city centre and from Parkway. Southampton airport has a good range of regional services and is located next to Parkway station.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">If you believe your paper is of interest to a SIG track, you may want to submit it to one of the SIG tracks (all individuals, whether or not officially SIG members, are eligible). The
SIG may then wish to include your paper in a track at the annual meeting. Submitting your abstract to a SIG track may or may not lead to your paper being included in a SIG track and has no impact on abstract acceptance to the conference. BAAL has ten Special
Interest Groups. They are (1) UK Linguistic Ethnography Forum, (2) Corpus Linguistics, (3) Psycholinguistics, (4) Multimodality, (5) Language Learning and Teaching, (6) Language in Africa, (7) Gender and Language, (8) Vocabulary Studies, (9) Testing, Evaluation
and Assessment, and (10) Intercultural Communication.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">We strongly encourage the submission of abstracts for posters. We aim to raise the profile of posters at our conference since we value them as equal to other forms of presentation, and
we believe that they tend to receive more feedback than individual papers. All posters will be listed in the book of abstracts, and there will be a dedicated area and time slot for discussion of poster presentations. There will also be a prize for best poster
displayed at the conference. The winner will receive £50 and a book.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">Colloquium introduction and individual papers within the colloquium must be submitted separately, due to technical constraints. The organiser of the colloquium should first submit colloquium
title and introduction along with an overview of paper titles in the colloquium (max 450 words). The paper abstracts of the colloquium should then be submitted<b> VIA THE “COLLOQUIUM” STRAND</b> by the organiser one by one, entitled "Paper X of colloquium
title: paper title" followed by the abstract (max 300 words per abstract). Colloquia have half a day and a minimum of four papers. Colloquia proposers should plan their half day in four slots, in step with the individual paper slots. If they wish to have a
larger number of papers, they may fit two papers into what would normally be a single slot. Colloquia papers should cohere. The order of the papers should not be changed after acceptance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">During the abstract submission process, you will be asked to indicate whether you want to apply for a scholarship. If so, choose the scholarship you want to apply for and write a short
paragraph (max. 200 words) explaining why you are applying for one of the scholarships.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
