Meeting Description:

The 10th Biennial Conference of the Association for Linguistic Typology will be held in Leipzig, 15-18 August 2013. It is organized by the Linguistics Department of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.

More information about the conference can be found at:

Call for Papers:

Abstracts on any topic in typology are invited for oral presentations, posters, and a limited number of theme sessions. Non-members of ALT may submit abstracts but will be expected to join ALT in order to present a paper at the meeting.

Deadline for receipt of abstracts: January 15, 2013 (papers/posters) or December 10, 2012 (theme sessions: see below)
Notification of acceptance: February 28, 2013

There may be up to four theme sessions, and two poster sessions. Papers are anonymously reviewed; in line with previous meetings, the committee will strive to ensure that selection is rigorous but that acceptance rate is not too low.

Categories of Submission:

(1) Oral presentation (single or multiple author): Timing will depend on the number of papers accepted for presentation and will most probably range between 20 and 25 minutes per paper, plus 10 minutes for discussion.

(2) Poster: One or more poster sessions will be organized, depending on demand.

(3) Oral/poster: This means you prefer an oral presentation but can also present a poster. If there are more good abstracts than we can accommodate, the Programme Committee will schedule some as posters. If you choose either category 'poster' or 'oral/poster', this will probably increase your chances of acceptance.

(4) Theme session: Theme sessions will in general consist of three to seven oral presentations on a common theme. They are proposed by a theme-session convenor. Proposals consist of a maximally 500-word description plus a preliminary list of up to six potential authors (with titles) who have expressed serious interest in participating. If accepted, a theme session will be listed in the final call for abstracts (late December 2012) so that linguists who were not initially contacted by the convenor also have a chance to participate. Abstracts submitted to a theme session will be evaluated jointly by the Programme Committee and the convenor.

How to Submit an Abstract (or Theme Session Proposal):

Send your abstract as a pdf email attachment to: alt10 at eva.mpg.de
Subject header: (your name) ALT 10 abstract
Include these things in the body of the email:

- Authors' names

- Contact information: email, phone, fax

Note: One individual may be involved in a maximum of two abstracts (maximum of one as sole author), regardless of category (oral, poster, theme-session talk).

Abstract Specifications:

Maximum length: 500 words or 1 single-spaced page.
Please put this information at the top of your abstract:

- Abstract title
- Abstract category (oral, poster, oral/poster)
- Theme session (if applicable)

Format: If at all possible, please send your abstract as a pdf.
