SULA 4: THE SEMANTICS OF UNDER-REPRESENTED LANGUAGES IN THE AMERICAS 

May 24- 26, 2007 
Universidade de São Paulo - USP 
São Paulo, SP 
Brazil 

The Department of Linguistics at the University of São Paulo, is pleased to 
announce the fourth conference on the Semantics of Under-Represented 
Languages in the Americas. The goal of the conference is to bring together 
researchers working on languages or dialects which do not have an 
established tradition of work in formal semantics. We also invite 
submissions from those working on child languages (acquisition of 
semantics). We especially encourage abstract submissions from those whose 
work involves primary fieldwork or experimentation as well as analysis. We 
strongly encourage the participation of graduate students. The conference 
will be organized into panel discussions. The paper length will be 30 
minutes, plus 15 minutes for discussion.
