Call for Papers:

33rd Northwest Linguistics Conference

The Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia is pleased
to host the Northwest Linguistics Conference from May 5-7, 2017 in Vancouver,
BC. We invite graduate and undergraduate students to submit abstracts for 30
minute talks (20 minutes for presentation + 10 minutes for discussion) in any
area of theoretical or applied linguistics, or for the presentation of a
poster.

Invited Speaker: Emily Elfner (UBC)

This year we will have two special themed sessions:

(1) Intersection of sociology and linguistics: This session broadly welcomes
papers that explore the connection between grammar and the social aspects of
speech communities.
Session 1 Plenary Speaker: TBD

(2) Intersection of cognition and linguistics: This session welcomes papers
that explore issues of first- and second-language acquisition, processing, and
multimodality.
Session 2 Plenary Speaker: TBD

Abstracts must be at most two pages long (including data and references), on a
letter-size sheet (8”1/2 by 11”) with 1'' margins, and typed in at least
12-point font. Abstracts that do not follow the above format will not be
accepted. Submissions are limited to 1 individual and 1 joint abstract per
author. We especially encourage abstracts related to one of the two special
sessions outlined above, although research in all areas of linguistics is
welcome.

Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format to the contact e-mail:
nwlc33ubc at gmail.com. Please indicate if you would like to be considered for a
poster, a talk or both.

Deadline for submissions is January 13, 2017, with replies to be sent by March
10, 2017.
