THE DUTCH ANNUAL LINGUISTICS DAY: CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

The Dutch Annual Linguistics Day (Grote Taaldag, 2 February 2024)

The Dutch Annual Linguistics Day is a joint initiative of the Dutch Linguistic Society (AVT), the Dutch Society for Applied Linguistics (Anéla) and the Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics (LOT). Traditionally, the Dutch Annual Linguistics Day is a day during which we meet up with all our colleagues from the Netherlands and Flanders and inform each other about current research in (applied) linguistics.

The next Dutch Annual Linguistics Day will be held on Friday 2 February 2024 at Utrecht University (Drift 21 and Drift 25). We will organize a very varied program with lectures, coffee breaks, the Language Gala, and an inspiring keynote duo presentation about ‘multilingualism in educational settings’. As usual, the AVT/Anéla dissertation prize and the LOT popularization prize will be awarded at the end of the day, during the Language Gala. This year, special attention will also be paid to the winners of the LOT Big Questions Award, as well as to Nota Bene, AVT’s and BKL’s (Belgian Circle for Linguistics) brand new journal.

Submit abstract for a presentation

If you are an AVT or Anéla member and if you wish to give a presentation at the Dutch Annual Linguistics Day, you can submit an abstract of up to 170 words via the AVT website up till Friday 8 December 2023.

  • If you want to present in English, you can indicate this with an English title and summary instead of a Dutch one.
  • You are allowed to submit a maximum of 2 abstracts (1 as first author, 1 as co-author).

If you do not receive an online confirmation of your abstract submission, please contact Jenneke van der Wal (g.j.van.der.wal@hum.leidenuniv.nl).The program booklet (including abstracts) will appear on the AVT website  in January and will be sent by e-mail to all registered participants (at that time) and to all AVT and Anéla members.

PUBLICATIONS

After the Dutch Annual Linguistics Day, AVT members can submit a written version of their presentation for Nota Bene, a brand new, international and peer-reviewed journal published by John Benjamins. Nota Bene has a short publication process: each journal issue will be published no longer than six months after completion of the review procedure. An advantage is that an issue is accessible as open access via John Benjamins’ website two years after its publication.

Anéla members can submit a written version of their presentation for The Dutch Journal of Applied Linguistics (Dujal, fully open access).

We are already looking forward to your contribution(s)!
