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 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 detailas 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.
