37th ANNUAL MEETING OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS

The Department of Linguistics, School of Philology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, is pleased to announce its 37th Annual Meeting to be held in Thessaloniki on May 12-14, 2016. We invite contributions on any field of Linguistics.

Moreover, two thematic workshops will be organized:
(a) Linguistics in Language Teaching and Clinical Research. Abstracts are welcome in linguistic studies that explore (i) first and second/foreign language teaching and (ii) clinical interventions for individuals with language disorders.
(b) Computational models and their applications in language technology. Abstracts are welcome in studies that focus on formal linguistic models, such as Dynamic Syntax, Lexical Functional Grammar and Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, as well as on their exploitation for various language technology applications, e.g. machine translation, information extraction etc. 

Those who wish to participate in the 37th Annual Meeting with a presentation are invited to submit two copies of their abstracts (one anonymous and one signed) to amgl37@lit.auth.gr by the 14th of February 2016. Notification of acceptance will be sent on the 29th of February 2016. Your abstract should be submitted electronically as a pdf file. The anonymous copy should be free of self-citations. The name “Author” with the publication date of the article can be used instead.
