Original Conference Posting:
The Department of Romance Studies of the University of Vienna is happy to announce that the workshop ‘Empirical Research on Portuguese’ will take place at the University of Vienna on 07-08 May 2020. In recent years, empirical questions are becoming more and more central in many areas of linguistic research. The empirical testing of theoretical predictions and the empirical deduction of hypotheses are no longer merely a possibility, they are starting to become a necessity. This is no longer only true for empirically oriented fields, even in theories that traditionally relied on introspection, the trend of taking methodological and empirical questions in consideration is gathering pace. This development offers great potential but also confronts us linguists with new challenges.
The aim of the workshop is to put a focus on empirical approaches to the study of Portuguese. The goals are to address the advantages and disadvantages of established empirical methods and to discuss how Portuguese linguistics can profit from the combination of methods and other novel approaches that up until today have not been used extensively for the study of this language. The workshop will feature talks on topics ranging from corpus to experimental linguistics by the following speakers:
Ernestina Carrilho (Universidade de Lisboa)
Ana Maria Martins (Universidade de Lisboa)
Alina Villalva (Universidade de Lisboa)
Albert Wall (Universität Zürich)
Carmen Widera (Universität Konstanz)
