We invite submission of abstracts for 30-minute oral presentations (with an additional 10 minutes for questions) or posters on any topic in natural language semantics with relevance to linguistic theory.
Deadline: December 20, 2015, 11:59 pm Central Standard Time (UTC-6)
Submissions should be made via the SALT 26 EasyChair site.
As with SALT 25, there will be a short period for authors and reviewers to exchange feedback. Author feedback is scheduled for January 23–29, 2016.
Please read all instructions on this page before submitting your abstract.
Abstracts must be anonymous. The main text should be at most 3 pages (US Letter or A4) in length, including examples, with an optional fourth page for references. The abstract should use a 12pt font and 1 inch margins (for US Letter) or 3 cm margins (for A4) on all four sides. The abstract must be submitted as a single PDF file. These limitations will be strictly enforced. In addition to the intellectual merit of the abstract, clarity and readability will also be taken into account in reviewing.
SALT 26 will feature a poster session. Poster presentations will be published as regular papers in the proceedings. Poster presenters will be asked to give a short “lightning round” presentation prior to the poster session.
In addition to the regular sessions of SALT 26 there will be a one day special session on Presupposition, organized by Cleo Condoravdi (Stanford University) and Stefan Kaufmann (University of Connecticut). We are happy to announce three further invited speakers for this session:
We encourage papers on any theoretical, experimental, fieldwork-based, or corpus approaches to presupposition, presupposition triggering, or presuppositional inference.
The special session has the same submission and reviewing process as the main session.
Authors may be involved in at most two abstracts and may be the sole author of at most one abstract.
SALT does not accept papers that at the time of the conference have been published or have been accepted for publication. In addition, preference will be given to presentations that are not duplicated at other major conferences.
If the work or a close variant of it is under submission to or accepted for publication or presentation in any other major venue (such as a national or international conference or a journal/book chapter), we request that the authors create a small section titled “Additional Submission” after the references at the end of the paper. This section should include the other venue(s) for which the work has been submitted, the status of those submissions, and an indication of any major aspects of the SALT abstract not submitted elsewhere. We require that authors update us by email if/when there is a relevant change in the status of other submissions.
On the EasyChair submission page, there are several additional options to pay attention to:
