Oral presentation lasts 25 minutes in total (20 minutes for paper presentation and 5 minutes for questions). This 25-minute slot will be followed by 5 minutes for room changes.
We will have at least one student assistant in each of the rooms to help with the computer console and any other practical matters that may arise.
FTL4 will bestow the FTL Young Researchers’ Award (FTL-YRA) upon three deserving young researchers, who must be doctoral candidates or doctoral graduates within the five years prior to 30 June 2018.
The presentation must be an original unpublished investigation dealing with figuration. The Young Researcher Award Committee will select three presentations based on scientific quality, innovation, significance of the contribution to the field, and clarity. The best presentations will receive certificates of recognition and a gift from John Benjamins.
Presentations may be co-authored. Co-authored papers should be presented at the conference by the nominee author, who would also have to be the first author of the paper.
Applicants can mark FTL-YRA upon abstract submission.
