The Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas

Annual Meeting, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, January 6-9, 2011

Call for Papers, Posters, and Organized Sessions

Deadline for abstracts: August 1, 2010

The annual winter meeting of SSILA will be held jointly with the Annual 
Meeting of the Linguistic Society of America in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at 
the Hilton Pittsburgh, January 6-9, 2011. Information about the hotel and 
location can be found at the LSA website (www.lsadc.org), and participants 
will be able to preregister for the meeting and reserve hotel rooms on-line 
after July 1. 

SSILA welcomes abstracts for papers, posters, and organized sessions that 
present original research focusing on the linguistic study of the indigenous 
languages of the Americas.

Abstract Submission

The deadline for receipt of all abstracts and session proposals is midnight 
(PST) August 1st.

Abstracts should be submitted electronically, using the electronic 
submission website EASY CHAIR. Consult the SSILA website for details. 
Also e-mail or hard-copy submissions will be accepted if arrangements are 
made in advance with the SSILA Executive Secretary (ivy at ivydoak.com). 
Abstracts may be submitted in either English or Spanish.

Categories of Presentation

Authors are required to indicate the preferred category of their presentation 
at the time of submitting the abstract. The program committee will try to 
accommodate this preference as space and time allow.

20-Minute Papers. The bulk of the program will consist of 20-minute papers, 
with 10 additional minutes for discussion. Guidelines for preparing abstracts 
for these papers appear above.

Posters. Depending on subject and/or content, it may be more appropriate 
to submit an abstract to the poster session for visual presentation rather 
than to a 20-minute paper session. In general, the sorts of papers which are 
most effective as posters are those in which the major conclusions become 
evident from the thoughtful examination of charts and graphs, rather than 
those which require the audience to follow a sustained chain of verbal 
argumentation. Therefore, authors will want to make points in narrative form 
as brief as possible. A poster should be able to stand alone--that is, be 
understandable even if the author is not present. Abstracts for posters 
should follow the same guidelines as those for papers. SSILA poster 
sessions share space with LSA posters.

Organized Sessions. SSILA encourages submission of organized session 
proposals. Organized sessions typically involve more than one scholar and 
are expected to make a distinctive and creative contribution to the meeting. 
Proposals for organized sessions are NOT reviewed anonymously. These 
sessions may be: (1) symposia which include several presentations on a 
single topic; (2) workshops focused on a specific theme or issue; (3) 
colloquia which include a major presentation with one or more invited 
discussants; or (4) sessions of any other kind with a clear, specific, and 
coherent rationale. 

The organizer(s) of such sessions should notify the program chair 
(rrhodes at berkeley.edu) of their intent to submit a proposal at the earliest 
possible date, but no later than July 1st, including a general statement of 
the purpose and structure of the session. A full proposal must be submitted 
to the program chair by August 1st and must include: (1) a session abstract 
outlining the purpose, motivation, length (maximum: 3 hours), and 
justification for the session; (2) names of all participants, including 
discussants, and titles of papers; and (3) a complete account, including 
timetable, of what each participant will do. Note that organized sessions, 
even when structured as symposia, do not have to follow the 20-minute 
paper + 10-minute discussion format. 

All participants in organized sessions should submit an abstract of their 
paper following the submission instructions. Should the organized session 
not be accepted, the abstracts will be considered instead for the general 
session.
