Call for Abstracts
The call for abstracts has passed.
The 42nd West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics (WCCFL 42) will take place on April 12-14, 2024 at the University of California, Berkeley. At this time, all presentations (talks and posters) are planned to take place in-person.
Main Session
Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks and posters on any theoretical or formal aspect of natural language, including but not limited to phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and their interfaces. An individual author may submit up to two submissions and at most one single-authored submission, i.e., either one joint-authored and one single-authored submission, or two joint-authored submissions, at most. There are no special sessions.
Instructions for all abstract submissions
Abstracts must be in PDF format.
Abstracts must not exceed two pages of letter-sized or A4 paper. References can be included on an additional page. Examples, tables, graphs, etc. must be interspersed into the text of the abstract, rather than collected at the end.
Abstracts should have 1″ margins on all sides, set in a font no smaller than 11 points.
Abstracts should have a clear title and should not identify the author(s).
Submissions are limited to one individual and one joint abstract per author, or two joint abstracts per author.
The abstract must be submitted electronically using Oxford Abstracts.
All submissions must indicate (in the Oxford Abstracts system) whether the abstract is to be considered for a poster presentation, a talk, or both.
Note
WCCFL 42 will give preference to new work. For this reason, during the abstract submission process, authors will be asked to inform the Organizing Committee whether their work is under review for publication or has been submitted or accepted for presentation at a major conference. Authors should also notify the Organizing Committee promptly of any change in status of their submissions. (Note that this information will not be shared with reviewers.)
