Submission of Abstracts

Submission of abstracts is now active.

The abstract submission deadline has been extended till 31st March 2016.

Please note! Only ISLE members can give a paper. For details on membership please refer to ISLE official website. ISLE offical website

If you are planning to submit a workshop paper please refer first to the list of workshops planned at ISLE4>Workshops. You might want to consider contacting the conveners as well.

To submit a paper please go to EasyChair.

Deadline for all abstracts is 15th March 2016

All abstracts submitted for ISLE4 must comply with the guidelines below.

IMPORTANT: Papers submitted to the thematic sessions must use their individual descriptions and guidelines but they must still be submitted through the EasyChair system.

Identification: The abstract must remain fully anonymous. (You will submit your contact data on the EasyChair submission page but these will be invisible to the reviewers.) Please make sure that your files do not include your name in the metadata (document properties).

Length: Between 300 and 500 words (excluding the title, linguistic examples, and references, if any). Please state the word count of your abstract at the end. If your abstract does not comply with this requirement, you will be requested to modify it. If you require extra space for e.g. figures or syntactic trees, limit those to one extra page. Otherwise, try to keep your abstract within one page.

Formatting: Please limit the formatting to an absolute minimum. The preferred layout is as follows: the page size A4, with 2 cm margins on all sides, Times New Roman 14 pts bold for the title and 12 pts regular for the abstract body.

Accepted file formats: To make the abstracts maximally accessible to our reviewers, please generate a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. A free, open-source PDF generator is available from here. However, if your abstract is accepted, you will be asked to supply an editable file (e.g. Word or OpenOffice) for us to be able to include it in the Book of Abstracts. Thus, you should keep your original file as specified above.

Submitting: You will be asked to create an account first (if you do not already have one). Before submitting a paper for the individual thematic sessions, consult their descriptions. Enter/paste the abstract in the "Abstract" field, but please also submit it as a PDF file in the "Paper" field towards the end of the submission form, especially if special characters (e.g. IPA) or graphics (e.g. syntactic trees) are used.

Resubmission: You can make changes to your abstract before the deadline. This is known as "Resubmission" within the EasyChair system, and is achieved by clicking on your paper number in the top bar, and then selecting "Submit a new version" in the top right-hand corner. From there, attach a new PDF using the "Submission" field (NOT the "Attachment" field). If you wish to also change the abstract entered in the "Abstract" field, this can be achieved by using the "Update information" link on your paper's page. This is the wording used by the EasyChair system, and we cannot change it.
