call for papers

EHU-U.Basque Country and LEHIA (The Basque Group for Language Research) are pleased to host the 14th annual Conference of the Student Organization of Linguistics in Europe, to be held from 15 to 17 December 2005.

 

ConSOLE is organised by a different European university every year and it provides a nice forum for students of linguistics from all over the world to present independent research at the same time that it strives to foster contacts and cooperation between students of generative linguistics in Europe and around the world.  

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

 

Abstracts are solicited from all areas of generative linguistics including but not limited to phonology, morphology, syntax,  and semantics. ConSOLE is a conference on theoretical linguistics, so papers in fields like psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics or phonetics will also be welcome if they have a theoretical orientation.

 

GUIDELINES FOR ABSTRACTS:

Abstracts should not exceed two pages, including data, references and diagrams. Abstracts should be typed in at least 11-point font, with one-inch margins (letter-size; 8"1/2 by 11" or A4) and a maximum of 50 lines of text per page. Abstracts must be anonymous and  submissions are limited to 1 individual and 1 joint abstract per author. We will only accept abstracts by students (i.e., people not having  defended a PhD. by July 1st).

 

We will only accept electronic submissions. Send name, affiliation, e-mail, mailing address, title of the paper and whether you want it to be considered for the Main Session or the Special Session (or both) in the body of the message. The anonymous abstract should be sent as an attachment, and only abstracts in pdf format will be accepted.

 

Accepted papers are allotted 30 minutes for presentation plus 10 minutes for discussion.  

 

Please send your abstracts to: consoleXIV@vc.ehu.es
