italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Italian Linguistics in the UK:
Traditions, Challenges, Perspectives.
Department of Italian Studies, University of Reading,
11th June 2010
Italian linguistics has recently been reintroduced at the University of
Reading with the appointment of a permanent lecturer, and it is again one
of the core disciplines in the Department of Italian Studies, at both
undergraduate and postgraduate level. Italian at Reading is keen to develop
collaborative links with scholars in the field of Italian linguistics, and
with teachers of Italian language and culture throughout the UK. To this
end, the Department of Italian Studies is organizing a one-day meeting
aimed at bringing together scholars and researchers in Italian linguistics
who carry out their work predominantly in the UK, and professionals who
benefit from the teaching of Italian linguistics in higher education. The
meeting is an opportunity for established academics and young researchers
from all over the UK to present their latest research in the various areas
of Italian linguistics, and for professionals to share their experience
regarding the importance of teaching Italian linguistics at academic level.
The interchange between both aspects of Italian linguistics, namely,
academic and professional, has the ultimate goal of fostering an
interdisciplinary dialogue, and of developing into long-lasting and
fruitful collaborations.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Authors are invited to submit papers reflecting their current research in
one of the areas of Italian linguistics (e.g., syntax, morphology,
semantics, semiotics, phonology, dialectology, and history of the Italian
language). In addition, a special session of the meeting will be devoted to
papers on methods and techniques for teaching Italian linguistics at
academic level. All papers will include a 20-minute talk and a 10-minute
discussion. Abstracts should be a maximum of 300 words and one page in
length (including examples and bibliography). Abstracts should be sent to
Dr. Federico Faloppa at [log in to unmask] no later than 31st March
2010. Authors will receive notification by 14th April 2010.
