sessions, to allow members of the audience to move from session to session between papers. Each paper should be 20 minutes long, reserving 10 minutes for questions, discussion, and moving from one room to another. Panel discussions or workshops can be scheduled for either 90 or 120 minutes. (A longer session may be possible by special request.)

    Abstracts must be sent by email to david.hoovernyu.edu
