Call for papers

We are excited to announce that the 14th SLISE (Spanish Linguistics in the Southeast) and SLINKI (Spanish Linguistics in North Carolina) conference will be hosted at College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina on Friday, February 16 and Saturday, February 17, 2024!

We invite abstracts for 20-minute presentations and for poster presentations in any area related to Hispanic Linguistics. While the focus of the conference is on work by researchers in the Southeast or related to Spanish in the Southeast, we welcome submissions from researchers across the country and internationally.

Sessions will be held throughout Saturday, February 17, while the poster session will be held between sessions. All abstracts, which may be submitted in either English or Spanish, should not exceed 400 words in length (excluding examples, references and figures). While priority will be given to studies presenting concrete results, we also extend consideration to studies with expected outcomes.

We are also honored to announce that Dr. Jim Michnowicz, Professor of Hispanic Linguistics at North Carolina State University, will deliver a Plenary Talk on Friday, February 16!

Review Criteria

Our panel of expert reviewers will choose 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 models 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?
Study Design: Is the methodology (participants, materials, statistical analyses) described in detail?
Measurable Outcome: What is the stage of the research? Are results available?
Presentation: Is the writing clear? Is it appropriately organized? Is the length appropriate?
