Submission
Presentations at the 18th International Conference of the Society
for Text and Discourse (ST&D) can be in the form of POSTERS or
SPOKEN PAPERS.
The deadline for submitting proposals for both presentation formats
is
12:00AM Central (midnight) on February 15, 2008.
A Review Committee will review the proposals, and authors will be
notified regarding acceptance by the end of March 2008.
Please note that presentations that report empirical research (which
is expected, with rare exceptions) must be based on research that
is completed at the time that the proposal is submitted.
Please submit proposals in English using the OpenConf Conference
Management System
http://aeon.psyc.memphis.edu/std08
and using the instructions available on the instructions
page.
Please contact conference@societyfortextanddiscourse08.org
if you have questions regarding the submission of your paper.
Papers will be scheduled for 20 minutes, with an additional 5 minutes for questions and discussion. Posters are scheduled
for a poster session on the second night of the conference.
Proposals for symposia (sessions with multiple papers) should be discussed with the conference organizers prior to submission
and follow the same procedure as proposals for papers.
Outstanding Student Paper Award
The Outstanding Student Paper Award (OPSA) recognizes quality in work that is predominantly that of a graduate student. Accordingly,
the student must be first author on the paper.
Jason Albrecht Outstanding Young Scientist Award
The Jason Albrecht Outstanding Young Scientist Award (JAOYSA) honors the memory of Jason Albrecht, a promising young text and discourse
researcher who passed away in 1996. The award recognizes an outstanding paper based on a doctoral dissertation. The doctoral candidate must
be first author on the paper.
Recipients of each award receive a commemorative certificate and a $150 award check.
Proposals that are eligible for awards undergo two reviews - one by the regular program committee and a second one by the Awards Review
Committee. Only proposals that are accepted for presentation as spoken papers will be considered for the awards.
