We invite abstract submissions for oral or poster presentations and proposals for thematic sessions and working groups on any aspect of the linguistic study and analysis of Greek (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, computational linguistics, educational linguistics, language instruction, translation, etc.). 

Regular sessions (oral or poster presentations)

Abstract submissions should meet the following guidelines: 

  • They should be anonymous and written in English or Greek.
  • They should be up to one page long (single spaced, 2.5cm margins on all sides and 12pt Times New Roman font size). The one-page limit includes any examples, tables, graphs, references, etc.
  • Authors should indicate whether the abstract is to be considered for an oral presentation, a poster presentation, or both.
  • Abstracts should be submitted as PDF files via the Abstract Submission Form.

Each author may submit up to two abstracts (for two single-authored papers or one single-authored and one co-authored or two co-authored papers). This restriction applies irrespective of whether papers are submitted to general or thematic sessions.

Thematic sessions

A number of thematic sessions will run in parallel to the general sessions of the conference. Proposals for thematic sessions should be sent to the organisers (icgl16@enl.auth.gr) including information on the aims and contribution of the thematic session, number of talks, titles and authors. Proposals should be up to two pages long (single spaced, 2.5 cm margins on all sides and 12pt Times New Roman font size). IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The restriction for 4-8 papers announced in the first call has been lifted. The time allotted for each thematic session will depend on the number of talks but cannot exceed 4 hours. Following acceptance of the thematic session, coordinators will be responsible for the abstract reviewing process. Abstracts should be evaluated by two reviewers on the basis of the criteria described in the Abstract Evaluation Form (docx format, pdf format). Abstracts with scores lower than 10 cannot be accepted. Upon completion of the reviewing process, coordinators are required to submit the abstracts and the reviewer’s comments to the organizing committee at icgl16@enl.auth.gr.

Working groups 

During the conference, participants will have the opportunity to form working groups on topics of their interest. Working groups will provide the opportunity to delegates to meet and discuss with other researchers (experienced or early career), share common interests on specific scientific areas, exchange knowledge and experiences, and initiate new collaborations and research programs. Participants who wish to organize a working group are welcome to submit a short proposal with information about its content. Proposals should be submitted at icgl16@enl.auth.gr. The topics will be collected and the working groups will be scheduled. Interested delegates will be free to attend the working group(s) of their choice.
