Emerging Topics in Typology (ETT) 2024
June 10–12, 2024

The field of linguistic typology is constantly evolving, driven in part by the work of young researchers. Following on from the success of the 2021 workshop series, Emerging Topics in Typology (ETT), a conference by and for PhD students in diversity linguistics, returns for a second edition in the form of a 3-day conference from June 10th to 12th 2024. The conference will be hosted by Stockholm University in a fully hybrid mode.

We welcome abstracts from current PhD students on a range of topics in diversity linguistics (quantitative and qualitative typology, language documentation and description). Abstracts should be a maximum of 500 words (excluding references). Additional examples and figures (up to one A4 page total) may also be included. Abstracts should demonstrate a link to typological and/or descriptive themes. The abstracts should be submitted via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ett2024) by January 31, 2024. Notification of acceptance will be sent out by March 31, 2024.
