We invite abstracts from a broad field of linguistic subfields (e.g. language acquisition, morphology, phonetics/ phonology, semantics/ pragmatics, sociolinguistics, syntax) and methodologies (e.g. computational, experimental, fieldwork, theoretical).

​

Also, due to the prominence of Queen Mary University of London as a centre for sociolinguistics, we particularly welcome submissions from this subfield, as well as submissions from other linguistic subfields which have a sociolinguistic element.

​

​

​Please adhere to the following guidelines for paper submissions:

​

• All papers must be original, and we especially welcome those papers not submitted to other journals or conferences.

• All authors should be early stage researchers (Bachelor, Master, PhD within the first 3 years of their PhD).

• Submissions are limited to two abstracts, with at most one single-authored paper.

• The order of authors should reflect the contribution to the paper; equal contribution has to be indicated.

• The submission file(s) must be anonymous and not reveal the identity of the author(s) in any way (be sure to remove metadata from the file).

• Authors should specify whether they would like to be considered for oral or poster presentation, or for both.

• Maximum 2 pages A4 per abstract (excluding references, including examples, tables and figures), 2.5cm margins, 12pt font, .pdf format. Abstract templates are available here.

• Abstracts which do not comply with these guidelines may be excluded from the reviewing process.
