Linguistic Field(s): Clinical Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 28-Feb-2018 

Meeting Description:

ICPLA conferences are the main venue for presenting work on the interaction of
linguistics and phonetics with disordered language and speech. All aspects of
communication disorders are welcome as long as there is a linguistic or
phonetic aspect to the research. Panels, oral presentations, and posters can
be submitted.


Call for Papers:

Panel Proposals and Abstracts for individual research papers are invited for
the 17th ICPLA Conference to be held in Malta between 23 and 25 October 2018. 

(I) Panel Proposals

To encourage collaboration and topical coherence within the field of Clinical
Linguistics and Phonetics, Panel Proposals on any topic relevant to the
Conference should be submitted by 31 January 2018. Panel Proposals should
consist of a brief outline (300 words) of the theme and purpose of the Panel,
with an indication of the people the organiser/s anticipate/s as speakers in
the Panel. Panels are collections of 3-5 individual paper presentations that
relate to a narrowly defined topic of interest. Panel Organisers are asked to
avoid, if at all possible, restricting their Panel to an in-group; openness
and diversity of perspectives is compatible with topical coherence. 

Accepted Panels will be given a time slot of 90 minutes. A list of accepted
Panels will be posted on the website by 25 March 2018.

The Organiser of a Panel is the person responsible for securing the
cooperation of all the participants who are to be involved in the Panel and
for deciding on the internal structure of the Panel. 

Access the Online Panel Proposal Form at
https://www.um.edu.mt/events/icpla2018/about/abstractform.

 
(II) Submission of Abstracts

Abstracts for contributions to Panels (subject to the Panel Organiser's prior
approval) and Individual Abstracts for Oral Presentations and Posters on any
topic relevant to the Conference theme must be submitted no later than 28
February 2018. The Scientific Committee reserves the right to change the
author's option. 

All Abstracts will be evaluated through peer-reviewing and authors will be
notified of acceptance by 25 March 2018. Acceptance of Abstract will be based
on proof of Registration by at least one of the authors. In case of multiple
authors Conference Registration of the presenter is essential.

Access the Online Abstract Submission Form at
https://www.um.edu.mt/events/icpla2018/about/abstractform. 

Deadlines:

- Panel Proposal Submission Deadline: 31 January 2018.
- Accepted Panels will be posted on the website by 25 March 2018. 
- Deadline for Submission of Abstracts for Individual Oral/Poster
Presentations: 28 February 2018.
- Abstract Acceptance Notification: 25 March 2018.

Guidelines for Submission of Abstracts: 

- Abstracts should consist of 300 words max. and be based on research that is
completed or clearly in progress, with a well-formulated research question and
a good description of the type(s) of data used (if the work is empirical), the
theoretical and methodological approach and the results/conclusions.  

- For Posters, a clear description of a research design may be acceptable, as
this can lead to useful discussions in the early stages of a project. Posters
will be up for one whole day. During that day, there will be a specific time
slot during which the presenters will be present beside their poster for
discussion. 

- For Oral Presentations, 20-minute slots will be available (including
discussion time).  

- It is the individual submitter’s choice to submit for an Oral Presentation
or a Poster. However, the Organising Committee may allocate your presentation
to a Poster Session rather than an Oral Session.  

The official language of the Conference is English. Posters and Oral
Presentations must therefore be in English.
