10 February 2017

Abstracts for 20-minute presentations (+10 minutes discussion) on any area
pertinent to the linguistic study of in any area of language contact involving
Spanish and/or Portuguese are invited. This includes mixed languages, emerging

English. The deadline for abstract submission is January 10, 2017.

The format of the abstract must adhere to the requirements specified in
sections A and B below: 

A. Abstract: electronic format

1. Authors must carefully follow the directions concerning the organization of
the abstract, detailed in section B below. 
2. The abstract (including examples and excluding title, glosses and
references) must not exceed 400 words. Please note the word count at the
bottom of the abstract. 
3. Abstracts should be submitted via Easyabs
http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/acblpe2017

B. Organization of the abstract 

Many abstracts are rejected because they omit crucial information rather than
because of errors in what they include. A suggested outline for abstracts is
as follows: 

1. Choose a title that clearly indicates the topic of the paper and is no more
than one line long. 
2. In the abstract, state the topic clearly. 
3. Make reference to prior work on the topic. 
4. When essential to the clarity of the argumentation, present linguistic data
(with glosses). Explain abbreviations at their first occurrence. 
5. If the paper presents the results of experiments, but collection of results
is not yet complete, present the provisional results in detail. Also indicate
the nature of the experimental design and the specific hypothesis tested. 
6. State the relevance of your hypothesis to past work. Describe the analysis
in as much detail as possible. Avoid vague or unsubstantiated statements. 
7. State the contribution to linguistic research made by the analysis. 
8. Citation of the relevant literature is essential within the abstract.
However, the inclusion of a list of references at the end of the abstract is
not obligatory. 

Abstracts will be assessed on the basis of the following three criteria: 

1. The relevance and significance of the proposed topic and/or the originality
of the study. 
2. The argumentation (including the clarity of the argument and the
results/conclusions). 
3. Knowledge of the relevant research literature and theory.
