Meeting Description:

Semantics and Linguistic Theory (SALT) is the premiere North American
conference on semantics as a part of linguistic theory. The 28th SALT will
take place on May 18-20, 2018, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Our invited speakers are Amy Rose Deal and Benjamin Spector.


Call for Papers:

We invite submission of abstracts for 30-minute oral presentations (with an
additional 10 minutes for questions) or posters on any topic in natural
language semantics with relevance to linguistic theory.

Submission Details:

Abstracts are due at 11:59PM, Eastern Standard Time, on the night of Sunday
December 3, 2017, and should be submitted via Easychair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=salt28.

Requirements:

Abstracts must be anonymous. The main text should be at most 2 pages (US
Letter or A4) in length, including examples, with an optional 3rd page for
references or also large graphs, tables, pictures and figures. The abstract
should use a 12pt font and 1 inch margins (for US Letter) or 3 cm margins (for
A4) on all four sides. The abstract must be submitted as a single PDF file.
These limitations will be strictly enforced. In addition to the intellectual
interest of the abstract, clarity and readability will also be taken into
account in reviewing. SALT 28 will feature a poster session. Poster
presentations will be published as regular papers in the proceedings. Poster
presenters will be asked to give a short lightning round presentation prior to
the poster session.

Policies:

Authors may be involved in at most two abstracts and may be the sole author of
at most one abstract.

SALT does not accept papers that at the time of the conference have been
published or have been accepted for publication. In addition, preference will
be given to presentations that are not duplicated at other major conferences.

If the work or a close variant of it is under submission to or accepted for
publication or presentation in any other major venue (such as a national or
international conference or a journal/book chapter), we request that the
authors create a small section titled “Additional Submission” after the
references at the end of the paper. This section should include the other
venue(s) for which the work has been submitted, the status of those
submissions, and an indication of any major aspects of the SALT abstract not
submitted elsewhere. We require that authors update us by email if/when there
is a relevant change in the status of other submissions.

SALT 28 has a code of conduct
(http://web.mit.edu/linguistics/SALT28/code-of-conduct.html) and by submitting
an abstract and by attending the conference, you are agreeing to abide by the
code.
