Second Call for Papers for the
International Conference on
COMPARATIVE ROMANCE LINGUISTICS

Invited speakers:

Liliane HAEGEMAN
Richard KAYNE
Brenda LACA

Sanda REINHEIMER
During more than 25 years, Liliane Tasmowski has occupied a leading
position in the field of comparative Romance linguistics,
participating in a large number of scientific research projects at the
University of Antwerp-U.I.A. and abroad. Her scientific dynamism and
genuine passion for Romance languages and in particular for Romanian
has inspired many students and colleagues. Continuing Liliane's work
and projects at her home institution is probably one of the best ways
to honor and surprise her on the occasion of her pre-emeritus status.
Therefore, we invite you to send in abstracts on all aspects of the
syntax, semantics and pragmatics of Romance languages in a comparative
perspective.
Conference languages are English and French.
Presentations will be 20 minutes long, plus 10 minutes for discussion.
Please submit:
- 3 one-page abstracts, spaced in 1,5 lines and in 10-pt Times font
- a separate page with the title of the abstract, the names and
affiliations of all authors and an E-mail address for correspondence
Deadline for submissions: May 1, 2002
Submission address: CRL, Dept.of Romance Languages, Universiteitsplein
