The Chicago Linguistic Society is the oldest student-run linguistics
organization in the United States. Our linguistics conference has been held
every year since 1965. This academic year, CLS will host its 54th annual
meeting, which will be held from Thursday, April 26, to Saturday, April 28,
2018.

Call for Papers: 

The Chicago Linguistic Society invites abstracts in any area of current
research on the human language faculty, to include phonetics, phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, and
sociolinguistics, as well as allied fields in the cognitive and social
sciences. Accepted participants will be allotted 20 minutes to present and 10
minutes to answer questions. Presented papers will be published in the CLS
proceedings. This year's conference features a poster session; those
presenting a poster may be chosen as alternates for talks, and the poster
presentations will be published as regular papers in the proceedings.

Special Topics: 

We particularly encourage submissions relevant to this year's proposed special
sessions on Psycholinguistic approaches to semantics/pragmatics, Modification,
and Ellipsis.

Details on each of the special topics can be found on the conference website
(http://chicagolinguisticsociety.org/call.html).

Abstract Guidelines:

Submissions that fail to comply with any of the following guidelines will be
automatically rejected.

(1) Submit abstracts in PDF format with the filename PaperTitle.pdf.
(2) Include the paper title and keywords (i.e., CLS session title, linguistic
subfield(s), language(s)/language family) within the abstract.
(3) Limit abstracts to two letter-sized pages in length, including data and
references. Use one-inch margins and a font size no smaller than 11 point.
Incorporate data into the main text of the abstract, not on a separate page.
(4) Anonymize submissions by not including author name(s) in the abstract or
filename.
(5) Use the EasyChair platform (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cls54)
for the submission of abstracts.
