Call for Workshops:

Proposal Submission Deadline: 15 October 2016

The Association for Linguistic Typology (ALT) invites proposals for workshops
to be held in conjunction with ACT 2017. We solicit proposals on any topic of
interest to the ALT community including focused workshops on issues of
regional interest, particular linguistic phenomenon and developments in
methodology. Workshops will be held at the Australian National University on
15 December 2017, the day following ALT 2017.

Proposals will be reviewed by the ALT 2017 Abstract Review Committee.

Accepted workshops will be announced with the general ALT 2017 call on 15
December 2016. Workshop organizers should anticipate approximately one-third
of their workshop slots to be filled by abstracts solicited through the open
call. Abstracts solicited through the open call will undergo a blind review by
both the workshop organizers and members of the Abstract Review Committee. 

Proposals for workshops should contain:

- A title and brief (1-2 pages) description of the workshop topic and content.
- The desired workshop length (full day or half day), the desired format and
length of presentations, and an estimated number of the workshop presenters,
both for the selected participants and for those solicited through the open
call.
- The names, affiliations and emails of the organizer(s), with a short
statement of their research interests and areas of expertise.
- The names and affiliations of confirmed or tentative workshop presenters.
- A description of special requirements for technical needs.
