Meeting Description:

We are pleased to invite talk proposals for Arizona Linguistics Circle 14. The
Arizona Linguistics Circle is an annual graduate student-run conference held
at the University of Arizona. The theme of this year’s conference is Language
Technology and Media, that is work that employs media technologies or research
involving language in media. However, abstracts from all areas of linguistics
are welcome and encouraged. Our goal is to foster a deeper appreciation for
linguistics while providing a healthy environment for academic discussion. 

This year's keynote speakers will include Sonja Lanehart (University of
Arizona), Ellen Riloff (University of Utah), and Gareth Roberts (University of
Pennsylvania).

Call for Papers: 

The Arizona Linguistics Circle is an annual graduate student-run conference
held at the University of Arizona. The theme of this year's conference is
Language Technology and Media, that is work that employs media technologies or
research that investigates language in media. However, abstracts from all
areas of linguistics are welcome and encouraged. Our goal is to provide a
welcoming yet constructive environment for linguistic inquiry and the
dissemination of new and continuing linguistic research.

Each year, ALC features three invited speakers whose research aligns with the
conference theme. This year's keynote speakers are Sonja Lanehart (University
of Arizona), Ellen Riloff (University of Utah), and Gareth Roberts (University
of Pennsylvania).

The conference will be held at the University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ.

Submission Guidelines: 
Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks with 10-minute question periods to
follow. All papers must be original. Submissions are limited to one individual
and one joint abstract per author. Abstracts should be a maximum of 500 words
in length not including keywords, references, figures, and tableaux. Abstracts
should include some discussion of data and indicate that the project is of
reasonable depth. All abstracts should be anonymous: abstracts which contain
author-identifying information will be rejected. Abstracts can be submitted
via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/account/signin?l=IjMcgNkFXCJW8K6raBgq1I

Upon acceptance, presenters will be asked to submit a version of your abstract
with author-identifying information included. This will be shared on the
conference website. Presenters will also have the opportunity to publish their
Conference Proceedings in the Coyote Papers, LingCirlce's ongoing publication
series.

Important Dates and Deadlines: 
UPDATED abstract submission deadline: July 27, 2020
Notification of acceptance: August 24, 2020
Conference dates: October 16-18, 2020

The COVID pandemic has created uncertainty about how ALC14 will take place.
The organizing committee is currently planning the conference with the
expectation that it will be held in-person in October. However, depending on
what the situation looks like as we approach the conference dates, we may
explore the possibility of moving the conference to a virtual format. The
final decision will be made in August or early September with special
attention paid to the preferences of the accepted authors.
