How and when to submit a paper
Print version
Abstracts may be submitted either (i) on paper by post or (ii) by email. Abstracts should be formatted as explained in the Abstract Format section – this is the same for both means of abstract submission. Electronic submission of abstracts is preferred.
Papers for the programme are selected anonymously – only the President knows the name of the authors. If an abstract is accepted for the meeting, the camera-ready copy will be used to produce the abstracts booklet.
All abstracts should be accompanied by an account of any requirements for audiovisual equipment. While we will make every effort to provide such equipment, we cannot guarantee that it will be available. The normal length for papers delivered at LAGB meetings is 25 minutes (plus 15 minutes discussion).
All abstracts must arrive by or on 9th April 2007. The committee will plan the programme as soon as it has selected the abstracts, so please indicate on the anonymous abstract if you cannot present your paper on any particular day in the conference. Please indicate on the anonymous abstract if your abstract is intended for the themed session on Contrast in Phonology or the workshop on Syntactic Microvariation in Dialects of English.
- For paper submissions: FIVE anonymous copies of the abstract, plus ONE with name and affiliation, i.e. CAMERA-READY, should be submitted, and should be sent in the format outlined below to the President by post (Professor Kersti Börjars, Faculty of Humanities, School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures, University of Manchester, Manchester, M13 9PL) . You should write your address for correspondence (email or surface, although email is very much preferred) on the BACK of the camera-ready copy. (Even if several authors are named on the front, there should be only one name and address for correspondence.)
- For electronic submissions: you will need to send an email with TWO attachments – one of the attached files should be an anonymous copy of the abstract (and should be named yoursurname-anon.pdf, or yoursurname-anon.doc, etc.), and the other should have your name, email address and affiliation, i.e. be CAMERA-READY (and should be named yoursurname-name.pdf, etc.). The abstracts should be sent in the format outlined in the Abstract Format section, and the email should be sent to the President (to THIS ADDRESS: abstracts@lagb.org.uk). In the body of the email that you send the attachments with, you should include your address for correspondence (email and surface); there should be only one name and address for correspondence, even if several authors are named on the abstract. The attached files should be in one of the following formats: pdf (preferred), or Word, or plain text. Any phonetic characters should either be embedded in a pdf file, or be in the Doulos SIL font, which can be downloaded for free from this site.
