Call for Papers:

Deadline for submission: Wednesday, 15 June 2016, 11:59pm EST

We invite theoretical contributions from all subfields of generative
linguistics as part of the general session. Presentations will be 20 minutes,
followed by 10 minutes for discussion. In addition, there will be two poster
sessions. Submissions are limited to two per author, with at most one paper
being single-authored.

In addition to the general session, we also invite submissions for two special
sessions listed below. You may indicate whether you would like to be
considered for the special session when submitting your abstract. All
abstracts will be considered for both the general session and the special
sessions.

1. Linearization of syntactic structures:

Since Richard Kayne's ''The Antisymmetry of Syntax,'' how syntactic structures
are mapped onto a linear order of words has had an increasingly large part in
explaining syntactic phenomena. This special session is reserved for work that
investigates the role of linearization in syntax. Possible topics include:

- The role of prosody in linearization
- How syntactic derivations are involved in linearization: is linearization
cyclic?
- The role linearization has in movement operations
- The role linearization has in ellipsis constructions
- The role linearization has in word order typologies
- The role linearization algorithms have in constraining syntactic
representations
- Do linearization algorithms tolerate multidominant representations and if
so, how?

2. Grammatical illusions at the grammar–processing interface:

This session will focus on how processing and grammar conspire to create the
perception of well-formedness in structures that one might otherwise expect to
be ungrammatical/unacceptable. The goal of this session is to bring together
psycholinguistic and theoretical viewpoints about acceptability judgment data.
Thus, we encourage both theoretical and experimental contributions.

Abstract guidelines:

- Abstracts, including references and data, must not exceed two A4 pages in
length, have 2.5 cm (1  inch) margins on all sides, and be set in Times New
Roman with a font size no smaller than 11pt.

- Examples, tables, graphs, etc. must be interspersed into the text of the
abstract, rather than collected at the end.

- The submission must not reveal the identity of the author(s) in any way.

- Submissions are limited to two per author, with at most one paper being
single-authored.

- Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format through EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nels47) by Wednesday, 15 June 2016,
11:59pm EST.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). 
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.
