About ICAL

ICAL2016 @HCMC is an international conference organized jointly by the Institute of Linguistics, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, and Nguyen Tat Thanh University. With more than 30 years of tradition in teaching and researching languages and cultures of Asia, we wish to bring together researchers working in various subfields of Asian linguistics. Our goal is to inquire how theoretical research can be complemented by empirically oriented studies. In particular, we welcome contributions from the following areas, as well as thematic session proposals.

  • Semantics
  • Pragmatics
  • Descriptive/field linguistics
  • Corpus linguistics
  • Dialectology and language change
  • Applied linguistics
  • Natural language processing

Abstract submission
The language of the conference is English. We invite anonymous abstracts (one page A4) for 20-minute oral presentations and the poster session. Each contribution should be submitted electronically as a pdf file through EasyChair:
