Meeting Description:

Semantics and Linguistic Theory (SALT) is the premiere North American
conference on semantics in linguistic theory.  The 31th SALT will take place
on May 7-9 at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island.  We anticipate that
it will be wholly or mostly online, although the final decision on that will
be made by early November.  There will definitely be at least the option for
online presentations and posters, so potential presenters should keep this in
mind. The online platform will be Zoom.  Our invited speakers are David
Barner, Seth Cable,  Elin McCready, and Roumyana Pancheva.

Call for Papers: 

We invite submission of abstracts for 30-minute oral presentations (with an
additional 10 minutes for questions) or posters on any topic in natural
language semantics with relevance to linguistic theory. Submission Details:
Abstracts are due at 11:59 PM, Eastern Standard Time on the night of December
6, and should be submitted via Easychair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=salt31. We expect to notify authors of
their acceptance in early February. 

Requirements: Abstracts must be anonymous. The main text should be at most 2
pages (US Letter or A4) in length, with an optional third page for glossed
examples, references, or figures.  (Note, use a third page for examples only
when they are non-English examples and are glossed.) The abstract should use a
12pt font and 1 inch margins (for US Letter) or 3 cm margins (for A4) on all
four sides. The abstract must be submitted as a single PDF file. These
limitations will be strictly enforced. In addition to the intellectual
interest of the abstract, clarity and readability will also be taken into
account in reviewing.  Submitters should indicate what is the language,
languages, or language family studied in the paper (including the case of
abstracts on English). 

SALT 31 will feature a poster session. Poster presentations will be published
as regular papers in the proceedings.  Poster presenters will give short
lightening talks ahead of the poster session. The exact format of the poster
session and the lightening talks will be announced closer to the time as we
explore options for taking full advantage of the virtual format.  

Policies: Authors may be involved in at most two abstracts and may be the sole
author of at most one abstract. SALT does not accept papers that at the time
of the conference have been published or have been accepted for publication.
In addition, preference will be given to presentations that are not duplicated
at other major conferences. If the work or a close variant of it is under
submission to or accepted for publication or presentation in any other major
venue (such as a national or international conference or a journal/book
chapter), we request that the authors create a small section titled
“Additional Submission” after the references at the end of the abstract. This
section should include the other venue(s) for which the work has been
submitted, the status of those submissions, and an indication of any major
aspects of the SALT abstract not submitted elsewhere. We require that authors
update us by email if/when there is a relevant change in the status of other
submissions. SALT 31 has a code of conduct and by submitting an abstract and
by attending the conference, you are agreeing to abide by the code. Please
consult the conference website for detailed information.
