Ninth International Workshop on Writing Systems
and Literacy
Brighton, UK, September 4th-5th 2014
University of Sussex
This workshop is the ninth in a series of
international meetings devoted to the issue of
writing systems. The writing systems workshops
have offered a forum for discussion between
researchers from a range of different countries
and linguistic backgrounds, working in a
variety of fields of writing research such as
theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics,
computational linguistics and language
education.
Earlier themes included ‘What Spelling Changes’
(1997), ‘Writing Language’ (2000), ‘From Letter
to Sound’ (2002), ‘Mapping graphemes onto
phonemes’ (2004), ‘Constraints on Spelling
Changes’ (2006), ‘Typology of Writing Systems’
(2008), ‘Units of Language - Units of Writing’
(2010) and ‘The Architecture of Writing
Systems’ (2012). Previous meetings were held in
Nijmegen (The Netherlands), Cologne (Germany),
Antwerp (Belgium) and Braunschweig (Germany).
This ninth workshop will take place in Brighton
(UK).
Invited Speakers:
Viorica Marian (Department of Communication
Sciences and Disorders, Northwestern
University); Boris New (Laboratoire de
Psychologie et Neurocognition, Université de
Savoire).
Program Committee:
Lynne Cahill (School of English, University of
Sussex), Anneke Neijt (Dutch Department,
University of Nijmegen), Beatrice Primus
(German Department, University of Cologne),
Terry Joyce (Tama University, Tokyo).
Participation:
Researchers who would like to attend the
workshop without presenting a paper are also
welcome. Registration details will be available
nearer the date of the workshop. The workshop
program and the abstracts of the accepted
papers, along with travel and accommodation
information will be circulated electronically
well before the workshop.
2nd Call for Papers:
The focus of this 9th workshop is the use of
databases and lexicons. Especially welcome are
contributions on the following questions:
- What kind of orthographic information is
available in databases?
- In what ways can mono- and crosslingual
information be incorporated?
- To what extent can rule-based information be
employed in lexicons and/or databases?
- How can the relationship between orthography
and phonology be represented in
databases/lexicons?
- What practical purposes (e.g. computational,
pedagogic, lexicographic) can be served by
databases/lexicons?
