Meeting Description:

ConCALL was established in Spring 2014 as a professional development conference for linguists and language educators specializing in the languages of the Central Asian region, including both the Altaic and Eastern Indo-European languages spoken in the region, a diverse range of languages such as Azerbaijani, Dari, Kazakh, Mongolian, Pashto, Persian, Tajiki, Tibetan, Turkish, Tuvan, Uyghur, Uzbek, and more!

The main goal of ConCALL-2 is to bring together professionals across the fields to focus on research into how these specific languages are represented formally, as well as acquired by second/foreign language learners and also to present research driven teaching methods.

This year’s theme is “Continuing the Journey: Strengthening the Central Asian Language Community”.

This spring, the Center for Languages of the Central Asian Region (CeLCAR) will be hosting the second Conference of Central Asian Language and Linguistics (ConCALL) at Indiana University 7-9 October, 2016.

We are now accepting submissions for 20-minute paper presentations (with 10 minutes for questions and discussion) or poster presentations on topics related to Central Asian languages and linguistics within the conference theme: “Continuing the Journey: Strengthening the Central Asian Language Community.”

Presenters will have the opportunity to submit to the published proceedings of the conference. (Please feel free to view the 2014 Proceedings: http://www.iub.edu/~celcar/ConCALL2014/proceedings.html)

Submissions can include, but are not limited to:

Formal linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics, as well as their interfaces)
Acquisition (first and second language acquisition)
Language education/pedagogy, as related to Central Asian languages

Submissions should be uploads as a .pdf via EasyAbs (http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/ConCALL2016) by the deadline of Friday, 3 June, 2015. Each .pdf submission should include the following details:
