ConSOLE XXIV Call for Papers
York St John University and University of York, 6-8 January 2016

The 24^th edition of the Conference of the Student Organisation of Linguistics in Europe will be held at York St John University in collaboration with the University of York from 6^th to 8^th January 2016. ConSOLE aims to showcase the best papers in linguistics by students throughout Europe and worldwide.

The plenary speakers are: Elena Anagnostopoulou (Crete), Paul Kerswill (York), Tom Koole (Groningen) and Yasutada Sudo (UCL).

Graduate students and advanced undergraduates are invited to submit abstracts for oral presentations (30 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion) and poster presentations. Students submitting must not have defended their PhD before 1^st January 2016.

This year’s ConSOLE will be the first to feature parallel sessions, so we hope to be able to accept even more high-quality abstracts than in previous years. We also hope to extend the scope of the conference by representing more subfields of linguistics than ever before.

We welcome submissions in all subfields of linguistics, including but not limited to syntax, semantics, phonology, morphology, phonetics, pragmatics, language acquisition, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics, forensic linguistics, sociolinguistics, conversation analysis, discourse analysis, historical linguistics, language policy, clinical linguistics and applied linguistics.

We particularly encourage submissions in fields which have been underrepresented in the past, such as sociolinguistics, conversation analysis, pragmatics and language in use. 

The deadline for submission is 31^st August 2015.
