Call for Papers
Fifth Berkeley Women and Language Conference
April 24-26; Berkeley Conference Center, Berkeley, California
The Berkeley Women and Language Group is currently welcoming abstracts
for the Fifth Berkeley Women and Language Conference, with a
submission deadline of December 15, 1997. In addition to individual
papers, you may organize and submit panel sessions. This year's
conference has no specific overall theme, but all papers and panels
must in some way involve issues of language and gender.
The Women and Language Conference is interdisciplinary, and usually
includes work from a variety of fields ranging from anthropology to
mass communication, with everything else in between. We are
particularly interested in topics not usually seen at the conference:
methodology of language and gender research, phonetics of gender,
non-biased language movements, historical change in gendered language,
and the like. Papers need not explicitly compare women's and men's
speech, and while we encourage work on women's and girls' speech,
studies of men's or boys' speech is also welcome.
This year's invited speakers are:
Deborah Cameron, Department of English Studies, Strathclyde
University, Glasgow
Janice Gould, Department of English, University of Northern Colorado
Jeri Jaeger, Department of Linguistics, State University of New York
at Buffalo
Bea Medicine, Faculty of Educational Policy Studies, University of
Alberta
Leslie Milroy, Program in Linguistics, University of Michigan
Patricia Nichols, Department of Linguistics & Language Development,
San Jose State University
Suzanne Romaine, Merton College, Oxford University
Ana Celia Zentella, Hunter College and the Graduate Center, City
University of New York
And a special presentation by Ursula K. LeGuin, author
As a condition of participation, all speakers and panels must submit
their conference papers for publication in the Proceedings of the
Fifth Berkeley Women and Language Conference. Please note that this
year, all authors must bring a completed version of their papers with
them to the conference. Speakers will be allowed 20 minutes for
presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Submitted panels will be
allowed 1, 1 1/2, or 2 hours, of which part should be used for
questions. To submit an abstract for an individual paper, send six
copies of an anonymous abstract to the address below, and one copy of
a 150-word short abstract for the conference program. The long
abstract should be just one page long, although a second page may be
used for data, figures, and references. Make your abstract as specific
as possible: include a statement of your topic or problem, your
approach, and your conclusions. Along with the abstracts, include a
card with 1. the paper title, 2. your name, 3. your department and
university affiliation, if any, and 4. the email and street address at
which we can contact you. (Make clear whether the affiliation is part
of the address.) Submitted panels will not be reviewed anonymously,
and panel abstracts may be up to 4 pages long. They must state 1. who
the primary organizer of the panel is, 2. who will participate in the
panel in what way, 3. what the structure of the panel will be, 4. how
much time you would like allotted, and 5. all the contact information
listed above for individual submissions. You may be primary author of
one individual paper and also either the second author of another
paper or a participant in a submitted panel.
The deadline for receipt of all submissions at our office is December
15th, 1997. Abstracts received after the deadline will not be
considered. Acceptance and rejection notifications will be mailed out
in early February, 1998.
Address all correspondence to:
Berkeley Women and Language Group, 2337 Dwinelle Hall, #2650, Department of
