1) Individual papersS are invited for presentations of 20 minutes, with a
further 10 minutes allowed for questions. Abstracts should be 250-300 
words long and should be submitted at  
http://www.forensiclinguistics.net/iafl2011_abstracts.htm  Unsuccessful 
proposals may be offered to be presented alternatively as a poster (see 
below).

(2) Colloquia, scheduled for 2-hour blocks, with a maximum of two linked
sessions. Organisers may organise as they choose, but time should be 
allocated for presentations, discussion and audience response. Organisers 
serve as the liaison between participants and the conference organisers. 
Proposals will also be reviewed by the scientific committee.
Proposals should be 250-300 words long, with an indication of participants 
and a brief description of their contribution. They should be submitted at 
http://www.forensiclinguistics.net/iafl2011_abstracts.htm

(3) Posters. Proposals for posters should be up to 250 words long. Posters 
should be of A0 size (841mm × 1189mm / 33.1" × 46.8") in portrait 
orientation.  Posters may be accepted for research projects (for example 
from student dissertations) where no data has yet been collected.

(4) Gradiate Project Whirlwind. It is proposed that we hold a session of 1-
1/2 hours designed to enable current PhD researchers and graduate 
students (and recent graduates of such programmes) to make contact with 
others who may be facing similar issues in their research and receive advice 
from more experienced researchers. The session will comprise a series of 
strictly timed 5 minute slots where presenters might wish to speak about 
how they got access to sensitive data, how they overcame a particular 
analysis problem or how their research question changed over the course 
of their PhD. The five minute slots will be interspersed with 10 minute 
discussion sessions. To participate in the whirlwind no abstract is required, 
and you may of course submit an abstract for an individual presentation, 
colloquia or poster, alongside your participation in the whirlwind.  If you 
would be interested in participating in such a session please indicate your 
interest on the electronic admission form and we will contact you with further 
details nearer the conference.
