The 2023 Hispanic Linguistics Symposium will be held October 12-14 on the campus of Brigham Young University, Provo, UT. The purpose of this conference is to bring together scholars to share original linguistic research that analyzes Spanish and Portuguese data or data from contact situations between Spanish, Portuguese and other languages.

2nd Call for Papers:

--The deadline for abstract submission has been extended--

We invite abstracts for 20-minute talks (plus 10 minutes for discussion), as well as for poster presentations, on any aspect of linguistic research. In particular, we look forward to receiving studies dealing with synchronic and diachronic approaches to theoretical linguistics, sociolinguistics, language variation and change, contact linguistics, bilingualism, Spanish in the US, applied linguistics, second language acquisition, multimodality, language policy and pidgin & creole languages.
Papers and poster presentations can be delivered in Spanish, Portuguese or English.

Abstracts should be submitted in PDF format and should not exceed 500 words (not including title), with a second page reserved for examples, tables, and references.
Authors may submit up to two abstracts, one individual and one joint.
Abstracts must clearly present a specific thesis statement and include a description of the topic, the approach, and conclusions. To preserve anonymity during the review process, authors should not include their names or otherwise reveal their identity anywhere in the abstract, including in the document properties.
