Meeting Description:

The Chicago Linguistic Society is the oldest student-run linguistics
organization in the United States. This academic year, CLS will host its 57th
annual meeting, which will be held from from Thursday May 6 to Saturday May 8,
2021.

Invited Speakers:
Andrea Berez-Kroeker (University of Hawai’i)
Natalia Bermúdez (University of Chicago)
Kirby Conrod (University of Washington)
Vadim Kimmelman (University of Bergen)
Sandhya Sundaresan (University of Gottingen)
Kelly E. Wright (University of Michigan)

COVID-19: While we are aiming for this conference to be held in-person next
May, we are also considering hosting CLS online this year. A final decision
will be made closer to the starting date of the event, with attention paid to
the evolving situation and to the preferences of the participants. Please see
our website (http://chicagolinguisticsociety.org) for updates.


Call for Papers: 

The Chicago Linguistic Society invites abstracts in any area of current
research on the human language faculty, to include but not limited to syntax,
morphology, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, phonology, phonetics, and
all relevant interfaces and allied fields in cognitive/social sciences.
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.

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 special session title if
applicable, linguistic subfield(s), language(s)/language family) within the
abstract.
(3) Limit abstracts to two letter-sized pages in length, including data and
references (just select references are acceptable). 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/cfp/CLS57) for the
submission of abstracts.
(6) Restrict submissions to one individual and one joint abstract per author,
or two joint abstracts per author.

We particularly encourage submissions relevant to this year’s proposed special
topics:
- Language and Race
- Language documentation and revitalization
- Grammaticalization
- Phi-features
- Sign languages 
- South Asian Languages
- Sociosyntax

Details on each of the special topics can be found on EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/cfp/CLS57) and our website
