Review Criteria:
Reviewers will evaluate abstracts based on the following criteria:
Originality - Does the research make a significant contribution to the field of Hispanic linguistics?
Academic Rigor - Are the background, rationale, prior research, and methodology clearly described? Are specific models being tested? Is the motivation for the study related to just filling a gap in the field, or does the study exhibit a robust foundation in theoretical motivation?
Results/Outcomes - What is the stage of the research? Are results available?
Presentation - Is the writing clear? Is it appropriately organized? Is the length appropriate?
