Meeting Description:

The 2019 Annual Meeting of the Australian Linguistic Society: Celebrating
Diversity
Location: Macquarie University, Sydney

The 50th annual conference of the Australian Linguistic Society will be hosted
by Macquarie University in Sydney, from Wednesday, 11 December, 2019 to Friday
13 December, 2019. An associated half-day of preconference workshops is
scheduled for Tuesday 10 December, 2019. The theme for the 50th ALS conference
is Celebrating Diversity, in acknowledgement of the United Nations’
International Year of Indigenous Languages (IYIL2019). We will thus celebrate
the diversity of participation in linguistics, as well as linguistic diversity
itself. Human diversity, especially linguistic diversity, has been central to
our evolutionary fitness and is fundamental to our continued survival on this
planet. We must embrace this diversity if we are to properly understand our
human faculties, nurture it and celebrate it for what it has brought us and
where it will eventually take us.

We welcome a wide range of submissions across the languages of the world -
Indigenous languages (from Australia and elsewhere), non-Indigenous global
languages, migrant languages, sign languages, pidgins, creoles and mixed
languages. As the Society hosts General Linguistics conferences, we invite
submissions from all linguistic subfields, for presentations in the general
sessions (20 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions), for posters, and for
presentations within one of themed panels or preconference workshops listed
below. Abstracts that are deemed to be outside the scope of the relevant panel
or workshop will be considered for inclusion in the general sessions or poster
sessions, and reviewed by the ALS program committee.

Main conference themed panels:

1. Language Variation and Change – Australia 4 (LVC-A 4). Organisers: Celeste
Rodríguez Louro, Catherine Travis and James Walker.
2. Conversational narratives within small communities. Organisers: Lesley
Stirling, Joe Blythe, Ilana Mushin and Rod Gardner.
3. Grammatical Relations in Australian Languages. Organisers: Thomas Ennever
and Mitchell Browne.

Pre-conference workshops:

1. Linguistics and Teaching Professionals. Organiser: Jean Mulder.
2. Typical and atypical language development in the multilingual and
multicultural context. 
Organisers: Weifeng Han and Chris Brebner.
3. Teaching Linguistics in Australian Universities. Organiser: Nick Wilson.

Call for Papers:

All abstract submissions are due by Sunday 4 August, 2019.

Abstracts for the regular talks and poster presentations will be anonymously
reviewed by the ALS Program Committee. Acceptances notified:   Early September
Each abstract must be a maximum of 1 A4 page of text including title. The
abstract may also include 1 additional A4 page of examples, figures,
references etc. Please prepare your abstract in Word (as a single .doc or
.docx file), or pdf, in Times New Roman 12 point font, with 2cm on all
margins. On the additional page, references only may appear in 10 point font.
Examples, figures, tables must appear in 12 point font. The abstract must be
anonymous. It should not include any author names or affiliations. 

Please ensure you remove all identifying information from the document
properties.

Each abstract should be submitted online via the ALS EasyChair website:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=als2019

If you do not have an EasyChair account yet, you will have to create one for
the purpose of this conference. To submit an abstract, you will need to both:

1. upload your abstract as one anonymous Word or PDF document and 
2. paste the title and main text of your abstract into a text box within
EasyChair.

As part of the EasyChair online submission form, you will also be asked for
author & affiliation information, title, abstract, keywords and topics, your
preferred presentation type (oral or poster presentation) and which
panel/workshop, if any, you would like to present within. We strongly
encourage a poster submission if your dataset lends itself well to graphical
presentation, in-depth personal discussion. If you are submitting to a panel
or workshops, please indicate if you would like the abstract to be also
considered for the general sessions, in the event that it is not accepted by
panel organisers. 

Abstract Review Criteria:

Each abstract will receive a general overall evaluation. The program committee
will also consider the degree to which each abstract:

- situates the study within its research context and demonstrates a clear
theoretical, methodological and/or practical contribution to the field,
- coherently articulates its topic and objectives,
- outlines the data being analysed and how it will be analysed,
- is of potential interest to an ALS audience.
