Each paper will be allotted at least 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion.Selection of papers is based on anonymous review of abstracts. A selection committee will be formed to review the submitted abstracts which are considered by the reviewers to be of high interest to the development of theoretical East Asian linguistics and linguistic theory in general.
