Proposals regarding original, previously unpublished research results on
bilingualism/ multilingualism are invited in three formats: colloquia, individual 
papers, and posters. Each paper presentation should be scheduled for 20 
minutes.

Proposals for Colloquia
Colloquia are collections of four paper presentations that relate to a 
narrowly defined topic of interest. They are submitted as a group, 
individually reviewed and offered in 120 minute time blocks. Proposals for 
colloquia should include a general abstract (maximum of 400 words), 
describing the colloquium as a whole, also an overall summary for inclusion 
in the conference program (max 75 words) as well as abstracts (max 300 
words each) and summaries (max 50 words) for each of the individual 
papers. The word limit includes examples and references. For each of the 
papers to be presented, the author's name, professional affiliation, and 
email address must be included. Sufficient details should be provided to 
allow peer reviewers to judge the scientific merit of the proposal. A chair for 
the session must also be identified. Instead of a fourth speaker, time can be 
reserved for discussion led by a specified discussant. The person 
submitting a proposal for a colloquium is in charge of securing the 
permission and co-operation of all participants before the proposal is 
submitted.

Proposals for Individual Papers or Posters
Proposals for individual papers or posters consist of a 300-word abstract,
including examples and references. The abstract should include enough 
details to allow reviewers to judge the scientific merit of the proposal. In 
addition, an overall summary for inclusion in the conference program (max 
50 words) must be submitted. Abstracts for paper/poster presentations will 
be double-blind peer-reviewed. Authors will be asked to specify a format 
(paper presentation or poster session) at the time the work is submitted.

For all Submissions
Only one presentation as a first author and one as a co-author.

Abstract submissions will open on the ISB8 conference site from June 15, 
2010.

Submission deadlines
-Colloquia: October 1, 2010
-Individual papers and posters: October 15, 2010
-Notification of acceptance: February 1, 2011
