endangered languages and heritage languages. The goal of this workshop is to
bring together scholars approaching linguistic diversity from different
theoretical perspectives; hence the mention of diversity of languages and
linguistics in the workshop subtitle.

Submission deadline: December 28, 2008

We invite submissions of abstracts for papers (30-minute presentation plus

to linguistic theory. Abstracts must be anonymous. They should be at most 2
pages in length (A4 or US Letter), including examples and references, using a

SALT 19 will feature a poster session. When you submit your abstract, you will
be asked to indicate whether you would like your abstract to be considered for
this session. Poster presentations will be published as regular papers in the
proceedings.

Policies:
Authors may be involved in at most two submissions and may be the sole author of
at most one abstract. No single author will be allowed to give more than one
presentation at the conference.

SALT does not accept papers that have been published or have been accepted for
publication at the time of the conference. In addition, preference will be given
to presentations that are not duplicated at other major conferences. We
therefore request that authors indicate prior or planned presentations of their
papers when they submit their abstracts.

Submission details:
We will use Pasha for submission of abstracts; only pdf files can be accepted
through the system. To submit, please follow this link:

If you have questions about SALT 19 or encounter problems with the submission
interface, do not hesitate to send us an e-mail: salt19 at ling.ohio-state.edu.

Sciences, the Center for Cognitive Science, and the Departments of Computer
Science and Engineering, East Asian Languages and Literatures, Linguistics, Near
