Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics

Call Deadline: 15-Feb-2006

Meeting Description:

The LSA Summer Meeting has returned! In addition to providing a forum 
for the presentation of research in any area of linguistics, the 
meeting will focus on issues of particular relevance and importance to 
graduate students. While open to everyone, the summer meeting is 
intended to foster networking and interaction among graduate students, 
and between graduate students and more senior linguists. This year's 
theme will be connections within and across boundaries.

Program: 20-minute papers (with 10 additional minutes allocated for 
discussion) and a poster session. Abstracts from all areas of 
linguistics and from all theoretical perspectives are welcome. The 
meeting will also feature a plenary by the President of the LSA, three 
plenary workshop sessions, and invited talks by junior level faculty.

Plenary lecture: Sally McConnell-Ginet, President of the LSA

Plenary workshops:

Getting published, getting funded, and getting a job Issues in 
professional ethics Future directions in linguistics

Invited talks: TBA

Abstract submission and review: Abstract submittal forms and review 
guidelines are available on-line at the LSA website 
http://www.lsadc.org. All abstracts must be submitted electronically, 
and will be reviewed by the LSA Program Committee. Abstract submission 
is restricted to members of the LSA. For information about joining the 
LSA, visit the LSA website.

A member may submit at most one individual and one joint abstract. In 
case of joint authorship, one address should be designated for 
communication with the LSA Program Committee. Although all LSA members 
will be eligible to submit an abstract, graduate students are 
especially encouraged to participate, and priority will be given to 
graduate student submissions.

Funding: The LSA has applied to the NSF for funds to support 30 travel 
grants that will be available for graduate students whose papers or 
posters are accepted for presentation at the meeting. These grants are 
intended to cover travel expenses, housing, and per diem for the 
duration of the conference. Graduate student members of the LSA are 
asked to indicate their interest in being considered for a travel grant 
at the time of abstract submission. Further information on funding is 
available at http://www.lsadc.org.

Contact information: For further conference information, please contact 
Prof. Wendy Wilkins (MSU), or the LSA Secretariat.
