Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 22-Jan-2021 

Meeting Description:

The Manchester Forum in Linguistics (mFiL) is an annual international
conference which brings together new researchers from every field of
linguistics. The aim of the event is to share current work, results and
problems and to provide information and advice for postgraduate students,
post-doctoral scholars, and early-career researchers. This includes the
presentation of papers, posters, a careers panel and plenary talks. This
eighth installment of mFiL will be held online on 28-29 April 2021.
Registration for the conference will be free.

Call for Papers: 

Submissions for oral and poster presentations in all areas of linguistics are
welcomed. Preference will be given to abstracts which contain implications for
linguistic theory or employ a novel methodology. 

Oral presentations will be delivered live online. Please note, the time zones
of all speakers will be accommodated in the scheduling of the conference.
Talks should last 20 minutes with an additional 10 minutes allocated for
questions, comments and discussion. 

Poster presentations will be presented during a dedicated session on the
schedule. Accepted authors will be invited to submit a short video explanation
of their poster (up to 3 minutes), which will be available in advance. During
the scheduled poster session, authors will interact with attendees in break
out rooms. 

The deadline for submissions is 22 January 2021 (midnight GMT). Authors are
permitted to submit a maximum of one single-authored paper and one co-authored
paper or a total of two co-authored papers.

Abstracts should be up to a maximum of 750 words, including references and
optional extras such as glossed examples, tables, figures, etc. The abstract
title, author name(s), institution(s) and e-mail address(es) are excluded from
the word count. It is not necessary to specify the word count in your
abstract. 

Authors are asked to use one of the templates provided on the website at
https://mfilconf.wordpress.com/call/ to produce a PDF to be submitted for
consideration. The format of these templates is an A4-sized page with 2.5cm
margins on all sides using a single-spaced 12pt serif font, specifically
Junicode (freely available to download here:
http://junicode.sourceforge.net/). Authors may alternatively use another,
similar serif font. 

Abstracts must be fully anonymous. To this end, do not include your name or
institution in the text or metadata of the submitted file. Please also make
sure that any references to your own work are in the third person. If your
abstract is accepted, you will be asked to supply an editable, revised,
non-anonymous version for inclusion in the book of abstracts. 

Submit abstracts via EasyChair at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mfil2021. If you have not previously
registered with EasyChair, you will need to do so in order to submit an
abstract. Upon submission, you will be asked whether you would like your
abstract to be considered for an oral presentation, poster presentation, or
either of the two. 

Best-abstract competition: 
This year, a prize will be offered to the best single-authored or co-authored
abstract.
