Contributions should be 1-2 pages, grayscale, PG-rated, and commercial free please; rtf, doc, odt, html, jpg, or png format. Larger submissions may be accepted if they are especially helpful - e.g. Donald Boozer's Conlanger's Bookshelf in the LCC2 program.
Presentations & other events
The LCC3 is hosting five types of events:
- Traditional, full-length talks that address some point of interest to conlangers
- Shorter talks (< 15 min) that describe what's neat about your own conlang or other work
- Posters, that contain anything of interest to conlangers (and will have a special poster session for low-stress sharing)
- Tutorials and workshops, which can be up to 2 hours long, and teach something relating to conlangs or linguistics in a hands-on fashion
- Unconference sessions, which provide loose, semi-structured frameworks for group discussion
If you are interested in participating, please email and see our call for papers!
Press
We welcome members of the press and will actively assist you in researching a story about conlangs or conlangers. Please see our press page for details and links.
Press registration is the same as for any other attendee, but we ask that you identify yourself publicly and briefly let the audience know your affiliation(s) and what you are working on.
