APLL7 conference 16-17 May 2014

[Peter Austin]

The Austronesian and Papuan Languages and Linguistics research group is pleased to announce its seventh international conference APLL7 to be held at SOAS, University of London, on 16-17th May 2014.  APLL7 follows this year's highly successful APLL6 conference, and the Austronesian Languages and Linguistics (ALL) conferences held at SOAS and St Catherine’s College Oxford in previous years.

The purpose of the APLL conferences is to provide a venue for presentation of the best current research on Austronesian and Papuan languages and linguistics and to promote collaboration and research in this area. All papers will be subject to assessment by the Program Committee.

Abstracts are now invited for the APLL7 conference. Presentations will be 30 minutes followed by 10 minutes of discussion. Each individual may present up to one single authored paper and one joint paper. 

Abstracts should be no more than one A4 page in length including references and examples. They should be anonymous, and set in a minimum of 12pt font. They should be in .doc or .pdf format (but NOT .docx format) and the filename should start with APLL7, followed by an underscore and then first authors’ surname, e.g. APLL7_bloggs.pdf. If you have a common surname, please also include initials, e.g. APLL7_jjones.pdf.

Abstracts must be submitted via the EasyChair system which you can access by clicking on this link: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=apll7 

If you do not have an EasyChair account already, you will need to create one when you do this. Once logged in complete your details and upload your abstract as an attachment (pdf, or doc).

The deadline for the submission of all abstracts is Friday 24 January 2014. 

Applicants will be notified of abstract acceptance by Friday 7 March 2014.
