The 15th Biennial Conference of the Association for Linguistic Typology will be hosted by Nanyang Technological University Singapore. Abstracts on any topic in linguistic typology, including its interfaces with language documentation and signed language research, are now invited for oral presentations and posters. Non-members of ALT may submit abstracts but will be expected to join ALT in order to present a paper at the meeting.
The web page will be updated with information regarding registration, accommodation and other matters as arrangements progress.
Submission instructions:
Abstracts should be submitted through Easy Abs for the general session, a poster session, or for either. 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 and by members of the ALT 2024 Program Committee. Abstracts submitted for a workshop but not accepted there will be automatically considered for inclusion in the general or poster session.
Notification of acceptance: July 21, 2024
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.
Abstract specifications
Abstracts must be anonymous: do not put your name or other identifying information on the abstract to ensure a blind review.
Abstracts must be in .pdf format and not exceed one single-spaced page, 12pt font, with another page (at maximum) for references and examples.
Please put the title of the abstract and the preferred category (oral, poster, oral/poster, or name of workshop) at the top of the page.
Submissions open: Dec. 20, 2023 - April 15, 2024
Abstract review period: April 16, 2024 - July 31, 2024
