Dear fellow linguist and/or North East Indianist,
We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 10th International 
Conference of the North East Indian Linguistics Society (NEILS). NEILS10 will 
take place from January 29-31, 2018, in Silchar, Assam, India and will be 
hosted by the Department of Linguistics, Assam University. The conference 
venue will be the campus of Assam University, Silchar, Assam.
As the primary focus of NEILS is the description of the rich 
cultural-linguistic diversity that exists in North East India, papers should 
have a primary descriptive component, preferably from a functional-typological 
or anthropological-linguistic perspective. Field reports are acceptable. 
Papers whose sole or primary focus is formal, theoretical and/or computational 
in nature, or papers whose focus is about languages not spoken in North East 
India, are unlikely to be accepted for presentation. However, we will consider 
papers concerning languages spoken in the areas of Myanmar, China, Bhutan, 
Bangladesh and West Bengal that border the North East.
To present a paper at the Conference, please submit an abstract of no more 
than 500 words (exclusive of data and references, if any) no later than 
*September 1, 2017* on the EasyChair website. To do so, please use the 
following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=neils10

**EasyChair abstract submission instructions*
(1)If you do not have an EasyChair account yet, you will first need to create 
one. The link above takes you to the log-in page – just below the red “Log in” 
button, you can click on “create an account”. If you have used EasyChair 
before, you can log in with the same user name and password that you have used 
before.
(2)Once you are logged in to your EasyChair account, the NEILS10 page of 
EasyChair will open. It clearly says at the top “NEILS10 (10th International 
Conference of the North East Indian Linguistics Society)”. Click on the blue 
link that says “enter as an author 
<https://easychair.org/conferences/login_author.cgi?cid=191126;a=13645813>”.
(3)The next page is the abstract submission page. It requires you to enter the 
following information:
a.“Author 1”: If you are the single author of your paper, just fill in this 
information. You may click on “click here to add yourself” so the system fills 
in (part of) the necessary information
b.“Author 2”/ “Author 3”: If you don’t have any co-authors of your paper, just 
skip this step. If you do have co-authors, put their information in these boxes.
c.“Title and Abstract”: Copy and paste both your title and your entire 
abstract in the given boxes. To do so, you can go to your word document, 
highlight/select the title and press “Ctrl” and “c” at the same time, then go 
to the EasyChair website and in the ‘title’ box press “Ctrl” and “v”. Then do 
the same for the entire abstract.
If your abstract contains figures and/or tables, they will not show up here. 
Don’t worry about this as you will also upload a file with your abstract in 
the “Uploads” section (see e. below).
d.“Keywords”: Specify 3 keywords that characterize the content of your paper. 
This can be about the linguistic subdiscipline (phonology, morphology, etc.), 
language family or branch, or more specific notions (“speech act 
participants”, “verb agreement”, “tone”, etc.)
e.“Uploads”: Upload the actual file of your abstract here. Ideally, this 
should be a PDF document but if need be, DOC, DOCX, or ODT documents are also 
acceptable. Please write your abstract using Times New Roman, 12pt. In the 
first line(s), give the full title of your paper; below it give your name and 
affiliation (e.g., [Stephen Morey (La Trobe University)]; below it leave one 
line empty; and below that, give the abstract, followed by references, if any. 
Examples/tables/figures should be inserted where discussed, rather than at the 
end of the abstract.
f.Finally, click the “Submit” button. The system will generate an email that 
confirms your submission.
If you have trouble submitting your abstract on the EasyChair website, please 
get in touch with Linda Konnerth (linda.konnerth at mail.huji.ac.il 
<mailto:linda.konnerth at mail.huji.ac.il>).
Notification of abstract acceptance will normally take place in early October, 
although early submissions/decisions for those needing to make extensive 
advance travel arrangements can be arranged.

*NOTE: Unlike previous NEILS conferences, we will need to collect registration

latest). We are currently setting up payment options. Details will be provided 
when registration opens on November 1^st .*

*Certificates*
The NEILS policy on certificates is as follows:
a) Everyone attending the conference will have to register themselves by 
paying the relevant fees. We do not have a single day fee.
b) Certificates will be issued only to paper presenters. Merely registering 
for the conference by paying the relevant fees will not entitle a person to a 
certificate.
c) In order to receive individual certificates, each co-author of a paper will 
have to pay the relevant registration fees irrespective of whether they attend 
the conference in person or not. If a fee is not paid by non-attending 
authors, only one certificate will be issued to the attending author, but 
naming the paper and all the authors.
d) Jointly authored papers, one of whose authors is unable to attend the 
conference, will be considered for publication in the NEILS volumes under the 
name of all co-authors.

*Accommodation*
Accommodation will be available, and will be announced in due course.

*Contact *
Please consult the NEILS website at <http://sealang.net/neils> periodically 
for updated information closer to the conference date, or, for any individual 
questions, please contact any of the organizers.

We look forward to welcoming you to Silchar in January!

With our best,
The Organizers, NEILS10
