Meeting Description:

The Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA)
is interested in the scientific study of the languages of the native peoples
of North, Central and South America. The annual winter meeting of SSILA will
be held jointly with the annual meeting of the Linguistic Society of America
in New York City, NY on January 3-6, 2019.

Call for Session Proposals:

SSILA welcomes proposals for organized sessions.  This is an opportunity for
researchers to present a series of presentations that revolve around a single
typological, methodological or areal theme.  The presentations must be based
on original research focusing on the linguistic study of the indigenous
languages of the Americas.

Organized sessions involve more than one scholar and are expected to make a
distinctive and creative contribution to the meeting. Proposals for organized
sessions are NOT reviewed anonymously. These sessions may include several
presentations focused on a specific theme, a major presentation with invited
discussants, and other types of sessions with a clear, specific, and coherent
rationale. 

Abstract Submission:

The deadline for receipt of organized session proposals is midnight (the end
of the day) May 1. 

Authors of successful SSILA session proposals may wish to submit their
proposals to the LSA for co-sponsorship.  Please note that the LSA deadline
for organized sessions is on May 15th.  The SSILA committee will make a
decision about these proposals before the LSA submission deadline.  For more
information on submitting organized session proposals to the LSA 2018 Annual
Meeting, see the LSA website
(http://www.linguisticsociety.org/content/lsa-2018-annual-meeting-call-organiz
ed-session-proposals).

All organized session proposals should be submitted electronically by e-mail
to SSILA Program Committee Administrator Martin Kohlberger
(ssila2019nyc at gmail.com). Any queries prior to the submission deadline can
also be sent to this e-mail address.  Proposals should be submitted in
English.

The proposal must indicate whether it is intended to be a joint SSILA/LSA
session or a SSILA session, and should include: 

(1) a session abstract outlining the purpose, motivation, length (maximum: 3
hours), and justification for the session
(2) names of all participants, including discussants, and titles of papers
(3) a complete account, including timetable, of what each participant will do.
Note that organized sessions do not have to follow the 20-minute paper +
10-minute discussion format. However, the presentation format should be
clearly described
(4) a maximum one-page abstract for each participant, 11pt or 12pt font,
1-inch margins; references can be on a second page.

The entire proposal should be submitted in a single PDF document.
