DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS: 10 April 2020

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS:

We appreciate current visa issues, as well as the need to plan your travel, and so we will make an effort to accept abstracts on an on-going basis. What this means is that at the beginning of December and February, as well as after the official April 10 deadline, we will review all newly-received abstracts. Your abstract should:

            •Be anonymous
            •Be submitted in PDF format, with all non-standard fonts embedded

            •Be no longer than two pages including references, figures, and data (single-spaced with      1 inch margins, 12-point text, preferably Times New Roman)

As appropriate, identify the framework, describe the methodology, explain how the data are analyzed—in other words, please be as concrete and specific as possible in describing your work.

Abstracts should be submitted using EasyAbs: http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/sls15in2020. If you are a student, under the “Institution” field please also include that information (in order to be considered for a student travel grant and/or the Charles E. Townsend Award).

            •An individual may submit at most one single and one co-authored paper

            •Up-to-date SLS membership is required for presenting at the annual meeting
