meeting, which will be held from Thursday, April 30, to Saturday, May 2, 2020.


Final Call for Papers:

*Abstract submission deadline extended to January 15, 2020*

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.
