Meeting Description:

The Linguistics Society at the University of Georgia (LSUGA) announces the 6th
Annual Linguistics Conference at UGA (LCUGA6). Following in the tradition of
previous LCUGAs, we invite presentations that span linguistics subfields as
well as incorporate interdisciplinary research from other areas in the
sciences and humanities. The central focus of this year's conference is
“Place: Linguistics & Locality”. We encourage creative interpretation of this
focus and welcome papers that can include: case studies of the influence of
physical and geographical place and place identity on the various aspects of
language; case or typological studies of isolated or marginalized speech
communities; areal influence on language change; theories relating to
syntactic locality; phonological studies of place of articulation; studies of
periphery; analysis of lesser-studied time periods and geographic areas; and
studies of pidgins, creoles, and other typically geographically local
languages. Preference will be given to submissions that address
interpretations of our central focus, the role of place in linguistics and
language; however, we also encourage presentations on any topic relevant to
the field of linguistics.

We are proud to welcome the following plenary speakers to LCUGA6:

Dr. Paul Reed, University of Alabama
Dr. Katie Carmichael, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

One $100 travel award for best student abstract will be awarded at the
conference. All papers presented will be eligible for publication in our LCUGA
proceedings.


2nd Call for Papers:

We are pleased to announce that the abstract deadline has been extended to
July 22, 2019!

Applicants are welcome to submit up to two abstracts, one single-authored and
one co-authored contribution. Presenters will be allotted 20 minutes, plus
5-10 minutes of discussion. Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (not
including title and references); any examples should be incorporated into the
text of the abstract with relevant figures, charts, and/or graphs included on
a single separate page. Abstracts must be in Word (.doc/.docx) format, and
must not include any personally identifying information. Submissions that do
not comply with the above guidelines will not be considered for acceptance.

Please submit all abstracts via EasyAbs at
https://linguistlist.org/easyabs/lcuga-6 by July 22, 2019. For questions and
inquiries regarding LCUGA6, please see our website
