                        FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
          THE 4TH NORTH WEST CENTRE FOR LINGUISTICS ANNUAL
                      INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

           CO-ORDINATION: SYNTAX, SEMANTICS & PRAGMATICS

   University of Salford, Greater Manchester 16 - 18 November 2001

Organized by Diane Blakemore, ESRI, University of Salford and Robyn
Carston, U.C.L.  with financial support from the Linguistics
Association of Great Britain

KEY-NOTE SPEAKERS:

			Nicholas Asher, University of Austin, Texas
			Caroline Heycock, University of Edinburgh
			Rob Stainton, Carleton University, Ontario
			Mark Steedman, University of Edinburgh

This conference aims to explore the relationships between syntax,
semantics and pragmatics through the analysis of co-ordination. We
welcome papers on either the syntax or semantics or pragmatics of co-
ordination; however, given our aim, we particularly welcome papers
which have implications for the interface between form and interpretation.

A selection of the papers presented at the conference will be published
as a special issue of Lingua, co-edited by Diane Blakemore (Salford) and
Robyn Carston (University College London).

Papers will be 30 minutes duration (plus 10 minutes discussion). The
deadline for abstracts is 1 JUNE 2001.

Because abstracts of accepted papers will be copied and inserted in the
collection of abstracts we ask you to observe the following guidelines:

Maximum length: one A4 page
Margins: at least 2.5 cm on all sides
Single spacing
Type: no smaller than 12 point.
