[Histling-l] Section on Historical Linguistics at ICL 21 (Poznań, 8-14 September 2024)

[John Charles Smith]

Dear Colleagues,

The 21st International Congress of Linguists (ICL) will be held from 8 to 14 September 2024 in Poznań, Poland.  On the Monday and Tuesday (9-10 September), I am convening a section on Historical Linguistics, which will aim to reflect the current strengths and preoccupations of the discipline.  Abstracts are invited for papers on any aspect of language change, including, but not limited to, structural change (changes in phonology, morphology, and syntax); semantic and pragmatic change; language contact; cladistics; sociolinguistic factors in change; and language acquisition and change.  Papers will be especially welcome on new and recent developments in the study of language change, including the use of large-scale corpora and artificial intelligence.

Abstracts should clearly state the research question(s) addressed, together with the approach, methods, data, and (known or expected) results.  They should not contain the names of the authors, nor their affiliations or addresses, nor any other information by which they could be identified.  They should provide a title, five keywords, and between 300 and 400 words of text (including examples, but excluding references).

Abstracts should be submitted via Easychair (a link will shortly be provided on the Congress web site, at https://icl2024poznan.pl/ ).  The deadline for abstract submission is 8 January 2024 (12.00 PM CET).

When submitting an abstract, authors may specify a paper or a poster.  Papers will be organized in 30-minute slots (20 minutes for presentation, 7 minutes for discussion, 3 minutes for room change).  Posters will be displayed for one full day.  Separate time slots will be included in the programme during which participants can discuss posters with their authors.

Each abstract will be refereed anonymously by two reviewers.  Notification of acceptance will be sent by 15 April 2024.

Further information can be found on the ICL web site, at:

and on the CIPL web site, at:

I look forward to seeing many of you in Poznań.

With all good wishes,

John Charles Smith
