Meeting Description:

The Society for Pidgin and Creole Linguistics will hold its annual summer
meeting from June 17-19, 2019 at the University of Lisbon, Portugal, in
conjunction with the annual meeting of the Association of Portuguese and
Spanish-lexified Creoles (ACBLPE). Abstracts on the phonology, morphology,
syntax, semantics, lexicon, or any other feature pertinent to the linguistic
study of Pidgins, Creoles and other contact varieties are invited for
anonymous review. 


Call for Papers:

An abstract of approximately 500 words should be submitted using EasyAbs. The
link is http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/spclsummer2019 .  After your title,
clearly identify the area in which your submission should be reviewed (e.g.
morphology, sociolinguistics). Please do not include your name or other
revelatory information in the abstract.  Individuals who are unable to access
EasyAbs should email their abstract as an MS Word document to
spclsociety at gmail.com. Include ''SPCL Lisbon Abstract'' in the subject line. 

Abstract submission deadline is February 24, 2019. Acceptance notification
will be sent by March 11. 

Organization of the Abstract:

Many abstracts are rejected because they omit crucial information rather than
because of errors in what they include. A suggested outline for abstracts
follows:

1. Choose a title that clearly indicates the topic of the paper and is no more
than one line long;
2. In the abstract, state the topic clearly;
3. Make reference to prior work on the topic; 
4. When essential to the clarity of the argumentation, present linguistic data
(with glosses).  Explain abbreviations at their first occurrence.  
5. If the paper presents the results of experiments, but collection of results
is not yet complete,  present the provisional results in detail. Also indicate
the nature of the experimental design and the specific hypothesis tested. 
6. State the relevance of your hypothesis to past work. Describe the Analysis
in as much detail  as possible. Avoid vague or unsubstantiated statements.  
7. State the contribution to linguistic research made by the analysis.  
8. Citation of the relevant literature is essential within the abstract;
however, the inclusion of a  list of references at the end of the abstract is
not obligatory.  

Abstracts will be assessed on the basis of the following three criteria: 

1. The relevance and significance of the proposed topic and/or the originality
of the study.  
2. The argumentation (including the clarity of the argument and the
results/conclusions).  
3. Knowledge of the relevant research literature and theory.

Registration and hotel accommodation in Lisbon are arranged through the
ACBLPE. The conference website is
