Abstracts from all areas from linguistics are welcomed but abstracts fitting with either the main theme or the theme of the special session will be given preference. Abstracts are invited for (a) 20-minute talks with a 10 minute question period to follow, and (b) a poster session. Submissions are limited to one individual and one joint abstract per author.

Invited Speakers:

Harald Baayen (University of Alberta, Alberta)
Andy Wedel (University of Arizona, Arizona)
Maria Zubizarreta (University of Southern California, California)

Submission Guidelines:

When submitting your abstract, please indicate your preference you would like to be considered for: (a) main session, (b) special session or (c) poster session. Abstracts should be anonymous, in the pdf format, limited to one page (with 1 inch margins on all sides and 11 point font size) with an optional second page for examples and references. Any non-standard fonts should be embedded in the pdf document.

Abstracts should include up to five keywords after the title, including subfield and language (or family), in order to help us match the abstracts submitted to reviewers familiar with the topics discussed in the abstracts.

Selected papers from the conference presentation are scheduled to be published in the Proceedings of the Third Meeting of the Arizona Linguistics Circle. Also, publication of a volume from the conference with a major publisher is planned.

Submissions by graduate students are particularly welcome. Graduate students are eligible to apply for the best student abstract award with the cash benefit of $150. If you would like to have your abstract considered for this award, note your current student status in the body of the email.

Abstract submissions should be sent to: arizonalinguisticscircle3 at gmail dot com
