<b>GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION: WORKSHOP PROPOSALS and PAPERS, POSTERS AND GENERAL SESSION PAPERS<br>
</b> <br>
PROCEDURE. The deadline for the submission of workshop proposals is 15 November 2012. The address for submission is
<a href="mailto:sle@arts.kuleuven.be">sle@arts.kuleuven.be</a>. Notification of acceptance/rejection will be given by 15 December 2012. After a workshop proposal has been accepted, the convenors will be requested to invite their participants to submit their
full abstracts by 15 January 2013. These full abstracts will be evaluated individually by the Scientific Committee and the convenors.
<br>
<br>
15 January 2013 is the deadline for all abstracts (general sessions, poster session and workshops). Notification of acceptance will be given by 31 March 2013.<br>
<br>
Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (exclusive of references) and should clearly state research questions, approach, method, data and (expected) results.
<br>
<br>
Abstracts should be registered and submitted via the <a href="http://wwwling.arts.kuleuven.be/conference/admin/SubmitAbstractSLE">
Submit Abstract form</a>, where you can upload an attachment. Abstracts should have the same title as the entry submitted via the Submit abstract form. Abstracts should not mention the presenter(s) nor their affiliations or addresses. Only references mentioned
in the text can be listed. Check the final abstract carefully before submission. Abstracts will not be edited for typing, spelling, or grammatical errors after submission. -Submit the abstract as a Word document. If it contains special characters, please send
a PDF version to <a href="mailto:sle@arts.kuleuven.be">sle@arts.kuleuven.be</a>.<br>
<br>
Layout requirements for abstracts: Abstracts must be single-spaced and fully justified. The standard font will be Calibri, size 10. The margins will be 2,54 top/bottom and 1,91 left/right (Moderate in MS Word). References will have a hanging indent of 1,27
cm.<br>
<br>
<br>
ORGANIZING A WORKSHOP. Whereas general session papers can deal with any topic in linguistics, workshop papers take into account the topic of the workshop proposal, and are usually pre-selected by the workshop convenors.
<br>
<br>
Workshop proposals should contain: <br>
<br>
(i) a 1000 word description of the topic (including the research questions)<br>
and<br>
(ii) a (provisional) list of workshop participants and 300 word abstracts of their papers.<br>
<br>
We strongly encourage workshop convenors to distribute an open call for papers via the LinguistList (announce your cfp as a session of SLE 2013) and other fora in October and November 2012.
<br>
<br>
Since we want conference participants to be able to attend individual workshop presentations, SLE workshops have to be compatible with the main conference schedule. This means that the format of the workshops must be organized around 30 minute presentations
(20 min. + 10 min. discussion). Workshops ideally contain 10 or 15 slots (corresponding to 1 or 1.5 days); each workshop ideally comprises:<br>
<br>
1. An introductory paper by the convenor(s) or by a key-note speaker, which summarizes previous research, specifies the approach(es) to be taken and sets the scope of the papers to be presented.<br>
2. Eight papers (1 day) or thirteen papers (1.5 day). <br>
3. A slot for final discussion on the topics covered by the papers, methodological issues and questions for future research.<br>
<br>
Further details can be discussed with the <a href="mailto:sle@arts.kuleuven.be">SLE Conference Manager</a>.<br>
<br>
<br>
POSTERS. The next SLE meeting will hold a poster session of an hour for both senior and junior researchers. In order to foster interaction, all other sessions will be suspended during the poster session. Posters may remain available during the rest of the conference.
The maximum size of the poster is 1.10 m (vertical) x 1 m (horizontal). For more information about how to make a good poster,
<a href="http://people.eku.edu/ritchisong/posterpres.html">click here</a>.<br>
<br>
<br>
MULTIPLE PAPERS. One person may submit a single-authored abstract, a single-authored abstract and a co-authored one (not as first author) or two co-authored abstracts (only one as first author). Note that keynote papers within workshops count as ordinary papers.
Presentations will be 20 minutes plus 10 minutes question time.<br>
<br>
<br>
EVALUATION. Workshop proposals contain the names of convenors and participants and will be evaluated and ranked by the 5 officers of the SLE Scientific Committee. All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by three referees. Abstracts submitted to the general
session and to the poster session will be evaluated by three members of the Scientific Committee. Workshop papers receive two evaluations by SC members and one by the workshop convenors. The threshold for acceptance is the same for general session, poster
and workshop abstracts. The acceptance of a paper depends on the quality of the abstract. The acceptance rate of the previous conference was 70 %.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>PRIZE FOR THE BEST PRESENTATION AND THE BEST POSTER<br>
</b> <br>
There will be a prize for the best oral presentation by a PhD student, a prize for the best oral presentation by a postdoc and a prize for the best poster.
<br>
<br>
For current purposes, PhD-students are students that have not completed their PhD before the conference. Postdocs have completed their PhD not earlier than January 2010. A nominated paper may be co-authored; in such a case the nominee will be the first author.<br>
<br>
Applicants are invited to mark the button referring to the prize when they register their abstract. On the basis of the ranking of the abstracts, the Scientific Committee will set up an internal shortlist with nominees for the prizes.
<br>
<br>
Members of the Editorial Board of <i>Folia Linguistica (Historica)</i> and the Scientific Committee will decide who will be awarded the first prize in each category, which consists of 500 Euros, and the 2nd and 3rd prize, which is a three-year

<br>
<br>
<b>REGISTRATION<br>
<br>
</b>Registration will start from 1 April 2013 onwards. SLE meetings are member only conferences. That is, all participants with a paper in the program will have to be members. The early bird conference fee for members will be 170 Euros.<br>
<br>
Become a member of the <a href="http://www.societaslinguistica.eu/membership/join.php">
Societas Linguistica Europaea</a> and get a discount.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>SOCIAL PROGRAMME<br>
<br>
</b>There will be a reception in the city centre (included in the registration fee), a city walk and a conference dinner. On Saturday afternoon there will be a post-conference excursion. Further information will be given in the second circular.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>HOW TO GET TO SPLIT<br>
<br>
</b>Whether by plane, boat, bus, train or car, it's getting ever easier to travel to Split. With new trains, new air routes, a new motorway to Zagreb plus dozens of ferries and buses, Split is becoming one of Croatia's prime points of entry. There are not a
lot of direct flights to Split (most go to Zagreb) that run all year, but from April to October there are quite a few low-cost carriers that fly directly to Split from a number of cities in the UK, France and Germany as well as an assortment of other European
countries. Other airports: Zadar (160 km, regular bus service to Split) and Zagreb (400 km, regular train, bus and plane service to Split).<br>
<br>
