Individual paper presentations will be 30-minutes (20-minute presentations followed by a 10-minute discussion).

We welcome presentations of original research from a variety of theoretical and/or methodological perspectives, including sociolinguistics, dialectology, historical linguistics, sociology of language, and psycholinguistics (among others).

We particularly encourage submissions that are related to the conference theme, though abstracts that deal with any aspect of variation in language use or the linguistic system are welcome.

Abstracts must be fully anonymized and must not exceed 500 words, excluding title and references. Abstracts should provide information on the topic, data, methodology, and theoretical framework(s) of the contribution. 

Note: Authors may submit two abstracts in total to the conference, if at least one is co-authored. This includes all types of contributions (papers, posters, panels).
