General information
We invite submissions for:
individual papers for general sessions
panel proposals for thematic sessions.
Abstracts for individual papers should be limited to 500 words, not including figures or references.
Panel proposals should provide (1) an abstract for the whole panel limited to 1000 words, (2) a list of the names, emails and affiliations of the panel participants and (3) titles of the talks in the panel. Conference panels will be 2 (or 4) hours, so panel proposals will typically include 4 (or 8) individual presenters who will give 20-minute talks followed by discussion.
Please note that all the abstracts proposed in the panel will undergo the peer review process and should therefore be submitted by individual authors to Oxford Abstracts.
Papers dealing with any aspect of Slavic linguistics and within any theoretical framework or methodology are welcome.
All talks will be 20 minutes in length with 5 minutes for discussion and 5 minutes for room change. Abstracts should be written in English. The abstract itself should be anonymous (no identifying information, e.g., name, affiliation, self-reference).
