Abstract Requirements Abstracts should be no more than 500 words, including references. They should reflect the soundness of argument, substance of content, and relevance to cognitive linguistics—the three criteria on which acceptance decisions will be based. An abstract about an empirical study, therefore, ought to include preliminary findings. Similarly, an abstract of a theoretical presentation should outline how a position is defended in addition to what that position is. In order to best represent their work, speakers of other languages are strongly encouraged to have their abstracts edited by a native speaker to conform to the conventions of academic English. |
