Meeting Description:

The Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA)
is planning to hold its next annual winter meeting jointly with the Linguistic
Society of America (LSA) in Denver, CO on January 5-8, 2023. SSILA meetings
allow scholars to present on a wide range of topics centered on any aspect of
Indigenous American languages.

It should be noted that depending on the progression of the global COVID-19
pandemic over the next few months, the SSILA Executive Committee may decide to
hold the meeting in an online or hybrid (in-person and online) format instead.


Call for Papers:

Call for Organized Session Proposals
(Please note that there will be a general call for papers in May. This call is
only for organized session proposals.)

SSILA welcomes proposals for organized sessions. This is an opportunity for
scholars to present and/or discuss contributions that revolve around a single
theme, including (but not restricted to) shared typological, methodological or
areal perspectives. These sessions may be in the form of a symposium (several
presentations focused on a specific topic), a workshop (presentations with
invited discussants), a tutorial (intensive instruction on a specific topic),
a datablitz (a session composed of many very short presentations), and other
types of sessions with a clear, specific, and coherent rationale. 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 reviewed by the members of the SSILA Program Committee and they
will not be reviewed anonymously.

Submission Instructions:

The deadline for receipt of organized session proposals is on May 5, 2022 at
11:59PM (Hawaii-Aleutian time). 

Authors of successful SSILA session proposals may also wish to submit their
proposals to the LSA for co-sponsorship. The SSILA committee will make a
decision about these proposals before the LSA submission deadline, which is
expected to be in mid-May.

All organized session proposals should be submitted 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 are usually expected to be submitted in English, but if you would
like to submit a proposal in a different language, please get in touch with
Martin Kohlberger by April 15th to see if the necessary reviewing arrangements
can be made.

The proposal must include the following information:
(1) a session title;
(2) a statement clarifying whether the session is intended as a SSILA session
only or as a joint SSILA/LSA session;
(3) the type of session (e.g. symposium, workshop, tutorial, datablitz, etc.);
(4) the name, affiliation and e-mail addresses of organizers;
(5) the session length (either 1.5 hours or 3 hours);
(6) a session abstract of up to 1000 words outlining the purpose and
motivation for the session, as well as the social impacts
(https://www.ssila.org/social-impact-and-outcomes);
(7) the names and affiliations of all participants, their role (paper
presenter, introducer, moderator, discussant, etc.), and the titles of papers;
(8) a complete timetable (note that organized sessions do not have to follow
the 20-minute paper + 10-minute discussion format, but the presentation format
should be clearly described);
(9) 200-500 word abstracts for each paper or poster presentation

All organizers and presenters must be members of SSILA
(https://www.ssila.org/en/membership-information) in order for their proposal
to be accepted. The membership requirement may be waived for Indigenous
community scholars and language practitioners. It may also 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). Waivers can be requested by contacting the SSILA Secretary,
Mary Linn (secretary at ssila.org).
