The aim of this conference is to provide an open and widely accessible
forum to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate and undergraduate
students, with research issues from all fields of Linguistics and TESOL.

The main feature that distinguishes this conference is its focus on *freedom*:
- Freedom from linguistic sub-field divisions;
- Freedom from an established and rigid theme for presentations;
- Freedom from fees!

Call For Papers

Authors are invited to submit abstracts for papers, colloquia, poster
presentations, or hot topics.

Single papers: Papers will be 40 minutes in length, with 30 minutes for
presentation, and 10 minutes for questions/discussion.

Colloquia: Colloquia will be 90 minutes in length. Their internal structure is
up to their organisers, but sufficient time for discussion is encouraged.

Hot topics: Hot topic talks will be 20 minutes in length, with 10 minutes for
the talk and 10 minutes for Q&A/discussion. We especially welcome
proposals in this category from young researchers/students with new and
challenging ideas.

30-minute allotment per session. This format may suit young researchers
who want to present their work in a less formal format.
