Dear all,

We are now inviting abstract submissions for our conference Proto-Indo-European Reconstruction: Problems, possibilities & new perspectives, which will take place in Cambridge on 1-2nd Oct 2020. Please see our website www.pier-cam-2020.org for further details.

We invite papers and posters on any aspect of PIE linguistic reconstruction, including—but not limited to—phonological, morphological and syntactic elements. Presentations can span from more data-focused analyses to broader, theoretical questions that push the boundaries of the methodologies we have employed so far. This broad spectrum of topics will allow different areas of research to be included, while maintaining a focus on the central importance of linguistic reconstruction in IE studies.

Papers will be 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes of discussion (30 mins total).

Posters should be of standard (A0) size. Please include in your abstract whether you expect your poster to be portrait or landscape. This will not affect our decision on its acceptance and you may let the organisers know if you wish to change the orientation a later stage.

If you wish to present something at this conference, please submit an abstract of up to 500 words, (not including bibliography) in PDF to pier.cam2020@gmail.com. Please specify whether you wish to be considered for either a paper or a poster or both.

The deadline for abstract submission is March 10th 2020. Your abstract should also include your name, email and institutional affiliation (if any). We will aim to notify you of our decision within a month of the deadline.

We look forward to hearing from you!
