Abstracts for papers on the phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, lexicon,
or any other issue pertinent to the linguistic study of Pidgins, Creoles and
other contact varieties are invited for anonymous review.

Panel proposals: Ideally, there should be no more than four papers in each
panel. Each panel participant should submit an abstract and include the name
of the panel in their abstract. Panel organizers should submit the following
information to spclsociety at gmail.com: The name of the panel, a summary of the
panel, the name of each member & their affiliation, the presentation order.

Abstracts: An abstract of approximately 500 words should be submitted using
EasyAbs: http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/spclsummer2023

After your title, clearly identify the area in which your submission should be
reviewed (e.g., morphology, sociolinguistics). Please do not include your name
or other revelatory information in the abstract. Individuals who are unable to
access
EasyAbs should email their abstract as an MS Word document to
spclsociety at gmail.com.

Abstract submission deadline is 12 February 2023. Acceptance notification will
be sent by late February 2023. See below for information about the makeup of
the abstract.

Organization of the Abstract

Many abstracts are rejected because they omit crucial information rather than
because of errors in what they include. A suggested outline for abstracts
follows:
1. Choose a title that clearly indicates the topic of the paper and is no more
than one line long;
2. In the abstract, state the topic clearly;
3. Make reference to prior work on the topic;
4. When essential to the clarity of the argumentation, present linguistic data
(with glosses). Explain abbreviations at their first occurrence;
5. If the paper presents the results of experiments, but collection of results
is not yet complete, present the provisional results in detail. Also indicate
the nature of the experimental design and the specific hypothesis tested;
6. State the relevance of your hypothesis to past work. Describe the analysis
in as much detailas possible. Avoid vague or unsubstantiated statements;
7. State the contribution to linguistic research made by the analysis;
8. Citation of the relevant literature is essential within the abstract;
however, the inclusion of a list of references at the end of the abstract is
not obligatory.

Assessment of Abstracts

Abstracts will be assessed on the basis of the following three criteria:
1. The relevance and significance of the proposed topic and/or the originality
of the study.
2. The argumentation (including the clarity of the argument and the results/
conclusions).
3. Knowledge of the relevant research literature and theory.
