We invite submission of abstracts for 30-minute oral presentations (with an additional ten-minutes for questions) and posters on any topic in natural language semantics with relevance to linguistic theory.
Assuming the travel policies of Yale University, the state of Connecticut, and the United States all permit it, we expect presentations to take place in person.
Submission Guidelines
Abstracts are due at midnight (11.59pm EST [UTC–5]) on Friday, 9 December Sunday, 11 December 2022
Please insure that any submission conforms to the following enforceable guidelines:
- Abstracts must be anonymous.
- The main text should be at most 2 pages (US Letter or A4) in length, including examples, with an optional third page for glossed examples, references, large graphs, tables, pictures, and figures. (Note, use a third page for examples only when they are non-English examples and are glossed.)
- The abstract should use a12pt 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.
In addition to the intellectual interest of the abstract, clarity and readability will also be taken into account in reviewing. Submitters should indicate what is the language, languages, or language family studied in the paper (including where the object language is English).
SALT33 will feature a poster session. Poster presentations will be published as regular papers in the proceedings. Poster presenters will be invited to give a short “lightning talk” prior to the poster session.
Additionally, SALT33 includes a number of thematic (‘sattelite’) sessions including: Genericity and (in)definiteness across languages (morning of Thursday, May 11), Negation and diachrony (afternoon of Thursday, 11 May) in celebration of the Golden Anniversary of Larry Horn's 1972 dissertation, and Philosophy of Linguistics (afternoon of Sunday May 14 and Monday May 15). Participation in these sessions is by invitation but they will be open to all SALT attendees.
Submission policies
-
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 ᴀᴅᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ sᴜʙᴍɪssɪᴏɴ 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.
