To present a paper at the Conference, please send an abstract of no more than 500 words (exclusive of data and references, if any) no later than
<b>September 15, 2015</b> via email to *both* Stephen Morey </span><a href="mailto:s.morey@latrobe.edu.au"><span style=""></span></a><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:s.morey@latrobe.edu.au">s.morey@latrobe.edu.au</a><span style=""> *and* Linda

<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><br>
Please send *both* the original abstract (.docx, .doc, .odf, .rtf or .txt format) *and* a .pdf of the same. Please save the file using the following format: NEILS9_Abstract_INITIAL+SURNAME_BRIEFTITLE.EXT For example, NEILS9_Abstract_PSingh_ManipuriPronouns.doc.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span><b style=""><span style="">Important: When preparing your abstract, do not use any special formatting, styles, etc. Just give the paper title,
your name and affiliation, and your abstract, in plain text. That’s all!</span></b></p>

Notification of acceptance will normally take place in early to mid October, although early submissions/decisions for those needing to make extensive advance travel arrangements can be arranged. As the primary focus of NEILS is 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.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The NEILS policy on certificates is as follows:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">a) Everyone attending the conference will have to register themselves by paying the relevant fees. We do not have a single day fee.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">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. </span></p>
