Meeting
Description:
The workshop aims to bring together scholars working on gender
from the fields of morphosyntax, semantics, psycholinguistics, and language
acquisition. There is a substantial body of experimental and theoretical work on
gender, the most recent of which highlights the need to increase the depth of the
research. By doing so, a more comprehensive understanding can be achieved of how
gender is represented, processed, acquired, and developed. Moreover, further insight
can be gained into how gender interacts with different grammatical and linguistic
features as well as with other cognitive components. Cross-linguistic evidence and
experimental approaches can significantly advance the study of gender by leading to
a better articulated syntactic representation and, consequently, a more qualified
theory of language processing as well as of L1/L2 acquisition.

2nd Call
for Papers:
The deadline for submissions has been extended to 7 March 2018.
The workshop ''Theoretical and Experimental Approaches to Gender'' (ThEGen)
encourages submissions pertaining to the overall understanding of the grammatical
category of gender. We aim to address theoretical as well as psycholinguistic
research on the topic and intend for the workshop to promote further study of the
analysis/representation, processing, and mono/bi-lingual acquisition of gender. As
such, we welcome abstracts which deal with the evaluation of theories testing
specific hypotheses in the relevant fields.
Domains: morphosyntax,
semantics, language processing, linguistic typology, L1/L2 acquisition, bilingualism
Abstract guidelines:
Abstracts may be submitted for an oral
presentation of 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes discussion, or the poster session
