New this year, the general session will feature a poster session presenting

Submission Guidelines:

Abstracts are due by November 1, 2016 at 11:59 PST.  Please submit all
abstracts through EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?key=43564895.MtbsF9bXfPDaKU9Z). 
Authors will be notified of acceptance by December 1.  

Authors may maximally submit one single-authored abstract and one co-authored
abstract. Abstracts, including titles, data, and examples, must fit onto 1
page with 1-inch margins and 12pt font. References may be included on a
separate page. Abstracts must be anonymous; omit names or phrasing (e.g. my
paper (Author 20XX) ) that would otherwise reveal author identity.

abstract as the author of the cited paper are acceptable.

Please fill out all required fields in EasyChair and check at least one box
indicating a topic corresponding to the linguistic subfield(s) of greatest
relevance to your abstract. If you are an undergraduate submitting an abstract
for the poster session, please follow the same submission process, but be sure
to additionally check the ''Undergraduate Poster Session'' option on
EasyChair. All submissions will be anonymized for review.
