The Forum for Research on the Languages of Scotland and Ulster will be holding its triennial conferences between 5 and 8 August 2015 at the University of the West of Scotland Ayr Campus. Keynote Speakers will include Professor Jeremy Smith (University of Glasgow) and Dr Warren Maguire (University of Edinburgh). Abstracts of no more than 250 words are invited. These should be sent to [email protected] by 31 March 2015. The papers proposed may deal with linguistic aspects of any of the languages spoken, signed or written in Scotland or the nine counties of Ulster in the past or today. All theoretical approaches (or none) are welcome. Comparative studies will be considered as will discussions of the use of language in literature. The conference fee will be £200 (£150 concession). This will include refreshments at breaks and lunch on all three days, as well as a drinks reception on the first evening. Day rates will also be available. There will also be a conference dinner; details of this will be made available closer to the time. A limited amount of accommodation will be available on campus.
