In addition to the General Session, we will also host a Special Session with Keynote Address on Indigenous Languages and Linguistics on Saturday afternoon.

- Place the title of your paper at the top of the document

Submission Guidelines:

All undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students are welcome to submit an abstract. Please submit your anonymous abstract electronically at http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/pla2013 by 11:59pm EST on Friday, February 1, 2013. Questions can be sent to plasymposium at gmail.com. 

Qualities of a Good Abstract:

Overall, an abstract should: 

- Condense and extract the essential qualities of your research
- Summarize the content of the presentation, not the intent of the writer(s) 
- Contain only that which you are specifically reporting in the study 
- Include the (i) principal objectives/purpose and scope of the work, (ii) methodology, (iii) results, (iv) conclusions

Specifically, an abstract should:

- Assume the reviewers will be knowledgeable in linguistics, but not necessarily the specific area of study addressed (e.g., experiencer predicates)
- Clearly identify the phenomenon under investigation
- Provide logical connections between elements of the argument
- Use examples to illustrate the point
- Show originality and/or distinctive treatment of the topic
- Offer impact to the field and further our understanding of the topic
