Submission Deadline: 30-Sep-2026

The Society for Pidgin and Creole Linguistics will hold its annual
winter meeting from January 7-8, 2027 at the San Francisco Marriott
Marquis, San Francisco in conjunction with the annual meeting of the
Linguistic Society of America (LSA). 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.
An Abstract of approximately 500 words should be submitted using
EasyAbs: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/SPCL_winter_2027/
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 Winter 2027 Abstract" in the subject line.
Submission Instructions:
Panel proposals are encouraged. Ideally, no more than three (3) papers
should be part of a panel. Each panel participant should submit an
Abstract. Panel organizers should submit, in one file, the following
information to spclsociety at gmail.com:
1. The name of the Panel
2. A summary of the Panel
3. The name of each member
4. The institution of affiliation of each member
5. The presentation order
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 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.
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.
Submissions open: Sept. 7, 2026 - Sept. 25, 2026
Abstract review period: Sept. 26, 2026 - Oct. 14, 2026
