All proposals (for workshops, papers, or posters) concerned with the history, epistemology or historiographical problems of the language sciences are welcome.

We encourage proposals for the organisation of thematic workshops, whether open or closed. These must be sent to the organizing committee before June 30 2016; notification of accepted proposals will be made on July 29 2016 and the topics of open workshops will be advertised on the conference website.

Other proposals (for papers or posters) must be submitted no later than October 1 2016. Notification of accepted proposals will be made on March 1 2017.

Proposals (consisting of a description of a maximum of 400 words, including bibliography) are to be submitted on the conference website (https://ichols14.sciencesconf.org) via a personal space (see €˜How to submit a proposal€™ below).

Proposals are chosen by an international scientific committee (https://ichols14.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/6), with the exception of the open workshops, proposals for which are evaluated by the workshop organiser.
