Papers are formal presentations on original research by one or more authors,
lasting a total of 30 minutes (20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for
discussion). Please note that the time limit will be strictly adhered to.

Posters: 

Poster sessions are for displaying research that offers the opportunity for
individualized, informal discussion of the research. Posters are especially
effective for presenting work-in-progress, fieldwork and results of empirical
research if data can be presented visually (e.g. charts, graphs, tables). A
block of time will be designated when presenters are available to discuss
their posters. Posters should be in the size of DIN A1 or A0 in portrait
format. There will be a time slot dedicated to poster presentations.

Abstracts should be between 300 and 500 words in length (including
references).

The language of the conference is English.

Submission of Proposals:

Submission is already open and will close  on 15 February 2017. Presenters are
requested to include their name, affiliation and email address in the
submitted MS-Word documents. All proposals should be sent to:
bragaconfmultiling at gmail.com.

Evaluation of Proposals:

Proposals will be evaluated in terms of quality of content, significance,
originality, thematic relevance, and presentation.

Conference Presentation Policies:

Individuals may submit a maximum of one abstract as first author, whether a
paper or a poster.

It is assumed that all proposals represent original and unpublished work that
is not yet available to the research community.

- The presenter must be a registered attending participant at the Conference
- The conference policy is that the author will present the paper on the day
and time assigned by the conference program committee

Conference Publication:

All presenters will be invited to submit their full papers for publication by
1 September 2017. Selected papers will be published in “Multilingualism” with
De Gruyter Open. There will also exist alternative possibilities of publishing
the conference papers –  TBA.
