CALL FOR PAPER AND POSTER PRESENTATIONS
Abstracts are solicited for 20-min oral presentations to be presented
in parallel sessions, and for poster presentations. Each proposal will
be reviewed anonymously by two members of a large international panel.
Notifications of the Organizing Committee's decisions will be sent out
by February 15, 1997.
As this is the first time ICLC is admitting posters, some explanation
may be in order:
Poster sessions have been gaining increased popularity at a variety of
conferences. They allow conference participants to choose how much
time and attention they allocate to each presentation, varying from a
short glance to thorough reading and intensive interaction with the
presenters; more simultaneous presentations can be accommodated,
allowing a larger number of high-quality abstracts to be accepted;
finally, if posters are allowed to stay up for an extended period of
time, even participants who miss the discussion period have a good
chance of still seeing them (and picking up handouts the presenters
may provide).
The poster sessions will be located in a spacious transitional area
near the book exhibit and cafeteria. A maximum of about 20 to 30
posters will stay up for at least one whole day (longer if very few
posters are accepted), and authors will be expected to be available
for discussion of their poster for a one-hour period during which no
other sessions will be scheduled.
Nota bene: The abstracts for posters will undergo the same reviewing
procedure as those submitted for oral presentations. The abstracts of
accepted posters will be included in the abstracts volume. Papers
based on oral presentations or posters will be equally eligible for
publication in the conference proceedings; all submissions for those
volumes will undergo the same reviewing process.
ABSTRACTS
Please submit by November 15, 1996 an abstract containing the
following information:
- author name(s) and affiliation(s)
- address information (incl. fax and email)
- title of presentation
- preferred format (oral presentation or poster)
- three to five keywords
- a 500-word summary (about one page) specifying research
question(s), approach/method/data, and (expected) results
Electronic submission (to iclc97 at let.vu.nl) instead of or in addition
to hardcopy is strongly encouraged. Acceptable formats are:
- plain ASCII text
- ASCII text with minimal html coding + fax/hardcopy of formatted
text
- WordPerfect (any version between 4.2 and 6.1)
- Word 6.0
The organizers reserve the right to reformat accepted abstracts for
publication on the www and in the conference program. Any potentially
distorting changes will be cleared with the authors.
Submissions by hardcopy only: Send one high-quality print (definitely
no more than one page; font no smaller than 11pt) including your name
and affiliation, the title, and the abstract (do not center name or
title; do not include a header "Abstract"), three copies of an

our www-site and via ftp after November 1, 1996 and will be
