Meeting Description:

GLOW in Asia offers a forum for presentation and discussion of advanced research in theoretical linguistics. Its conferences take place within Asia but attract participants from all over the world. As a new event that constitutes part of these GLOW in Asia conferences, Mie University (Japan) holds GLOW in Asia Workshop for Young Scholars on September 7-8, 2011. The goal of this workshop is to provide an occasion for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers, the majority of whom are expected to be from Asia, to present their research, share new ideas and findings, and discuss their issues with participants and distinguished invited speakers from various places. 

Call for Papers: 

Abstract submissions are invited for oral or poster presentation on any aspect of theoretical linguistics. Each oral presentation will be allotted 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for discussion. Since the purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for young linguists to present their work to an international audience, submissions are limited either to graduate students or to those who have received a Ph.D. within the previous 3 years. (This restriction applies not only to the first author but also to the co-authors.) We anticipate that funds will be available for presenters as some form of subsidy for travel and/or accommodation expenses. Details regarding financial support will be finalized after presenters are accepted. Proceedings for the presented papers and posters will be published online. 

Authorship: 

(a) Abstracts submitted for review should represent original, unpublished research. 
(b) Abstracts should not include any author information. (e.g. references, file name of the abstract, etc.).

(b) The title of the paper should appear at the top of the first page of the abstract.

costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
