Further details will be available on the LAGB Education Committee website. _______________________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS The LAGB welcomes submissions on any topic in the field of linguistics; papers are selected on their (perceived) merits, and not according to their subject matter or theoretical framework. We particularly welcome papers from areas of linguistics that have not been well represented in previous meetings in order to capture the diversity of linguistics research currently undertaken in the UK and beyond. All abstracts will be blind-peer-reviewed by an international committee of reviewers. Both members and non-members are invited to offer papers for the meeting. The length for papers delivered at the LAGB 2015 meeting is 20 minutes (plus 10 minutes discussion). The deadline for submissions is Wednesday 1 April 2015. Notification of acceptance will be made in May 2015. CALL FOR THEMED SESSIONS As well as individual abstracts, we encourage groups of speakers to submit a set of abstracts for a themed session (or panel) on any linguistic subject of their choice. Such groups will normally take up a whole session of the programme. Sessions should ideally consist of five presentations (although sessions of three or six presentations will be considered). For details of how to submit abstracts and a synopsis for a themed session, visit the call for papers and themed sessions on the conference website: lagb.org.uk/lagb2015/call HOW TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT The deadline for abstracts is Wednesday 1 April 2015. Details of the venue, how to submit an abstract, and how to apply for a conference bursary are available from the conference website: lagb.org.uk/lagb2015 All enquiries should be sent to: [email protected]
