The Young Linguists Association (AJL) is pleased to invite you to the XIX Conference of the Young Linguists that will be held on the 10th, 11th and 12th March 2004 at the Facultat de Filologia of the University of Valencia, Spain.
The Young Linguists Association was founded in Barcelona in 1992. Its members are PhD students and researchers, and those working in Faculties of Philology in Spain or abroad, devoted to the study of language and linguistics and related disciplines. According to the standing rules of the AJL, our aims are:
- To foster the study and research on linguistics and stimulate communication and cooperation between young scholars in this discipline.
- To promote the acknowledgement of linguistics as an autonomous discipline.
- To cooperate in publishing current research papers and projects by means of scientific meetings, conferences, publications and other initiatives.
- To enhance cultural exchange by encouraging linguistic research in different languages.
From 1992 onwards, the AJL has gathered yearly in several universities in Spain in order to hold its conferences, in which the members of the Association have delivered short papers about their research findings and results. The conference is formally closed with a general meeting in which several issues regarding the association are discussed, including the site of the following AJL conference.
The sites of the former 17 conferences were the following: From 1992-1997 the conferences were held each term at a different location: University of Barcelona and Santiago (1992), University of Oviedo and València (1993), University of Murcia and Autónoma de Madrid (1994), Autónoma de Barcelona and Euskal Erriko (1995), University of Coruña and León (1996), Complutense of Madrid and Jaén (1997). From 1998-2001 the conferences were held annually: University of Salamanca (1998), university of Extremadura (1999), University of Sevilla (2000), University of Huelva (2001) and University of Alicante (2002).
As in the previous conferences, papers are welcome. Each paper will consist of the presentation of a research field for 20 minutes followed by a 10-minute discussion. If you are interested in delivering a paper, please consider the following indications:
- The papers should be as accessible and pedagogic as possible due to the heterogeneous audience expected. Please remember that there will be students that might not be familiar with your theoretical bases.
- Speakers are recommended to avoid the overuse of examples as it prevents the general understanding of the exposition.
- Literature references should be included not only in the oral exposition but also in the handout given to the audience.
- Speakers should not forget that the amount of information given has to be proportional to the time (20 minutes).
