Feb. 6, 2025 - Feb. 8, 2025
We would like to announce the Call for Papers for the 13th International Conference of the North East Indian Linguistics Society (NEILS). NEILS13 will take place from February 6-8, 2025, in Kohima, Nagaland, India and will be hosted by the Department of Tenyidie at Nagaland University.
As the primary focus of NEILS is the description of the rich cultural-linguistic diversity that exists in North East India, papers should have a primary descriptive component, preferably from a functional-typological or anthropological-linguistic perspective. Field reports are acceptable. Papers whose sole or primary focus is formal, theoretical and/or computational in nature, or papers whose focus is about languages not spoken in North East India, are unlikely to be accepted for presentation. However, we will consider papers concerning languages spoken in the areas of Myanmar, China, Bhutan, Bangladesh and West Bengal that border the North East.
Submission instructions:
To present a paper at the conference, please prepare an abstract of no more than 500 words (exclusive of data and references, if any). Please write your abstract using only Times New Roman, 12pt. In the first line(s), give the full title of your paper; below it give your name and affiliation (e.g., [Stephen Morey (La Trobe University)]; below it leave one line empty; and below that, give the abstract, followed by references, if any. Examples/tables/figures should be inserted where discussed, rather than at the end of the abstract.
Notification of abstract acceptance will normally take place in early October, although early submissions/decisions for those needing to make extensive advance travel arrangements can be arranged.
Submissions open: July 1, 2024 - Sept. 30, 2024
Abstract review period: Sept. 30, 2024 - Oct. 31, 2024
