<p class="paragraphstyle3"><span lang="EN-US">The Association for Linguistic
Typology <span class="style1">invites abstracts on any topic in typology for
20-minute papers, posters, and a limited number of workshops. Non-members
may submit abstracts but will be expected to join ALT in order to present a
paper at the meeting.</span></span></p>
<p class="paragraphstyle3"><span class="style3"><span lang="EN-US">Deadline for
receipt of abstracts (revised): December 1, 2010 (papers/posters) or November
1, 2010 (workshops: see below)</span></span></p>
<p class="paragraphstyle3"><span class="style1"><span lang="EN-US">Notification of
acceptance: February 1, 2010</span></span></p>
<p class="paragraphstyle3"><span class="style1"><span lang="EN-US">The conference
aims to present a maximum of three parallel sessions, four workshops, and 2
poster sessions. Papers are anonymously reviewed; in line with previous
meetings, the committee will strive to ensure that selection is rigorous but
that acceptance-rate is not too low.</span></span></p>

<p class="paragraphstyle6"><span class="style3"><span lang="EN-US">1) Individual oral
presentations</span></span><span class="style1"><span lang="EN-US"> (single or
multiple author): 20 minutes + 10 minutes for discussion</span></span></p>
<p class="paragraphstyle6"><span class="style3"><span lang="EN-US">2) Posters</span></span><span class="style1"><span lang="EN-US">: One or more poster sessions will be
organized, depending on demand.</span></span></p>
<p class="paragraphstyle6"><span class="style3"><span lang="EN-US">3) Oral or poster</span></span><span class="style1"><span lang="EN-US">: This means you prefer an oral
presentation but can also present a poster. If there are more good
abstracts than we can accommodate, the Program Committee will schedule some as
posters. If you choose either category "poster" or "oral or
poster", this will increase your chances of acceptance.</span></span></p>
<p class="paragraphstyle6"><span class="style3"><span lang="EN-US">4) Workshop: </span></span><span lang="EN-US">Each abstract will be reviewed in the same way as individual papers,
and will be individually accepted or not. A workshop abstract is required
which will also be competitively reviewed. If all individual abstracts and
the workshop abstract are accepted, the workshop will be scheduled as a workshop. If
not, the accepted papers will be scheduled as regular individual presentations
(and may be scheduled together, as we will aim for thematic unity of conference
sessions where possible). In the case of a close call (e.g. a workshop
with all but one presentation accepted; all presentations accepted but workshop
proposal not accepted; etc.) the Program Committee will try to resolve things
in as member-friendly a way as possible.</span></p>
<p class="paragraphstyle3"><span class="style1"><span lang="EN-US">Note: One
individual may be involved in a maximum of two papers (maximum of one as sole
author). A workshop presentation by one person counts as a single-author
paper.</span></span></p>
