Proceedings:

Submission to the 'Proceedings of the LangUE' will be invited from all those
who present their work at the LangUE 2017. Submissions must be emailed to
langue at essex.ac.uk by 15 June 2017, and revised papers may be submitted in the
two weeks following the conference (to allow for revisions following
comments/discussion at the conference). Proceedings guidelines will be
available through the website shortly. The proceedings will be published
online on http://www.essex.ac.uk/langling/conferences/langue/default.aspx.

Oral Presentations:

Each 30-minute oral presentation slot will consist of a 20 minute talk
followed by 10 minutes for questions. Presenters must ensure that the duration
of their talk adheres to the 20 minute rule; our programme is very strict and
we will be sorry to stop you if we had to. We advise you on dividing your
time, wisely, between the presentation and the questions. In any case, you
won’t be allocated more than 30 mins for your talk.

Presenters should prepare their own handouts if they wish to distribute them
to the participants. We advise presenters to bring between 10-15 copies to the
conference. Please inform the chair or one of the organizers in advance in
case you want to distribute copies to make the process run more smoothly. You
can email us at langue at essex.ac.uk with a copy.

Presenters are encouraged to use PowerPoint as their presentation media. The
conference venue will provide computers, projectors as well as speakers for
PowerPoint presentations. Presenters who are using PowerPoint are strongly
advised to send their presentations in 2 days before the due date (15 June
2017) to langue at essex.ac.uk to prevent delays in fetching data between the
sessions. Please make sure to name your ppt. file as the following:
YourLastName_Title.

Poster Presentations:

Posters will be on display during lunch. Authors are expected to stand near
their posters throughout the poster sessions.

All posters should be handed over to the committee members of the conference
during registration at the registration desk. Presenters are asked to remove
their posters by the close of the conference Friday 16 June 2017. Posters that
are not removed by the allocated time will be removed by the organizers who
assume no responsibility for display materials not removed at the appropriate
time.

The following information should be helpful when designing your poster:

- Each author will be assigned an A0 size (841 x 1189 mm) poster board
(landscape). Posters will be mounted on the poster board with Velcro and
sticky tape, which will be provided.
- The abstract title, author, and affiliation should be indicated in a heading
at the top of your poster.
- The title line(s) should be readable from at least 2 metres away - lettering
should be at least 2.5 cm high.
- The presentation must be readable from a distance, so please use an
appropriately sized font.
- Keep visual materials simple and clear. Try not to use too much printed
text.
