The CALL FOR PAPERS reads:<br>
Three-page abstracts of papers (both for the regular sessions and for
the workshops) and poster descriptions should be sent (preferably
ELECTRONICALLY, or in four hard copies) to the organizer of the
session (or workshop) relevant for the topic of the paper (see list
of</font></div>
<div><font face="Times" color="#000000">sessions and list of
workshops) [i.e. to me, address below, for historical linguistics]; in
case of uncertainty about the appropriate session, the abstract may be
sent to the address of the Chair of the Scientific Committee (see
below). The authors should clearly indicate whether they submit an
abstract of a full paper or a description of a poster. Authors of the
accepted papers will be asked to send in a one-page summary of the
paper in a camera-ready format (the instructions will be sent to the
authors together with the information of acceptance), and this summary
will be printed in the volume of abstracts. The slot for paper
presentation will be 30 min long (incl.
discussion). </font></div>

the reasons why 3-page abstracts were asked for, but some of the
abstracts already submitted are much shorter and there is no plan to
eliminate them from consideration.]]</font></div>
