WIGL 17 – Call for Papers

The University of Wisconsin–Madison Linguistics Student Organization invites submissions for papers to be presented at the 17th annual Workshop in General Linguistics (WIGL 17), to be held Saturday-Sunday, April 4-5, 2020 at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

The invited speaker for the workshop is Dr. Jacee Cho, Assistant Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her remarks are titled “What is unique about second language acquisition?”

Accordingly, this year’s workshop particularly encourages submissions on second language acquisition, with a special emphasis on syntax and semantics. However, submissions are welcome in any field of descriptive, applied, or theoretical linguistics.

Abstracts should be at most one page, with 1-inch margins and 12-point Times New Roman font. A second page may be included for references and/or data. Abstracts should not include the author’s name or affiliation. Abstracts should be submitted online via EasyAbs: http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/WIGL17.

The deadline for submission is January 31, 2020. You will be notified of the status of your submission by February 15, 2020.
