Call for papers

Following our very successful 2023 gathering in Köln, the 11th edition of the European Australianist Workshop will take place on 3.-5. September, at the Forest Ecology station of the Université Paris-Cité in Fontainebleau, near Paris. The workshop will be held in association with the ‘Sentential Negation Across the Globe’ (SNAG) workshop, which will immediately follow EAW (5-6. September).

The European Australianist Workshop provides an opportunity for linguists working on (or interested in) Australian languages who live in or travel through Europe to present current research, discuss ideas, and generally consolidate the (already vibrant) European Australianist network. For this year’s edition, TAM, modality and negation will a topic of special interest, with a special session on 5. September. Josh Phillips (Stanford University) will be our keynote speaker for this ‘modality & negation’ session.

If you would like to give a talk this year, please send an abstract of up to 500 words (including examples, excluding references) to eaw2024@llf-paris.fr by Monday 10. June. The exact format of the presentations will be confirmed once the program has been established, but at this point we anticipate a 30+10 pattern.

We also encourage colleagues to attend the conference without giving a talk. If you would like to do so, please register by sending an email to eaw2024@llf-paris.fr – but places are limited, as the workshop cannot involve more than about 20 participants; therefore, the earlier you register, the better. Workshop participants can be hosted on site – about 15 rooms are available, some being shared rooms. Alternatively, you can also book a hotel room in Fontainebleau or Avon.
