Meeting Description:

Ever since its creation, nine years ago, the ED268 Young Researchers’Meetings, at Sorbonne Nouvelle University, offers young graduates in thefield of linguistics and language teaching a possibility to introduce theirwork in a context that favours the exchange of ideas.

The subject for this year is: Norms, variations, identity, otherness.

Call for papers

These four notions are often encountered by researchers within the realm ofHumanities., and they seem to represent a particular feature within thedomain of linguistics, as they often introduce fundamental questions such as:

- Is it possible to consider a norm -or norms-, within the field oflinguistics?- What is the scope of these notions in terms of the scientificmethodologies in Humanities?- What kind of interaction can be considered between norms and theirspecific applications?- Is it possible to consider variation without referring it to a norm? Isit possible to consider otherness without confronting it with a specificidentity?

Papers will either explore epistemological perspectives or analyse a corpusor set of corpora. The meeting aims to confront different theoreticalstandpoints, in order to establish a dialogue between the different parts:discourse analysis, interaction analysis, language teaching, phonetics andphonology, natural language processing, sociolinguistics, morpho-syntax,corpus linguistics, descriptive linguistics, semantics, lexicology,lexicography, and any other domains of research within the realm oflinguistics.Two formats will be accepted: oral presentations and posters. In eithercase, abstracts will be submitted to the scientific committee for examination.
