 Subject: New Abstract Deadline: 2008 LSA Annual Meeting
      To: LSA-STUDENTS at LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG

Dear LSA Member,

The 82nd Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Society of America will take place at 
the Chicago Palmer House Hilton, 3-6 January 2008. The American Dialect 
Society, the American Name Society, the North American Association for the 
History of the Language Sciences, and the Society for the Study of the 
Indigenous Languages of the Americas will meet concurrently with the LSA.

Plenary speakers for the 2008 Meeting are:

Mary Beckman (The Ohio State University)
Sandra Chung (University of California, Santa Cruz)
John Goldsmith (University of Chicago)

In addition, there will be a plenary symposium on the first and second days of 
the meeting titled "Sociolinguistics and Linguistic Theory: Giving and Taking", 
organized by Dennis Preston (Michigan State University). 

Abstract Submissions:  All abstracts will be reviewed by the Program Committee 
and by a panel of 70+ external expert reviewers. Because of the expanded review 
process, and due to a steady increase in abstract submissions, the abstract 
submission deadline is now one month earlier than in the past.

The new deadline for submitting abstracts for the 2008 Annual Meeting is 
Wednesday, 1 August 2007, 5:00 PM EDT. All abstracts for papers and posters, 
and all proposals for organized sessions must be submitted electronically; see 
the LSA website (http://lsadc.org/info/meet-annual.cfm) for details. The on-
line abstract submission facility is now open.

Note:  For the 2008 Annual Meeting, members may submit up to two abstracts: one 
single-authored and one multi-authored, or two abstracts with multiple authors. 
Organized session abstracts are considered multi-authored papers.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the LSA by email 
(lsa at lsadc.org).

With best wishes,

Gregory Ward
Secretary-Treasurer, LSA

p.s. Please help spread the word about the new August 1 deadline!
