Call for Papers

We are pleased to announce that LingO 2007, the 2nd Oxford Linguistics
Postgraduate Conference, will take place at St. Anne's College,
University of Oxford, on 21 - 22 September 2007. The aim of the
conference is to provide postgraduates with an opportunity to present
their research to peers and the wider academic community.

Authors are invited to submit abstracts for talks or poster
presentations. Abstracts are invited from any linguistic subfield,
especially the fields of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax,
semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and
computational linguistics.

Talks will be allotted 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for
discussion. Authors presenting posters will have an opportunity to do so
during the poster session on the second day of the conference. Authors
will also be invited to submit an 8-page paper for publication in our
online conference proceedings.
