Guidelines for submission: workshop proposals and papers, posters
and general session papers
*PROCEDURE*. The deadline for the submission of workshop proposals is 15
November 2011. The address for submission is sle at arts.kuleuven.be
<mailto:sle at arts.kuleuven.be>. Notification of acceptance/rejection will
be given by 15 December 2011. After a workshop proposal has been
accepted, the convenors will be requested to invite their participants
to submit their full abstracts by 15 January 2012. These full abstracts
will be evaluated individually by the Scientific Committee and the
convenors.
The deadline for all abstracts (for the general session, the poster
session and the workshops) is 15 January 2012. Notification of
acceptance will be given by 31 March 2011.
Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (exclusive of references) and
should clearly state research questions, approach, method, data and
(expected) results.
Abstracts should be registered and submitted via the Submit Abstract
form
<http://wwwling.arts.kuleuven.be/conference/admin/SubmitAbstractSLE>
where you can upload an attachment. The abstract should not mention the
presenter(s) nor their affiliations or addresses. Abstracts are
preferably in Word or .RTF format; if your abstract contains special
symbols, please include a pdf version as well.
*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.
Workshop proposals should contain:
* A 1000 word description of the topic (including the research
questions to be addressed) and
* a (provisional) list of workshop participants and 300 word
abstracts of their papers.
We encourage workshop convenors to distribute an open call for papers on
the LinguistList (announce your cfp as a session of SLE 2012) and other
fora in October 2011.
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 can contain 10 or 15 slots (corresponding to 1 or
1.5 days); each workshop ideally comprises:
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.
2. Eight papers (1 day) or thirteen papers (1.5 day).
3. A slot for final discussion on the topics covered by the papers,
methodological issues and questions for future research.
Further details can be discussed with the SLE Conference Manager
<mailto:sle at arts.kuleuven.be>.
*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 be 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, click here
<http://people.eku.edu/ritchisong/posterpres.html>.
*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.
*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 68%.
Prize for the best presentation and the best poster
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.
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 2009. A nominated paper may be co-authored; in such
a case the nominee will be the first author.
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.
Members of the Editorial Board of /Folia Linguistica (Historica)/ 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 SLE membership
<http://www.societaslinguistica.eu/membership/join.php>.
Registration
Registration will start from 1 April 2012 onwards. From this year on,
the SLE meeting will be a member only conference. 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.

Social programme
There will be a reception in the City Hall of Stockholm (included in the
registration fee) and a conference dinner. On Saturday afternoon there
will be a post-conference excursion. Further information will be given
in the second circular.
How to get to Stockholm
Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, is well connected by train, boat and
airways. Stockholm is a key hub for flights in the Baltic Sea Region,
the European Union and the rest of the world. It has three major
airports - Arlanda (the primary gateway to Sweden), Bromma (smaller, but
close to central Stockholm) and Skavsta (although 1,5 hours away by
airport bus, this is the hub for Ryanair, Europe's largest low cost
airline). Train tickets from continental Europe can be booked at
http://www.sl.se, and all major travel agencies should have information
on boat schedules for the Baltic Sea Region.
