Meeting Description:

The Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA)
will hold its annual winter meeting jointly with the Linguistic Society of
America (LSA) in New Orleans, LA on January 2-5, 2020.  SSILA meetings allow
scholars to present on a wide range of topics centered on any aspect of
Indigenous American languages.


Call for Papers:

Call for Organized Session Proposals

Please note that there will be a call for regular papers and posters in the
coming weeks.  This call is only for organized 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 on May 1 at 11:59PM
(Hawaii-Aleutian time). 

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 15.  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 2020 Annual
Meeting, see the LSA website
(https://www.linguisticsociety.org/content/lsa-2020-annual-meeting).

All organized session proposals should be submitted electronically by e-mail
to SSILA Program Committee Administrator Martin Kohlberger
(conferences at ssila.org). 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 approximately 1000 words in length outlining the
purpose, motivation, length (either 1.5 hours or 3 hours), and justification
for the session, as well as the broader impacts (e.g., contribution to
community goals, social outcomes), as relevant.
(2) names and affiliations of all participants, their role (paper presenter,
introducer, moderator, discussant, etc.), and titles of papers; 
(3) a complete timetable (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) 200-500 word abstracts for each paper or poster presentation

All organizers and presenters must be members of SSILA in order for their
proposal to be accepted. The membership requirement may be waived for
co-authors, or for participants in organized sessions, who are from
disciplines other than those ordinarily represented by SSILA (linguistics and
linguistic anthropology). Requests for waivers of membership must be made by a
member of the Society to the SSILA Secretary Mary Linn (secretary at ssila.org).
