Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition

Language Family(ies): Austronesian

Call Deadline: 15-Jan-2005

Meeting Description:

AFLA XII will include a special session on child acquisition of
Austronesian languages, with both papers and posters. Abstracts are invited
for 20-minute talks (plus 10 minutes for discussion), or for a poster
session. Talks and posters may be in any area of child acquisition of
Austronesian languages.

We are especially interested in abstract submissions from acquisition
researchers at institutions in Austronesian-speaking countries, and
encourage such researchers to submit an abstract even if they do not have
funding for travel. We are hoping to have some funding to pay travel costs
for participants from Austronesian-speaking countries, though at this time
we don't know how much such funding we'll have, if any.

ABSTRACT REQUIREMENTS
Submissions to the special session are limited to 1 individual and 1 joint
abstract per author. This does not include submissions to the main session.
That is, you may submit up to 4 abstracts to AFLA XII: 1 individual and 1
joint to the main session, and 1 individual and 1 joint to the special session.

Abstract text should be single-spaced, at least 12-point font, on one page
(US Letter or A4) with 1-inch or 2.5-cm margins on all sides. An additional
page for data, figures, and references may be included. Authors' names
should not appear on abstracts, but the abstract should include a title.

Abstracts should be submitted by email, as PDF files, to afla12 at ucla.edu by
January 15, 2005. Use the subject heading 'special session abstract' and
include in the body of the email the following information:

-title of the abstract
-author name(s)
-affiliation(s)
-mailing address
-e-mail address
-whether you are willing for the abstract to be considered as a poster
submission
-whether you are willing for the abstract to be considered as a talk submission
(if both, please state your preference)
-if you are at an institution in an Austronesian-speaking country, whether
you wish to be considered for travel funding, should such funds be available

Notification of acceptance will be by February 15, 2005.
