Linguistic Field(s): Typology
Call Deadline: 15-Jan-2015
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.
Final Call for Papers:
Abstracts on any topic in typology are invited for oral presentations and/or posters at the 11th Conference of the Association for Linguistic Typology. Non-members of ALT may submit abstracts but will be expected to join ALT in order to present a paper at the meeting. Note that an individual may be involved in a maximum of two abstracts (maximum of one as sole author), regardless of category (oral, poster, or theme-session talk).
Deadline for receipt of abstracts: January 15, 2015 (individual papers, oral or poster). Theme session proposals have already been reviewed
Abstracts for Individual Presentations:
Abstracts may be submitted for:
(1) Oral presentation (single or multiple author): Each paper will have 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion.
(2) Poster: One or more poster sessions will be organized, depending on demand.
(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. If you choose either category ''poster'' or ''oral/poster'', this will probably increase your chances of acceptance.
Abstracts will be anonymously reviewed by members of the Program Committee and by one or more members of an extended Scientific Committee. In line with previous meetings, the Program Committee will strive to ensure that selection is rigorous but that the acceptance rate is not too low.
Notification of acceptance: February 28, 2015
Abstract Specifications:
Maximum length: 500 words on 1 single-spaced page of either A4 or US Letter size with margins of 12mm (0.5 inch) or more. Font size should preferably be 12 point but may be as small as 10 point. Put the word count at the bottom of the page. Examples are included in the word count but references are excluded and may be extended onto a second page. Abstracts that exceed the word count or the one-page text limit will be rejected without being evaluated.
Put this information at the top of your abstract:
- Abstract title
- Abstract category (oral, poster, oral/poster)
- Abstract sub-field from the list below
Abstract subfields: Abstracts should be classified thematically into one of the following nine subfields:
- Phonetics/phonology
- Morphology
- Syntax
- Semantics
- Discourse/pragmatics
- Historical linguistics
- Sociolinguistics
- Foundations/methodology
- Other
Anomymity: Abstracts must be anonymous: do not put your name or other identifying information on the abstract.
Save and submit your abstract in .pdf format (Word and text formats can also be accepted if you cannot generate a .pdf file). Be sure to remove identifying information from your .pdf file such as ''Author'' under the ''Description'' tab.
Give your submitted file a name that is similar to the abstract title.
