Abstract Submissions

We invite abstracts for 15-minute talks (+5 minutes for questions) and poster presentations in the following areas:
    •    first language acquisition and multilingualism
    •    language production
    •    language comprehension
    •    language-cognition interactions
    •    literacy development and written language processing
    •    language disorders
    •    corpus-based and computational psycholinguistics
    •    neurobiology of language
and all other areas of psycholinguistics in the context of the subcontinent’s linguistic landscape.

Abstracts can report studies that are not on South Asian languages so long as they explicitly discuss why it would be valuable to replicate or extend the study to South Asian languages. Abstracts should report completed experiments, not experiment design. 

The maximum length for the abstract is 3 pages. This includes example sentences, figures, and bibliography. The abstracts must be anonymized. Please ensure that there is a 2.5 cm margin on all sides, that the text is single-spaced, and that you use a 12-point Times New Roman font. IPA symbols may be used as necessary. 

Please make sure your abstract is clear, detailed, and convincing. 
- For sample abstracts, please view these LSA model abstracts: https://www.lsadc.org/model-abstracts
- Abstract-writing guidelines are also available at this LSA recorded webinar: https://www.lsadc.org/how-to-convince-in-a-page

Please specify explicitly if your submission is intended to be a talk or a poster. Abstracts that are accepted as talks can be presented online if you are unable to travel to Boulder. All poster presentations are virtual.

The abstract should be submitted as a single PDF file at the EasyAbs site on Linguistlist. 

Abstracts will be reviewed on a rolling basis starting 2 October 2024 until 31 August 2025. Please allow at least 2 weeks for notification of a decision on your abstract.
