Meeting Description:

The Annual Conference on African Linguistics (ACAL) was first convened in 1970
and has since been held every year at various sites throughout North America.
The affiliated Association of Contemporary African Linguistics, founded in
2013 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity, has the same mission: to
advance and sustain the linguistic study of African languages. The Association
(with the same acronym) seeks to continue and provide stability to that
tradition and to the conference itself. The Association solicits support from
ACAL’s attendees to guarantee the conference’s stability into the future.


Call for Papers:

We are accepting abstracts for the 51st Annual Conference on African
Linguistics, to be held at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA
from 05-21-2020 (Thursday) to 05-24-2020 (Sunday). ACAL51 welcomes papers on
any area of African linguistics. The general conference will consist of talks,
poster sessions, and plenary talks by prominent researchers on African
languages. 

Deadline :

The deadline for submission is 12-15-2020 (Sunday) at 23:59:59 Eastern Time
(UTC-4). Please note that late submissions will not be considered.
International participants are urged to submit their abstracts at the earliest
date possible because of visa requirements. We plan to notify participants
about the outcome of their submission by early February.

Review Process :

Abstracts will be subject to blind reviews with special attention paid to
originality, quality, and relevance. Twenty minutes will be assigned for each
presentation, to be followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer period. Poster
presentations will be scheduled at dedicated times; there shall be no
simultaneous oral sessions during the poster presentations.

Abstract Guidelines:

All abstracts should be anonymous and written in English with glosses or
translations for words or examples in any other language. Each abstract,
including the title and any data in figures or tables, must not exceed 500
words. Data must include interlinear glosses following the Leipzig Glossing
Rules. The 500-word abstract should be single-spaced and in a Unicode font no
smaller than 11 point, and in .pdf or .doc/.docx format. Abstracts must be
submitted electronically via Easychair.

Submission Instructions:

Submissions are restricted to one single-authored paper and one co-authored
paper per individual. The abstract must be submitted online using the
EasyChair abstract submission website, which will provide additional
instructions. If you have never used EasyChair before, you will need to
register. Should you have any problems submitting your abstract through
EasyChair, please contact acal51rutgers at gmail.com. Please note that in order
to present a paper or poster at ACAL 51, you must be a member of the
Association of Contemporary African Linguistics (ACAL). To pay ACAL membership
fees, please go to the ACAL organization website. Membership fees are
collected by the ACAL organization, not the conference organizers.
