Submission Guidelines
The organising committee of SociolinguistEssex 23 invites all postgraduates and third-year undergraduates to submit abstracts for oral presentations on any topic within sociolinguistics or related fields. This call is extended to any students whose work is relevant to sociolinguistics. Chosen abstracts will be allotted 20 minutes for presentation, plus time for questions and discussion.
Your abstract must be in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) format. In addition, you should make sure that your abstract conforms to the formatting guidelines below.
Please send an anonymised copy of your abstract file to the above link. The copy should be anonymous (title and abstract text only). If you get accepted we will ask you to send a named abstract that should contain, along with the abstract text itself, the following identifying information: title of abstract; author’s name; author’s affiliation. The filename of your anonymous abstract should be in the following format: first three words of the title of your abstract_anon (e.g. SententialWordOrder_anon.docx). The filename of your named abstract should be in the following format: first three words of the title of your abstract_named (e.g. SententialWordOrder_named.docx).
Abstract Formatting Guidelines
Your abstract should be no more than 400 words in length, including references.
Please format the page as follows:
• line spacing: 1.5 • all margins: 2.5cm (1 inch) • text alignment: justified • title text: Times New Roman, 14pt, bold, centred (NB: this should include name and affiliation on the named abstract file) • body text: Times New Roman, 12pt • paragraphs: do not indent; leave one clear line between paragraphs
Abstract Review and Acceptance
