Linguistic Field(s): Typology
Call Deadline: 30-Nov-2014
Meeting Description:
The 11th Biennial Conference of the Association
for Linguistic Typology will be held in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, 1-3 August 2015. It is
organized by the Linguistics Department of the
University of New Mexico.
Call for Papers:
Abstracts on any topic in typology are invited
for oral presentations, posters, and a limited
number of theme sessions. Non-members of ALT
may submit abstracts but will be expected to
join ALT in order to present a paper at the
meeting.
Deadline for receipt of abstracts: January 15,
2015 (individual papers/posters) or November
30, 2014 (theme sessions)
Abstracts for individual presentations:
(1) Oral presentation: Each paper will have 20
minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion.
(2) Poster: One or more poster sessions will be
organized.
(3) Oral/poster: This means you prefer an oral
presentation but can also present a poster. If
there are more good abstracts than we can
accommodate, the Program Committee will
schedule some as posters. Choosing ''poster''
or ''oral/poster'' will probably increase your
chances of acceptance.
Abstracts are anonymously reviewed; in line
with previous meetings, the committee will
strive to ensure that selection is rigorous but
that the acceptance rate is not too low.
Notification of acceptance: February 28,
2015
Theme Sessions:
A theme session may consist of three to six
oral presentations on a common theme (20
minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion). They
are proposed non-anonymously by a theme-session
convenor. Proposals consist of a short
description of the theme (100-200 words) plus a
list of planned presentations with names of
authors, titles, and short abstracts (100-200
words). Bringing together the potential
presenters and their abstracts for a theme
session is the sole responsibility of the
theme-session convenor and is completely
independent of the Program Committee. The
deadline for submitting theme sessions is
November 30th, and notification is by December
20th. Theme sessions are evaluated and accepted
or rejected en bloc.
Abstract Submission:
Submit your abstract via the EasyAbs site of
the conference:
http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/ALT11-2015
Note: One individual may be involved in a
maximum of two abstracts (max. one as sole
author), regardless of category (oral, poster,
theme-session talk).
Abstract subfields: Abstracts should be
classified thematically into one of the
following subfields:
- Phonetics/phonology
- Morphology
- Syntax
- Semantics
- Discourse/pragmatics
- Historical lingusitics
- Sociolinguistics
- Foundations/methodology
- Other

must be no more than 500 words and no larger
than one page of A4 (or US letter), in type no
smaller than 10 point and preferably 12 point;
margins should be at least 12 mm (0.5 inch) on
all sides. Abstracts exceeding the word or page
limit or in type smaller than 10 point will be
