Linearising Constituents Across Domains 2020 will be the final conference in the long succession of the Across Barriers/Across Borders Conferences continuing from Object Agreement Across Barriers 2019 (Zagreb), Resolving Conflicts Across Borders 2017 (Dubrovnik), Ellipsis Across Borders 2016 (Sarajevo) and Agreement Across Borders 2015 (Zadar) that preceded it, following the tradition of inviting researchers to surpass theoretical, empirical, experimental and modality barriers in their understanding and modelling of linguistic phenomena.
LCAD2020 conference is organised as part of the UCL-hosted Leverhulme project Agreement Mismatches in Experimental Syntax: from Slavic to Bantu, this time in collaboration with the University of Nova Gorica and the Bled Institute. Agreement Mismatches in Experimental Syntax: from Slavic to Bantu studies the patterns of gender agreement and their interaction with linear order, in coordination, with a uniform methodology in six locations across the South Slavic area and three locations across South Africa to enrich, strengthen and reinforce the comparative analysis of two typologically unrelated language families by means of experimental methodology.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Download Conference Poster & Spread the Word!” style=”flat” shape=”square” color=”black” size=”sm” align=”center” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-cloud-download” css_animation=”bottom-to-top” add_icon=”true” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fbled.institute%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F10%2Flcad_poster.pdf|title:Conference%20Poster%20(A4)|”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion shape=”square” c_icon=”triangle” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-graduation-cap” add_icon=”true” title=”Invited Speakers” tab_id=”1571244030331-37136314-48f0″][vc_column_text]Five prominent invited speakers will represent their research on linearisation from across theoretical and experimental domains.[/vc_column_text][lab_clients columns_count=”5″ column_spacing=”yes” image_borders=”no” reveal_effect=”none” img_size=”large” height=”200″][lab_clients_entry image=”4749″ title=”Nancy Kula” description=”University of Essex”][lab_clients_entry image=”4746″ title=”Diogo Almeida” description=”NYU Abu Dhabi”][lab_clients_entry image=”4797″ title=”Caterina Donati” description=”Université Paris Diderot-Paris 7, LLF, CNRS”][lab_clients_entry image=”4750″ title=”Barbara Citko” description=”University of Washington”][/lab_clients][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-microphone” add_icon=”true” title=”Call for Papers” tab_id=”1571244030331-dcc371c3-e787″][vc_column_text]LCAD2020 conference is hoping to highlight the interconnectivity of contributions from varying perspectives, as the theme refers not only to linguistic domains (e.g. clauses, noun phrases, prosodic domains, tonal domains) but also across disciplinary domains (e.g. Slavicists, Bantuists, researchers in bilingualism and multilingualism, sign language researchers) that bring theoretical excellence and new empirical input to a part of the language map famous for its linear (conjunct) agreement. Considering the extent of the tradition and layering of the topic, the conference invites clearly written and theoretically innovative submissions for talks, with the potential to have an empirical and experimental impact on furthering our understanding of linearising linguistic elements in all areas of theoretical linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics – across any theory), comparative linguistics, typological linguistics, bilingualism and multilingualism, sign language, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, language acquisition, and clinical linguistics.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Abstract Submission” style=”classic” shape=”square” color=”black” size=”lg” align=”center” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-paper-plane” button_block=”true” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Feasychair.org%2Fmy%2Fconference%3Fconf%3Dlcad2020|title:Submit%20your%20abstract%20here!|target:%20_blank”][vc_text_separator title=”Topics (including but not restricted to)” color=”black” el_class=”h4″][vc_message message_box_color=”black” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-check”]
- Locus and timing of linearisation (e.g. linearisation of constituent or phrasal domains)
- Word order (e.g. rigidity of head-initial and head-final categories and languages, non-mixed and mixed word order languages, information structure)
- Cross-modular operations (e.g. shape preservation, roll-up, ellipsis, post-syntactic linear agreement)
- LF interface (e.g. copies, multiple-spell out, multi-dominance)
- PF interface (e.g. tonal alignment, metathesis, reduplication)
- Theoretical predictions and existing data gaps.

There are two airports less than an hour away:
- Ljubljana airport (25 mins)
- Klagenfurt airport (55 mins)
There are shuttles and buses that operate from the airport, as well as rail connection from Ljubljana. For more information, see Getting to Bled.
We are happy to advise further and plan your journey over — feel free to write to us on lcad@bled.institute. We will have a team of locals who will also be able to help personally.[/vc_message][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”Organised by” color=”black”][lab_clients columns_count=”3″][lab_clients_entry image=”4777″ title=”University College London”][lab_clients_entry image=”4752″ title=”University of Nova Gorica”][lab_clients_entry image=”4691″ title=”Bled Institute”][/lab_clients][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]
