Meeting Description:

The 2017 annual meeting of the Linguistic Association of Canada and the United
States, the 44th LACUS Forum, will be held Monday, July 31 to Friday, August 4
at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.



Call for Papers:

Abstracts presenting empirically grounded investigations in any theoretical
framework into aspects of 'the cognitive science of language' and their
interactions will be especially welcome. While abstracts addressing the
conference theme are especially welcome, abstracts on all linguistic topics
and from all theoretical perspectives are welcome.

Abstracts must be submitted online. The abstract submission page, with
guidelines, can be found by following this link:

Under certain conditions, LACUS permits authors who cannot travel to the
conference to present via a real-time ('live') video connection. (LACUS
membership and conference registration required).

The Presidents' Prize, which includes a cash award of US $500, is awarded to
the most outstanding paper presented at a LACUS conference by a younger
scholar. For this purpose, most outstanding paper is defined as the paper
judged as the one making the greatest contribution to knowledge, and younger
scholar is defined as one who has received a doctor's degree within the past
five years and who has not yet advanced to a tenured position, or one who has
not yet received a doctor’s degree. The judging is done by the Presidents
Committee, consisting of the current President of LACUS and all former
presidents in attendance at the meeting.

A runner-up prize, with a cash award of US $100, is given to the next-best
paper (same criteria) by a young scholar (same definition).
