Originally created through the joint efforts of students from the Linguistic and Anthropology Departments at the University of Texas, SALSA has developed into an interdisciplinary conference with contributions from various fields, including communication studies, foreign language education, educational psychology, media studies, speech communication, and numerous language departments. Our annual proceedings appear in special editions of Texas Linguistic Forum.</font></p><p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This year’s theme is <b>Language and Borders</b>. Language is intimately connected with human existence, and as such, is found at the borders of all areas of human interaction, and even at the borders of what it means to be human. What sorts of borders exist among people, places and institutions? What are the forces and ideological underpinnings that shape and sustain the existence of such borders? How is language related to the bounds of human endeavor? What defines the boundaries of language itself? SALSA XXIII will explore these questions from a variety of viewpoints.</font></p><p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This year's presenters will be: </font></p><div align="center"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><h4>Salikoko S.
