more than 1000 words excluding references).
(ii) A (provisional) list of workshop participants and their provisional
abstracts (max. 300 words per abstract excluding references).

The format of the workshops should be organized around 30 minute slots (20
min. presentation, 6 min. discussion, 4 min. for speaker changes). Workshops
should contain either 10 or 15 slots (1 or 1.5 days). Each workshop ideally
comprises:

1. An introductory paper by the convenor(s) or by a keynote speaker, which
summarizes previous research, specifies the approach(es) to be taken and sets
the scope of the papers to be presented.
2. Eight papers (1 day) or thirteen papers (1.5 day).
3. A slot for a final discussion on the topics covered by the papers,
methodological issues and questions for future research.

Further details can be discussed with the Conference Manager
(sle at univ-tlse2.fr).

Workshop convenors are encouraged to distribute a CFPs in the LinguistList
(please, announce your CFP as a session of SLE 2017) and other fora on the
linguistic area of the workshop (see submissions guidelines).

Workshop proposals should be sent to the chair of workshops Salomé Gutiérrez
Morales (salogumo at gmail.com). The deadline is 25 November 2016. Notification
of acceptance/rejection will be by 15 December 2016. After a workshop proposal
has been accepted, the convenors will be requested to invite all preliminary
workshop participants to submit their full abstracts by 15 January 2017 to the
general call for papers. Accepted workshop proposals will be published on the
conference webpage. Other authors interested in the workshop may submit papers
to the workshop at the conference general call. Finally, all the abstracts
submitted to the workshop at the general call will be reviewed individually by
the Programme Committee and the workshop convenors. Note that keynote papers
within workshops count as ordinary papers.

Submission Guidelines: General Session Papers: 

The deadline for all abstracts is 15 January 2017. Notification of acceptance
will be given by 31 March 2017.

Abstracts are submitted via Easychair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sle2017). Some guidelines about how
to submit your paper can be found at http://sle2017.eu/submission-guidelines.

Abstracts should clearly state research questions, approach, method, data and
(expected) results. They should not contain the names of the presenters, nor
their affiliations or addresses, or any other information that may reveal
their authorship. They should not exceed 500 words (excluding references).
Abstracts should have the same title as the entry submitted via Easychair. 

Whereas general session papers can deal with any topic in linguistics,
workshop papers should take into account the topic of the workshop proposal,
and are usually pre-selected by the workshop convenors. If the abstract is by
a keynote speaker at a workshop, please insert “keynote paper” in your
abstract so that the paper can be reviewed as an introductory paper to a
workshop. A list of workshops will be found on the conference webpage after
notification of workshop rejection / acceptance (deadline 15 December).

Submitting Multiple Papers:

One person may submit a single-authored abstract, a single-authored abstract
and a co-authored one (not as first author), or two co-authored abstracts
(only one as first author). 

Presentations will last 20 minutes, allowing 6 min. for discussion, 4 min. for
speaker and changes. 

Presenting a Poster:

The SLE 2017 meetings will have one or two poster sessions for both senior and
junior researchers. In order to foster interaction, all other sessions will be
suspended during the poster session and will be displayed in a gathering area.
Posters may remain available during the rest of the conference. The maximum
size of the poster is 1.20 m (vertical) x 1 m (horizontal). For more
information about how to make a good poster, click here.

Further details can be found on the conference website: http://sle2017.eu/
