SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Abstract preparation

The two categories of proposals are: oral presentations and posters. 

Both posters and oral presentations must refer to unpublished original research by one or more authors. However, posters are especially effective for presenting work-in-progress, fieldwork and empirical data via charts, graphs and tables.

Submissions should be related to either the conference main theme (Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence: Opportunities and Risks) or any of AESLA's 10 scientific panels: 

1. Language Acquisition and Language Learning
2. Language Teaching and Curriculum Design 
3. Language for Specific Purposes  
4. Language Psychology, Child Language and Psycholinguistics  
5. Sociolinguistics  
6. Pragmatics 
7. Discourse Analysis  
8. Corpus Linguistics, Computational Linguistics and Linguistic Engineering  
9. Lexicology and Lexicography  
10. Translation and Interpreting

Authors may submit a maximum of 2 proposals, either both proposals with co-authors or 1 as a single author and the other with co-authors.

Abstracts must be:

• Anonymised
• Submitted in English or in Spanish* 
• No longer than 500 words (excluding references) 
• Submitted via the conference website

*Note that the language chosen will be strictly maintained both for the presentation to be delivered at the conference and for the submission of the article for publication in the Book of Abstracts.

Abstract submission

• Authors can check the status of their proposals by accessing their accounts. 
• The notification of acceptance/rejection will be made in February 12th 2021.

Participation at the conference

All participants attending the conference must be registered and must pay the conference fee.

The conference policy is that authors will present the paper on site and on the day and time assigned by the conference organising committee. Poster authors should be present during the poster session specified in the program to answer questions about their work.

Please note that all authors and co-authors of the accepted works must be registered for the conference and pay the corresponding fee. Otherwise, the co-authors names will not appear on the programme and will not get their certificate.

Approximate time limits appear below:

• Individual papers: 20 minutes of presentation time and 10 minutes for discussion.
• Poster sessions: there will be a time slot in the program dedicated to poster presentations when presenters should be available to discuss their posters. Posters should be A2-sized (59,4 x 42 cm) and vertically oriented. Once accepted, posters must be submitted in PDF format via the conference webpage (Updated: send to aesla2020@udc.es).

Please note that the time limit will be strictly adhered to.
