The Conference will be held at the University of Melbourne, 2nd-3rd November 2010. Call For Papers The School of Languages and Linguistics at the University of Melbourne is hosting a Postgraduate conference in the broad disciplines of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics. Submissions are called for long papers, speed papers and posters from any Postgraduate or Honours student on a topic related to Linguistics and Applied Linguistics. Participants are encouraged to present work-in-progress or proposed research work as speed papers or posters. Presentations based on collaborative and/or interdisciplinary work are particularly welcome. Preference will be given to co-authored work, and work that attempts to integrate approaches from different areas of research, either within Linguistics/Applied Linguistics, or from Linguistics/Applied Linguistics and another discipline. Submissions should be short abstracts (max. 250 words), which will be subject to anonymous peer review. Participants should indicate in their submission whether they would prefer to present a long paper, a speed paper or a poster (see below). There will be no registration fee, and fully- written submissions may be called for following the conference for inclusion in a possible publication. Long papers will be 15-20 minute presentations with time allowed for questions, in concurrent sessions organized according to research themes. Speed papers will be 4-5 minute presentations, run non-concurrently to allow maximum exposure for presenters. Joint discussion will be held at the end of each block of presentations. Both speed papers and posters are ideal formats to present work-in-progress, ideas for collaborative projects, or future plans for research. Posters should be A1 size and may also be appropriate for presenters unable to attend the conference.
