About the conference
The 12th International Conference on General Linguistics (CILG2016) will be held at the
University of Alcalá from 24 – 26 May, 2016. This is the next in the series of
conferences which began in Valencia (1994) and subsequently continued in the cities
of Granada (1996), Salamanca (1998), Cádiz (2000), León (2002), Santiago de
Compostela (2004), Barcelona (2006), Madrid (2008), Valladolid (2010), Zaragoza
(2012) and Pamplona (2014).
In the centenary year of the publication of the Cours de linguistique générale by the
Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure, the CILG2016 seeks to be the forum in which
scholars specialising in language and languages may present their research to the
scientific community. By means of different types of session, linguists will have the
opportunity to show those linguistic studies being carried out from their theoretical
perspective; to attend plenary lectures by prestigious researchers; to participate in
round tables on current issues: to exchange experiences with other participants; and,
of course, to visit the city of Alcalá de Henares, a UNESCO World Heritage city since
1998.
How to participate
The CILG2016 is organising the following types of session:
1. Papers
Papers presented at the CILG2016 will be grouped in the following sections:
S1. Phonetics and Phonology
S2. Morphology
S3. Syntax
S4. Lexicology
S5. Semantics
S6. Discourse and conversation analysis
S7. Pragmatics
S8. Dialectology and Sociolinguistics
S9. Cognitive linguistics
S10. Historical linguistics
S11. Applied linguistics
S12. Linguistic theory and Linguistic historiography
As far as possible, the papers included in each section will be grouped in blocks
according to topic in order to create a favourable context for the presentation and the
participation of those in attendance.
2. Presentation of thematic networks
The CILG2016 will offer the possibility of informing about national and international
thematic networks formed by research teams whose scientific activity falls within the
field of Linguistics.
3. Presentation of research projects
The CILG2016 will accept recent and consolidated group investigation projects
which analyse questions concerning languages and language.
4. Presentation of research plans
In the CILG2016, those studying for doctorates in Linguistics and related specialities
may present their research plans and thesis proposals in poster form.
