Proposals regarding original, previously unpublished research results on 
bilingualism are invited in three formats: individual papers, posters and 
colloquia. Each paper presentation should be scheduled for 25 minutes, including 
time for discussion. 

Proposals for Individual Papers or Posters: 
Proposals for individual papers or posters consist of one page plain text 
abstract, including examples and references (max. 3000 characters). The abstract 
should include enough details to allow reviewers to judge the scientific merits 
of the proposal. Abstracts for paper/poster presentations will be double-blind 
peer-reviewed. Authors will be asked to specify a format (paper presentation or 
poster session) at the time the work is submitted. 

Proposals for Colloquia: 
Colloquia are collections of four paper presentations which relate to a narrowly 
defined topic of interest. They are submitted as a group, individually reviewed 
and offered in 120 min. time blocks. Proposals for colloquia consist of one page 
plain text abstract, including examples and references (max. 3000 characters), 
describing the colloquium as a whole. In addition, for each of the papers to be 
presented one page plain text abstract with author's name, professional 
affiliation, and email address must be included. Sufficient details should be 
provided to allow peer reviewers to judge the scientific merit of the proposal. 
A chair for the session must also be identified. Instead of a fourth speaker, 
time can be reserved for discussion lead by a specified discussant. The person 
submitting a proposal for a colloquium has the charge of securing the permission 
and co-operation of all participants before the proposal is submitted. 

Please submit your proposal online at http://www.let.uu.nl/isb7/ 
For all submissions holds: one presentation as a first author and one as a 
co-author. 

Submission Deadline: October 1st 2008 

If you have problems with online submission, please do not hesitate to contact 
our conference co-ordinator at isb7uu.nl <http://uu.nl/>
