applied linguistics, second language acquisition, multimodality, language
policy and pidgin & creole languages.

Paper and poster presentations can be delivered in Spanish, Portuguese or

For students:

HLS 2018 is featuring the ''Professor Javier Gutiérrez-Rexach Scholarship'' to
honor the memory of a great linguist, who unexpectedly passed away in 2016 at
the young age of 49.

Professor Gutiérrez-Rexach contributed immensely to our field and was among
one of the first organizers of the Hispanic Linguistics Symposium back in
1998, when he co-organized, with Professor Fernando Martínez-Gil, the second
edition of this conference at the Ohio State University. 

The scholarship will cover conference fees and provide a modest award to the
winner. Students are invited to submit their abstracts to HLS 2018. 

When applying for this scholarship, please clearly indicate in your abstract
that you are a student applying for the Professor Javier Gutiérrez-Rexach
Scholarship.

A committee of experts will review the applications and the best abstract will
be awarded the scholarship.
