CSDL 9

Submissions to the Edited Volume

The organizers of the 9th Conference on Conceptual Structure, Discourse, and Language invite CSDL 9 presenters to submit papers to an edited volume. The volume will be published by CSLI publications. Accepted papers will show evidence of: a well-defined research question of relevance to CSDL-inspired themes and the CSDL literature, clear delineation of the phenomenon of study, precise methodology, and clear results. Papers should be approximately 15-20 published pages in length, including references, tables, figures, etc. Papers must be submitted in camera-ready form, formatted using the CSLI template (see below).

Each submission will be sent out for review by two experts in the field following the timeline below. Please be aware that the deadlines for submission of papers and for revision of accepted papers are hard deadlines. Submissions not received by 20 April will not be reviewed. Accepted papers not revised by 15 June will not appear in the volume.

Your paper must be formatted according to the CSLI template, and must be submitted (in camera ready form) as a PDF, with all fonts embedded, to csdl9ATcaseDOTedu.
