Submission guidelines

We invite submission of abstracts for 30-minute oral presentations (with an additional 20 minutes for questions). Abstracts should be anonymous, the main text should be 2 pages in length, with an optional third page for glossed examples, references, or figures. (Note: use a third page for examples only when they are non-English examples and are glossed.) Abstracts are due before DECEMBER 7, 2026 and should be submitted via Google Forms at the link above. We expect to notify authors of their acceptance at the begining of February 2027.

(NOTE: We are aware that mentioning slurs is a controversial issue. We will not, however, take a stance on this matter, but we'd like to ask submitters to be sensitive to the issue.)

We especially encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply.
