Call For Papers

Abstract submission deadline: April 15, 2024

Notification of acceptance: July 21, 2024 July 31, 2024

It's the holiday period for many, and unfortunately we are still waiting for some abstract reviews to be submitted before we can announce acceptances. We hope to be able to do this by the end of July. Apologies for the delay. 

Abstracts on any topic in linguistic typology, including its interfaces with language documentation and signed language research, are invited for oral presentations, posters, and a limited number of workshops. Non-members of ALT may submit abstracts but will be expected to join ALT in order to present a paper at the meeting.

Abstracts may be submitted for the general session, for a poster session, or for one of the scheduled workshops. Abstracts submitted for a workshop but not accepted there will be automatically considered for inclusion in the general or poster session. One individual may be involved in a maximum of two abstracts (maximum of one as sole author), regardless of category (oral, poster, workshop talk). Abstracts will be anonymously reviewed by a pool of external referees, the ALT 2024 Abstract Review Committee, and by members of the ALT 2024 Program Committee. Abstracts submitted to a workshop will be jointly reviewed by members of the ALT 2024 Abstract Review Committee and the workshop organizers.

Abstract specifications

Abstracts must be anonymous: do not put your name or other identifying information on the abstract. Abstracts should be at a maximum length of one single-spaced page, 12pt font, with another page (at maximum) for references and examples. Please put this information at the top of your abstract: abstract title; abstract category (oral, poster, oral/poster); workshop title (if applicable).

 

Categories of submission

Oral presentation for the general session, or for the poster session (single or multiple author):

  • Oral presentations will be for 20 minutes per paper plus 10 minutes for discussion.
  • Poster: One or more poster sessions will be organized, depending on demand.
  • Oral/Poster: This means you prefer an oral presentation but can also present a poster. If there are more good abstracts than we can accommodate, the Programme Committee will schedule some as posters. Whether a presentation is scheduled as an oral presentation or a poster should not be taken as an indication of quality, but rather as a matter of logistics and our need to accommodate all the talks that are worthy of inclusion in ALT XV.
  • Workshop: Please indicate the name of the workshop for which you are submitting an abstract. 

Submission instructions:

Abstracts should be submitted through Easy Abs for the general session, a poster session, or for either. Abstracts for workshops should also be submitted via the Easy Abs portal, and those not accepted there will be automatically considered for inclusion in the general or poster session.
