Writing
Conference Abstracts.
Notes
for LG554 by Peter L. Patrick
Writing
abstracts for conferences is an important art for academic linguists
to master. It is not only a key job skill for the professional, but
a knowledge of how they are written and read can help in your
reading of the literature as a student. The job of conference
abstracts is to inform organizers of your work that is either
completed or currently developing, so that they can judge its
intrinsic interest and likely quality against the others submitted.
It is a competitive process, but one to be undertaken seriously. It
projects the future (your ultimate findings; the full conference
paper), and must do so convincingly and responsibly.
Conference
abstracts are different in nature from several related forms:
summary abstracts of completed work for publication (e.g. of
dissertations, or of published articles); and projections of
research to be done (often required in applications for funds,
permission or resources). The different audiences and purposes must
be kept in mind. In most cases, all such descriptions of research
must be very short, kept to a strict length limit, and must
represent the final product fairly and attractively.
