Meeting Description:
The Manchester Forum in Linguistics (mFiL) is
an annual international conference which brings together new researchers from every
field of linguistics. The aim of the event is to share current work, results and
problems and to provide information and advice for postgraduate students and early
career researchers. This includes the presentation of papers, posters, a careers
panel and plenary talks, as well as dinner and drinks. This sixth instalment will be
held at the University of Manchester on 26-27 April 2018.
Final Call for
Papers:
Submissions for oral and poster presentations in all areas of
linguistics are welcomed. Presentations should be no more than 20 minutes in length
with 10 additional minutes allocated for questions, comments and discussion.
Preference will be given to abstracts which contain implications for linguistic
theory or employ novel methodology.
Authors are permitted to submit a
maximum of one single-authored paper and one co-authored paper or a total of two
co-authored papers. Abstracts must be fully anonymous.
Deadline extended
to:
18 February 2018 (midnight GMT)
