The First Theoretical and Experimental Linguistics Workshop

The Theoretical and Experimental Linguistics Research Group at Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary (KRE) is launching a new series of workshops. KRE-TEL-WS-2023 will be the first event in the series. The Workshop welcomes talks on theoretical or experimental research (and, ideally, even combinations of the two) in any area of linguistics and in any theoretical framework. One of the goals of the workshop is to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers working in these two main fields of linguistics.

There will be general and thematic sessions, and a poster session. The general and thematic sessions will involve 30-minute talks (25 min + 5 min discussion). Presentations can focus on results from completed as well as ongoing research. They should describe original, unpublished work.

THEMATIC SESSIONS

We are planning to organize the following thematic sessions (provided that a sufficient number of abstracts are accepted for an individual thematic session).

Agreement across categories
Bible as source texts for linguistic analysis
ChatGPT
Child language
Lexicology and lexicography
Multilingual grammars and code-switching
Normative standard language as target of interdisciplinary research
Partitives
The structure of DPs
Verbal categories (semantic classes, aspect, argument structure)

The convenor of an accepted thematic session is responsible for inviting abstract submissions to the session. Thematic session abstracts will undergo the same refereeing procedure as general session abstracts.
