Happy New Year to everybody on this list!
Except for the Internationalization and Unicode Conference (see
https://www.unicodeconference.org/; submission deadline March 6, 2020),
this list very rarely sees calls for papers, but this one should
definitely be of interest at least to a subset of people on this list
(mostly those with academic/theoretic inclinations). The submission
deadline is very close (January 13), but I have heard there may be an
extension.

Second CALL FOR PAPERS
G21C Grapholinguistics in the 21st century—From graphemes to knowledge
<https://grafematik2020.sciencesconf.org>
June 17-18-19, 2020
Paris, France
Contact: Yannis Haralambous
grafematik2020_at_sciencesconf.org or grafematik2020_at_easychair.org
************************************************
G21C (Grapholinguistics in the 21st Century) is a biennial conference
bringing together disciplines concerned with grapholinguistics and more
generally the study writing systems and their representation in written
communication. The conference aims to reflect on the current state of
research in the area, and on the role that writing and writing systems play
in neighboring disciplines like computer science and information
technology, communication, typography, psychology, and pedagogy. In
particular it aims to study the effect of the growing importance of Unicode
with regard to the future of reading and writing in human societies.
Reflecting the richness of perspectives on writing systems, G21C is
actively interdisciplinary, and welcomes proposals from researchers from
the fields of computer science and information technology, linguistics,
communication, pedagogy, psychology, history, and the social sciences.
G21C aims to create a space for the discussion of the range of approaches
to writing systems, and specifically to bridge approaches in linguistics,
informatics, and other fields. It will provide a forum for explorations in
terminology, methodology, and theoretical approaches relating to the
delineation of an emerging interdisciplinary area of research that
intersects with intense activity in practical implementations of writing
systems.
The first edition of G21C was held in Brest, France, on June 14-15, 2018.
All presentations have been recorded and can be watched on

typosquatting, etc.)
Graphemics/graphetics in art, media and communication / Aesthetics of
writing in the digital era
Graphemics/graphetics in experimental psychology and cognitive sciences
Teaching graphemics/graphetics, the five Ws and one H
