Extended Deadline; Final Call for Abstracts for SCLA-7 at University of Chicago, Oct 12-14, 2007

[Valentina Soboleva]

Sorry but I am confused - what conference you are talking about in regard to the deadline for abstract submission?  Is it annual SEELanguages?in December in Chicago?  For whch the deadline was Aug 1?

Or do you mean another conference in Chicago that takes place on October 12th?

Would appreciate if you clarify.

Thank you.

Valentina Soboleva.

> linguistic phenomena which are psychologically plausible, i.e. 
> characterizing "the 
> psychological structures that constitute a speaker's linguistic 
> ability" (Langacker). As long as there is a cognitive orientation, 
> papers may be in any of the traditional areas of synchronic or 
> diachronic phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, 
> discourse analysis or sociolinguistics. 
> 
> MAIN SESSIONS (Saturday and Sunday) 
> Each presentation for the main sessions will be given 20 minutes and 
> will be followed by a 10-minute discussion period.

> POSTER SESSIONS (Saturday and Sunday) 
> We also welcome submissions for parallel poster sessions. Posters may 
> consist of traditional posters, handouts, or multimedia 
> presentations. Participants should plan for 15 minute presentations 
> that will be repeated 3 times during a 60 minute session. 
> 
> Presentations may be in the native language of the presenter; 
> however, if the presentation is not to be made in English we ask that 
> you provide the abstract in English in addition to an abstract in any 
> other language.
