1. The procedure for organizing a workshop at ICHL20

1) Please submit your proposal, with at least a few names of potential participants and tentative titles, and if possible the number of expected participants, by October 15, 2010.
2) After the accepted workshops are announced on our website, the participants can provide us with their abstracts using the form that is provided on the website, and an indication of the workshop that they wish their presentation to be included in. The paper abstracts need to be in our hands before January 15, 2011.
3) We will forward to the organizers all the abstracts we receive for the workshop. Please screen them and finalize your workshop plan. The final workshop description should be sent to sec@ichl2011.com by February 28, 2011.

2. The venue of ICHL21

The 21st Conference in 2013 will be held at the University of Oslo, in Norway, under the Presidency of Dag Trygve Truslew Haug.

 

3. How do I join the International Society for Historical Linguistics (ISHL)?

The Society exists solely in order to organize a biennial conference; nominal fees are subsumed in the conference fee. Everyone who has been to either or both of the two preceding conferences is regarded as a member of the society.

 

4. How do I join the mailing list for ICHL20?

There is no mailing list exclusive to ICHL20. Please join the mailing list HISTLING-L, the electronic discussion list of the International Society for Historical Linguistics (ISHL). All future postings related to ICHL20 will appear there. To subscribe, please
visit: https://mailman.rice.edu/mailman/listinfo/histling-l.

 

5. Requesting an early acceptance of a paper abstract

Please submit your abstract through our website, then send a note to submissions@ichl2011.com specifying a date by which you need to have a formal response.

 

6. Registration, conference dinner and excursion fees

We are hoping to announce the conference fees in October, but tentatively we hope to keep them in the vicinity of the following:

Early Registration (until April 30, 2011): 20,000 JPY
Regular Registration (from May 1, 2011): 25,000 JPY
(Students half price)

The excursion fee will depend on which of the various excursions that are being planned is taken, but we hope to limit the fees to between 3,000 JPY and 5,000 JPY.

The conference dinner is still being planned, but will probably run to around 5,000 JPY.

 

7. How many papers can a conference participant present?

Each participant can present a maximum of two papers. Either: (a) one as the sole author and one as a co-author, or (b) two as the sole author, as long as one of the two is part of a workshop.

 

8. About equipment that will be available in the conference rooms

All of the conference rooms will be equipped with PC computers, and computer projectors (beamers). Mac users will need to carry their own connecting cable if they wish to use a projector. All conference rooms will also have wireless LAN access.

 

9. About photo-copying

The Museum that is hosting the conference will not be providing any photo-copying services and there are no places in the immediate vicinity of the museum for doing photo-copying. If a participant needs to make copies of a handout, he/she will need to go to a convenience store, most of which have copying machines. Other possible places are hotels, and post offices. The closest convenience stores are located in the Senri Chuo station area, where many participants will be staying.
