two conferences.)

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

The conference will take place from 30 August to 1 September 2001.
The sole (or main) venue will be College House, Ilam Road,
Christchurch (a hall of residence adjoining the campus of the
University of Canterbury).  The conference will begin at about 9.00

Papers are welcomed on any area of linguistics.  We expect that most
papers will occupy 45-minute time slots (i.e. about 30 minutes plus
15 minutes for discussion), but we will be able to accommodate
shorter papers (30-minutes time slots), and perhaps also longer ones,
as well.  Please indicate any special requirements below.  You are
invited to indicate a provisional title now, and supply an abstract
before 7 June 2001.

The registration fee (which includes morning and afternoon tea and
lunch, and welcoming drinks and nibbles) is:

Dinner is not included in the registration fee or accommodation
charge.  There will be a conference dinner on one of the nights, of
which details and cost will be announced later.  On other nights,
conference-goers will have the choice of dining at one of several
venues on campus, or near the campus in Ilam, or elsewhere in
Christchurch.
