Meeting Description:

The theme for the 2006 conference is “The Future of Semiotics.” We 
encourage papers that address semiotics as a diverse but unified field 
of study and that consider its future prospects within the academy. 
Following tradition, our theme is non-exclusive and, indeed, we welcome 
submissions addressing any topic within our diverse discipline, whether 
theoretical or applied.

Call for Papers:

Please submit abstracts of 100 to 350 words carefully composed to give a 
clear sense of your proposal. Please also include a short list of 
keywords for our program index and be sure to state specifically any AV 
requirements. Participants will have thirty minutes for their 
presentations, including time for questions and discussion. Abstracts 
should be sent to the Chair of the Program Committee, Nathan Houser, at 
nhouseriupui.edu. Send your abstracts both in the body of your email and 
in an attachment (do not use special fonts or graphics). The deadline 
for submission is 30 April 2006. The program committee welcomes 
proposals for symposia.
