Web Site: http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/SALT/ ; Linguistic Field(s): Semantics Call Deadline: 20-Dec-2004 Meeting Description: Semantics and Linguistic Theory 15 March 25-27 2005 University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Invited Speakers: David Beaver, Stanford University Scott Soames, University of Southern California Anna Szabolcsi, New York University Semantics and Linguistic Theory 15 will be hosted by the Linguistics Department of the University of California Los Angeles. The conference will take place on March 25 through 27 2005. Please note that these dates include the holidays Good Friday and Easter. SALT 15 invites submissions for 30-minute presentations (plus ten-minute discussions) on any topic pertaining to natural language semantics with relevance to linguistic theory. Abstracts should be at most 2 pages in length (including examples and references) using a 12 pt. font with 1-inch (2.5 cm) margins on all four side. In the interest of fairness, these limitations will be strictly enforced. The same person may submit at most one abstract as a sole author and one as a co-author. We especially encourage abstracts that deal with the semantics of underrepresented languages, including, but not limited to, the native languages of the Americas. Pending funding, we hope to be able to reimburse student speakers for their travel costs. Please indicate if you would qualify for such a grant in the body of your abstract submission email (see below). As a matter of general policy, SALT does not accept papers that at the time of the conference have been published or have been accepted for publication. In addition, preference will be given to presentations that are not duplicated at other major conferences. We therefore request that authors indicate prior or planned presentations of their papers along with their contact information when they submit their abstracts. We strongly encourage electronic submissions, which may be sent to salt ucla.edu. We ask authors to adhere to the following guidelines:
- Please write the (first) author's name plus the word 'abstract' in the subject line of your message (e.g., 'Jones abstract'), and include author name(s), affiliation and contact information in the body of the email. - Please send the abstract as an attachment. We prefer .pdf files but will also accept plain text or MS-Word files; if you send the latter, we ask that you send us a .rtf rather than .doc file if possible. If you choose to send in your abstract via regular mail, please submit 7 anonymous copies plus a separate card giving the title of the abstract, author name(s), affiliation, and contact information. Abstracts should be mailed to: SALT 15 Committee UCLA, Department of Linguistics 3125 Campbell Hall Los Angeles, CA 90095-1543 Abstracts (electronic or otherwise) should reach us by 12pm Eastern time, December 20, 2004. We regret that we will not be able to consider abstracts arriving after this date. Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue |
