Papers presented at the confernce may be considered for publication, following review, in a special issue of the journal Language and Intercultural Communication which will be edited by conference organiser, Jan Walravens, and the journal's Editor, John Corbett.

For your paper to be considered you must submit at the time of the conference a complete version of your text (3,500 words - this does not include bibliography and appendices) in publication-ready format according to the journal's submission guidelines Multilingual Matters. Please note that word length for conference publication volumes is shorter than for other LAIC volumes.Presenters should note that the journal is an international, peer-reviewed journal and only a small number of papers will be finally selected for immediate publication.

Long abstracts will be published on the conference website once the conference programme has been finalised. Please refer to the webpage Submitting a Proposal for the presentation format and style required for long abstracts.

Short abstracts of all presentations will then be published in a booklet to be included in delegates' conference packs. Please refer to the webpage Submitting a Proposal for the presentation format and style required for extended abstracts.
