Meeting Description:

The Society for Pidgin and Creole Linguistics will hold its annual summer
meeting from June 29 to July 1, 2020, at the Institut des Langues et
Civilisations Orientales (INALCO) in Paris, France. Abstracts on the
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, lexicon, or any other issue
pertinent to the linguistic study of Pidgins, Creoles and other contact
varieties are invited for anonymous review.


Call for Papers: 

An abstract of approximately 500 words should be submitted using EasyAbs.

The link is: http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/spclparis2020

After your title, clearly identify the area in which your submission should be
reviewed (e.g. morphology, sociolinguistics). Please do not include your name
or other revelatory information in the abstract. Individuals who are unable to
access EasyAbs should email their abstract as an MS Word document to
spclsociety at gmail.com. Include ''SPCL Paris Abstract'' in the subject line. 

Hotel accommodation options will be made available once the preliminary
programme has been established. 

Abstract submission deadline is March 1, 2020. Acceptance notification will be
sent on April 1, 2020. 

Organization of the Abstract:
Many abstracts are rejected because they omit crucial information rather than
because of errors in what they include. A suggested outline for abstracts
follows: 

1. Choose a title that clearly indicates the topic of the paper and is no more
than one line long;

2. In the abstract, state the topic clearly;

3. Make reference to prior work on the topic;

4. When essential to the clarity of the argumentation, present linguistic data
(with glosses). Explain abbreviations at their first occurrence;

5. If the paper presents the results of experiments, but the collection of
results is not yet complete, present the provisional results in detail. Also
indicate the nature of the experimental design and the specific hypothesis
tested;

6. State the relevance of your hypothesis to past work. Describe the analysis
in as much detail as possible. Avoid vague or unsubstantiated statements;

7. State the contribution to linguistic research made by the analysis;

8. Citation of the relevant literature is essential within the abstract;
however, the inclusion of a list of references at the end of the abstract is
not obligatory. 

Assessment of Abstracts:
Abstracts will be assessed on the basis of the following three criteria: 

1. The relevance and significance of the proposed topic and/or the originality
of the study. 

2. The argumentation (including the clarity of the argument and the
results/conclusions). 

3. Knowledge of the relevant research literature and theory.
