Abstract Submission

The deadline for receipt of all abstracts is on July 17th at 11:59 PM (Hawaii-Aleutian time). Please note that the deadline this year is two weeks earlier than in previous years. This is because the LSA submission deadline was changed to an earlier date this year, and SSILA endeavors to make acceptance decisions at the same time as the main LSA conference.

Abstracts should be submitted electronically, using the electronic submission website EasyChair. Consult the SSILA website for detailed instructions. Also, e-mail or hard-copy submissions will be accepted if arrangements are made in advance with the SSILA Program Committee Administrator, Martin Kohlberger (conferences@ssila.org). Abstracts may be submitted in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.
