ARCHIVED CALL FOR PAPERS
CALL FOR PAPERS The 19th Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing will be held at the Graduate School and University Center of the City University of New York, hosted by the Ph.D. Program in Linguistics. Dates for the conference are March 23-25, 2006. Abstracts are solicited for papers and posters presenting theoretical, experimental, and/or computational research on any aspect of human sentence processing. Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously, and will be considered both for the general conference sessions and for a special session under the theme "Speech input, speech output". Accepted presentations will form a program made up of three days of spoken papers presented in plenary session, and three poster sessions (one on each day of the conference). Time constraints entail that fewer than 20% of accepted presentations can be given as talks at the podium. Therefore, reviewers will be asked to identify submissions that seem most likely to generate broad interest due to originality of ideas or significance to the field.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 12:00 NOON EASTERN STANDARD TIME, MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2005 This deadline applies to all submissions, paper or poster. Notifications concerning acceptance/rejection will be made by mid-January 2006. ABSTRACT GUIDELINES In the "Authors" section of the electronic submissions page, please include affiliation information in parentheses and use the following conventions to list multiple authors:
The electronic submissions system accepts an abstract uploaded in a file OR entered as ASCII text. Choose whichever method you feel most comfortable with. In either case, the text of the abstract should be no longer than 500 words. You may also include examples, references and data summaries (but please, no data charts or diagrams). This additional material, taken together, should not exceed 15 lines of text. The abstract title does NOT count towards the word limit. Each submission will be acknowledged by email to the corresponding author, using information entered in the "Contact Information" panel. That email acknowledgment assigns an automatically generated password. Using that password, you may revise an already submitted abstract. Submissions to be considered for the Jerrold J. Katz Young Scholar Award must have a young scholar as the first author. Any author listed as the first author on a presentation, who is pre-doctoral or up to three years post-PhD, and who is not yet tenured, will be eligible for consideration.
INFORMATION ON THE SPECIAL SESSION A special session entitled “Speech input, speech output” will highlight developments in research on language processing that have become possible as a result of technical advances in analyzing, manipulating, and presenting speech signals. Many specific topics fall under this rubric, including (but not limited to) sentence-level studies that draw on spoken language corpora, that explore the benefits vs. complications of using speech input in brain-imaging or other methodologies, that focus on features of spontaneous production, e.g., colloquial usage, disfluency, prosody, or that extend experimental paradigms to otherwise untapped populations, e.g., pre-literate children, low-literacy adults. |
