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.
