2nd Call for Papers & Sessions:

LAGB 2017:

The LAGB welcomes submissions on any topic in the field of linguistics. We
particularly welcome papers from areas of linguistics that have not been well
represented in previous meetings in order to capture the diversity of
linguistics research currently undertaken in the UK and beyond.

All abstracts will be blind-peer-reviewed by an international committee of
reviewers. Both members and non-members are invited to offer papers for the
meeting.  The length for papers delivered at the LAGB 2016 meeting is 20
minutes (plus 10 minutes' discussion).

The deadline for submissions is Saturday 1 April 2017. Notification of
acceptance will be made in late May 2017.

Abstracts can be submitted to be included in the general sessions or as part
of a themed session (see website for details).  

Call for individual papers:

Individual papers will be considered for presentation in the general session.

Abstracts must be no longer than two A4 pages with margins of at least 2.5cm
on all sides. Only the first two pages of any abstract submitted will be
considered – no appendices or separate pages for references can be accepted.
If the formatting instructions are not followed the abstract may not be
considered. You may use single spacing, with type no smaller than 12 points in
Times New Roman font. **Please note that these specifications have changed
compared with previous years. 

Abstracts must be submitted anonymously and should include no indication of
the author’s identity. The submitted files should be in PDF format. Any
phonetic characters should either be embedded in the PDF file, or be in the
Doulos SIL font, which can be downloaded for free from this site:
http://scripts.sil.org/DoulosSIL_download. Should your abstract be successful,
you will be asked to submit a named version to be made available part of an
online abstract booklet. 

Bursaries for student members:

At least five bursaries are available for student/unwaged presenters at LAGB
2017. These will be awarded on a meritocratic basis to the five (or more) most
highly rated abstracts by students/unwaged members. Authors will be asked when
submitting their abstract whether they wish to be considered for a bursary,
and to indicate whether they are a student or unwaged. 

How to submit an abstract:

Each person is permitted to submit a maximum of one single-authored and one
joint-authored paper, or two joint-authored papers. All abstracts should be
submitted electronically using EasyChair, which can be accessed at the
following address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lagb2017
