                         Call for Papers
                            LASSO XXVI

                    26th Annual Meeting of the
             Linguistic Association of the Southwest

                        October 3-5, 1997
               University of California-Los Angeles

Invited Speakers:  Ofelia Zepeda (University of Arizona)
                   Kenneth Hale (MIT)

Proposals for papers in any area of linguistics will be
considered. For the 1997 meeting in Los Angeles, submissions
regarding minority languages are particular-ly encouraged. We
also especially solicit graduate student papers, which may be
submitted following the meeting for consideration for the Helmut
Esau Prize, a $250 cash award made annually by LASSO.

Presentation time for papers will be limited to twenty minutes
plus ten minutes for discussion.

THE DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF ABSTRACTS IS JUNE 15, 1997;
notification of acceptance of papers will be sent out by August
1, 1997. Only one abstract as single author and a second as co-author
will be accepted from any individual.

Abstracts must be no longer than one page (c. 250 words) and
should summarize the main points of the paper and explain
relevant aspects of the data, method-ology, and argumentation
employed. Abstracts of accepted papers will be published exactly
as received in a booklet for distribution at the meeting. At the
beginning of your abstract place the paper title, and at the end
of the abstract (or on a separate page) repeat the title along
with your name, affiliation, mailing address, telephone number,
and e-mail address.

It is preferred that abstracts be submitted by e-mail to:
          rking at mail.utexas.edu

In the absence of e-mail, or if your abstract contains any
special symbols, send one hard copy of the abstract (preferably
with a diskette, labeled for operating system and word processing
program) to:
          Robert D. King
          Department of Linguistics
          University of Texas
          Austin, TX 78746 USA
               Tel. (512 ) 471-1701

LASSO presenters are encouraged to submit their polished papers
to be considered for publication in the *Southwest Journal of
Linguistics*.

privilege of membership in LASSO; 1997 dues must be paid by June
15 in order for your abstract to be considered. Annual membership
