SAMPLE ABSTRACT OUTLINE

Many abstracts are rejected because they omit crucial information
rather than because of errors in what they include. A suggested
outline for abstracts is as follows:
1. Choose a title that clearly indicates the topic of the paper and is
no more than one line long.
2. State the problem or research question raised by prior work, with
specific reference to relevant prior research.
3. State the main point or argument of the proposed presentation.
4. Cite sufficient data, and explain why and how they support the main
point or argument. When examples are in languages or varieties other
than Standard English, provide word by word glosses and capitalize the
portions of the examples which are critical to the argument. Explain
abbreviations at their first occurrence.
5. If your paper presents the results of experiments, but collection
of results is not yet complete, then report what results you have
already obtained in sufficient detail so that your abstract may be
evaluated. Also indicate the nature of the experimental design and the
specific hypothesis tested.
6. State the relevance of your ideas to past work or to the future
development of the field. Describe analyses in as much detail as
possible.  Avoid saying in effect "a solution to this problem will be
presented". If you are taking a stand on a controversial issue,
summarize the arguments that lead you to your position.
7. State the contribution to linguistic research made by the analysis.
8. While citation in the text of the relevant literature is essential,
a separate list of references at the end of the abstract is generally
unnecessary.

Subject:  2005 Conference of the International Society for Language Studies



2005 Conference of the International Society for Language Studies
Monday, April 18 - Wednesday, April 20
Montreal, Canada
Conference web site:
http://www.isls-inc.org/

The International Society for Language Studies (ISLS) encourages and
promotes critical discourse and research in language matters, broadly
conceived.  Papers may be submitted for the following session
strands:

Identity
Interdisciplinary Foci
Language Professions
Pedagogy
Policy
Research Methodology
Technology

Presentation proposals are accepted via the ISLS website. Various
presentation formats are possible: individual paper, paper session,
seminar. We particularly encourage multiple paper proposals as a venue
for scholars engaged in research and dialogue on special interest
topics.

As an international organization with members from every continent,
ISLS encourages a multilingual event. Although the principal language
of the conference will be English, authors may submit proposals and
present papers in the language of their choice. In an effort to appeal
to the broadest of audiences and to ensure both audience attendance
and participation in conference sessions, authors are, however,
strongly encouraged to prepare support materials (hand-outs, overhead
transparencies, slides, concurrent bilingual translation) in a
language likely to be common to attendees. Sessions will be organized
by topic, not language, unless a group of authors propose an entire
session.

Deadline for proposals: October 1, 2004.
Conference Chair: John Watzke.

The ISLS Conference directly follows the 2005 American Educational
Research Association (AERA)  conference.
