*CALL FOR PAPERS*
The LAGB welcomes submissions on any topic in the field of linguistics;
papers are selected on their (perceived) merits, and not according to their
subject matter or theoretical framework. We particularly welcome papers
from areas of linguistics that have not been well represented in previous
meetings in order to capture the diversity of linguistics research
currently undertaken in the UK and beyond. All abstracts will be
blind-peer-reviewed by an international committee of reviewers. Both
members and non-members are invited to offer papers for the meeting. The
length for papers delivered at the LAGB 2015 meeting is 20 minutes (plus 10
minutes discussion).

*The deadline for submissions is Wednesday 1 April 2015*. Notification of
acceptance will be made in May 2015.


*CALL FOR THEMED SESSIONS*
As well as individual abstracts, we encourage groups of speakers to submit
a set of abstracts for a themed session (or panel) on any linguistic
subject of their choice. Such groups will normally take up a whole session
of the programme. Sessions should ideally consist of five presentations
(although sessions of three or six presentations will be considered). For
details of how to submit abstracts and a synopsis for a themed session,
visit the call for papers and themed sessions on the conference website:

*HOW TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT*
The deadline for abstracts is Wednesday 1 April 2015.

Details of the venue, how to submit an abstract, and how to apply for a
conference bursary are available from the conference website:
