http://lacus.weebly.com/2019-call-for-participation.html

Abstracts submitted by November 30, 2018, will receive acceptance replies by
December 14; those submitted later, by February 15, 2019, the final deadline,
will receive acceptance replies by March 15. 

While abstracts addressing the conference theme are especially welcome,
abstracts on all linguistic topics and from all theoretical perspectives are
welcome. The following list of areas is intended as suggestive rather than
comprehensive or restrictive:

- Issues in graphology, phonology, grammar, semantics, lexis, discourse,
modality, ontology, diachronic linguistics, geolinguistics, etc.
- Cognitive and neurolinguistic approaches to language
- Computational and corpus approaches to language
- Forensic and clinical linguistics
- Language in the media
- Multilingualism and genre
- Sociolinguistics

Presenters are required to be members of LACUS and to be registered for the
conference. Regardless of acceptance status, anyone who has not registered and
paid registration and membership fees by March 29, 2019 will not have their
paper scheduled on the program and their abstract will not be published in the
2019 LACUS Meeting Handbook.
Under certain conditions, LACUS permits authors who cannot travel to the
conference to present via a real-time ('live') video connection. (LACUS
membership and conference registration required).

The Presidents' Prize, which includes a cash award of US $500, is awarded to
the most outstanding paper presented at a LACUS conference by a younger
scholar. For this purpose, most outstanding paper is defined as the paper
judged as the one making the greatest contribution to knowledge, and younger
scholar is defined as one who has received a doctor's degree within the past
five years and who has not yet advanced to a tenured position, or one who has
not yet received a doctor’s degree. The judging is done by the Presidents
Committee, consisting of the current President of LACUS and all former
presidents in attendance at the meeting.

A runner-up prize, with a cash award of US $100, is given to the next-best
paper (same criteria) by a young scholar (same definition).
