Meeting Description:

Semantics and Linguistic Theory (SALT) is the premiere North American
conference on semantics as a part of linguistic theory. The 27th SALT will
take place on May 12–14, 2017, at The University of Maryland, College Park.
Our invited speakers are Pranav Anand, Chris Barker, Sarah Murray and Maribel
Romero. 

In addition on May 11 there will be a pre-SALT workshop, “Meaning and
Distribution”, with invited speakers Angelika Kratzer, Beth Levin and Jeffrey
Lidz, on the topic of observed correlations between syntactic and semantic
classes. We invite critical discussion of traditional questions: how do such
correlations help us understand language acquisition, variation or invariance
across languages, or relations between linguistic and nonlinguistic cognition?


Call for Papersː

We invite submission of abstracts for 30-minute oral presentations (with an
additional 10 minutes for questions) or posters on any topic in natural
language semantics with relevance to linguistic theory. The workshop on
Meaning and Distribution has the same submission and reviewing process as the
main session.

Submission Details: 

Abstracts are due at 11:59PM, Eastern Standard Time, on the night of Sunday
December 4, 2016, and should be submitted via Easychair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=salt27 .

Requirements: 

Abstracts must be anonymous. The main text should be at most 2 pages (US
Letter or A4) in length, including examples, with an optional 3rd page for
references. The abstract should use a 12pt font and 1 inch margins (for US
Letter) or 3 cm margins (for A4) on all four sides. The abstract must be
submitted as a single PDF file. These limitations will be strictly enforced.
In addition to the intellectual interest of the abstract, clarity and
readability will also be taken into account in reviewing. 

SALT 27 will feature a poster session. Poster presentations will be published
as regular papers in the proceedings. Poster presenters will be asked to give
a short “lightning round” presentation prior to the poster session.

Policies: 

Authors may be involved in at most two abstracts and may be the sole author of
at most one abstract.

SALT does not accept papers that at the time of the conference have been
published or have been accepted for publication. In addition, preference will
be given to presentations that are not duplicated at other major conferences. 

If the work or a close variant of it is under submission to or accepted for
publication or presentation in any other major venue (such as a national or
international conference or a journal/book chapter), we request that the
authors create a small section titled “Additional Submission” after the
references at the end of the paper. This section should include the other
venue(s) for which the work has been submitted, the status of those
submissions, and an indication of any major aspects of the SALT abstract not
submitted elsewhere. We require that authors update us by email if/when there
is a relevant change in the status of other submissions.
