5th International Free Linguistics Conference
8-9 October 2011
University of Sydney
http://www.freelinguistics.org
The aim of this conference is to provide scholars, researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate students with current research issues from all fields of linguistics & TESOL an open and widely accessible forum.
The main feature that distinguishes this conference is its focus on freedom:
- Freedom from linguistic subfield divisions,
- Freedom from an established and rigid theme for presentations, and
- Freedom from fees!
Featured focus speakers include:
William S. Greaves & Jim Benson (York University, Canada)
Andy Kirkpatrick (Griffith University, Australia)
Peter R.R. White (University of New South Wales, Australia)
Call for Papers:
Authors are invited to submit abstracts for papers, colloquia, poster presentations, or hot topics.
- Single papers (abstract max of 250 words): Papers will be 40 minutes in length, with 30 minutes for presentation, 10 minutes for questions/discussion.
- Colloquia (abstract max of 250 words): Colloquia will be 90 minutes in length. Their internal structure is up to their organizers, but sufficient time for discussion is encouraged.
- Poster presentations (abstract max of 250 words): Poster presentations will be given in groups with a 30-minute allotment per session. This format may suit young researchers who want to present their work in a less formal format.
- Hot topics (abstract max of 250 words): Hot topic talks will be 20 minutes in length, with 10 minutes for the talk and 10 minutes for Q&A/discussion. We especially welcome proposals in this category from young researchers/students with new and challenging ideas.

administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
