Listowners<BR><BR>----------<BR><BR>PLEASE SAVE THIS MESSAGE<BR><BR>Welcome to GALA-L, the official listserve of the International Gender and <BR>Language Association (IGALA). GALA-L began life as a forum for the creation <BR>of an international organization for the study of language, gender, and <BR>sexuality.

Being subscribed to GALA-L is the best way to stay informed about <BR>IGALA activities and events. If you do not want to subscribe to GALA-L, see

This means that only subscribers may post

The listowners <BR>reserve the right to remove from GALA-L anyone whose postings to not <BR>conform to the purpose of the list.<BR><BR>HOW DO I CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISCUSSION?<BR><BR>To post to GALA-L, send a message to GALA-L@LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG.<BR><BR>DOES GALA-L ARCHIVE ITS MESSAGES?<BR><BR>Yes.
