DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>1&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; </strong><strong>Overview</strong></p>\n<p>The organizing committee invites submissions of abstracts for a discussion-focused workshop on commitment\, with a particular emphasis on experimental approaches<strong> </strong>to its study. The workshop will take place on <strong>18&ndash\;19 June 2026</strong> at <strong>Radboud University\, Nijmegen</strong>.</p>\n<p>While commitment attribution\, negotiation\, and avoidance play a central role in communication\, its nuances remain difficult to operationalize and measure. The aim of this workshop is to explore how experimental methods - broadly construed - can contribute to and inform theoretical accounts of commitment. The workshop will include invited talks by Benjamin Weissman\, Mailin Antomo\, Manfred Krifka\, and Tatjana Scheffler\, alongside contributed presentations.</p>\n<p>We welcome abstracts related to commitment and experimental methodology\, including (but not limited to):</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Experimental studies of commitment in communication</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The pragmatics of commitment attribution and avoidance</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Methodological challenges in operationalizing commitment</p>\n<p>Interdisciplinary work drawing on linguistics\, philosophy\, psychology\, or related fields is especially encouraged.</p>\n<p>We welcome abstracts for oral presentation (approximately 20 minutes\, plus discussion).</p>\n<p><strong>2&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; </strong><strong>Submission Guidelines</strong></p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Abstract length: <strong>300&ndash\;500 words</strong></p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Format: <strong>PDF </strong></p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Abstracts should clearly state:</p>\n<p>o&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The research question or theoretical issue addressed</p>\n<p>o&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The experimental or methodological approach (where applicable)</p>\n<p>o&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Key findings or expected contributions</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Abstracts should be submitted via <strong>EasyAbs (LinguistList)</strong>: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/MCC/</p>\n<p><strong>3&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; </strong><strong>Important Dates</strong></p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Abstract submission deadline: <strong>31 March 2026</strong></p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Notification of acceptance: <strong>20 April 2026</strong></p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Registration deadline: <strong>31 May 2026</strong></p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Workshop dates: <strong>18&ndash\;19 June 2026</strong></p>\n<p><strong><br></strong></p>\n<p><strong>4&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; </strong><strong>Contact Information</strong></p>\n<p>For questions regarding submissions or participation\, please contact:</p>\n<p><strong>Harriet Yates</strong><br> Email:<strong> harriet.yates@ru.nl</strong></p>\n<p>We look forward to receiving your abstracts and welcoming you to Nijmegen in June 2026.</p>\n<p>On behalf of the organising committee: Harriet Yates\, Bob van Tiel\, Peter de Swart\, Thomas van der Leer\, Corien Bary</p>
