Print and digital posters are welcome.
Workshops and symposia
We encourage the organization of workshops and 
symposia that explore analysis, data description 
or methodology; a particular theme; use of 
systemic functional linguistics in applied 
settings; or common interests among researchers.

Workshops and symposia time slots are 1hr and 15 
mins (= 2 papers) and 1hr and 55 mins (= 3 
papers).
Abstracts of workshops should be around 400 
words; abstracts of symposia should include a 
general abstract of around 400 words from the 
symposium convenor(s) plus specific abstracts by 
the individual presenters of around 200 words 
each.

A review of the proposals will be conducted by 
members of the organising committee, supported by 
a panel of experts in systemic functional 
linguistics. Decisions on acceptances will be 
made by email (and by mail where required) as 
soon as possible after submission.
