The paper itself should begin with the title and an abstract, but should not include the names or addresses of the authors. -Papers should be submitted as .pdf files only. All papers will be submitted electronically; authors must first register before uploading papers to the program committee database (details coming soon on the Author Resource page). For bibliographic references, if the author's name(s) is/are part of the text, then only the date should be in brackets. E.g. "Huddleston (1988) introduced the term ...", not "(Huddleston 1988) introduced the term ..." -Make sure your figures are not wider than the text. Don't forget to use italics for cited words, and double quotes for glosses.

ling.ucsd.edu>CALL FOR PAPERS: SALT 12 ABSTRACT DEADLINE: December 10, 2001 CONFERENCE DATES: March 8-10, 2002 Semantics and Linguistic Theory, co-hosted by University of California, San Diego and San Diego State University Invited speakers: Robyn Carston, Donka Farkas, Jeff Pelletier, and Roger Schwarzschild SALT 12 invites submissions for 30-minute presentations, with an additional 10 minutes for discussion, on any topic in the semantic analysis of natural language emphasizing the connection to linguistic theory. Abstracts must be no more than 2 pages long, and no more than 1200 words. Please leave at least a 1-inch (2.5 cm) margin on all four sides, and use at least a 12-pt font. In the interest of fairness, these limitations will be strictly enforced. Any person may submit at most one abstract as sole author, and at most two abstracts in total. Abstracts must arrive by December 10 (Monday), 2001; note that this deadline is SIGNIFICANTLY EARLIER than last year's deadline, in order to accommodate the earlier conference dates (traditional for West Coast editions of SALT). We will not be able to consider abstracts that arrive, for whatever reason, after the deadline. We strongly prefer ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS. Please use PDF whenever possible, but plain ASCII text and, if necessary, Microsoft Word are acceptable. In order to be counted as meeting the deadline, electronic submissions must be received on Monday 10 December 2001 by 11 PM Pacific Daylight time. Email submissions must include the authors' names, affiliations, and contact information, bearing in mind that the abstracts themselves must be STRICTLY ANONYMOUS. If you decide to send abstracts through the mail, in addition to a sheet giving names, affiliations, and contact information, please include 7 anonymous copies for refereeing. Abstracts should be sent to: email: saltMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
