We also expect to have additional guest speakers in Mongolic and Tibetan languages and linguistics.

We are now accepting submissions for 20-minute paper presentations (with 10 minute post-presentation questions and discussion) on topics related to Central Asian languages and linguistics, including both the Altaic and Eastern Indo-European languages spoken in the region (among others), a diverse range of languages such as Azerbaijani, Dari, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Mongolian, Pashto, Persian, Tajiki, Tibetan, Turkish, Turkmen, Tuvan, Uyghur, Uzbek, and more.

Presenters will have the opportunity to submit to the published proceedings of the conference.

Submissions can include, but are not limited to:
- Formal linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics, as well as their interfaces)
- Acquisition (first and second language acquisition)
- Language education/pedagogy, as related to Central Asian languages

Each abstract will be anonymously reviewed by a panel of scholars on a basis of interest, originality, timeliness, and relevance to the field, as well as reviewing the methodology and data collection methods and overall clarity and organization of ideas.

Submissions should consist of an anonymous titled abstract of no more than 500 words (not including examples and references) submitted via EasyAbs (http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/ConCALL3) by Friday, November 3, 2017.
