language variation and change.

Keynote speakers:

Nik Coupland  (Cardiff University)
Paul Foulkes  (University of York)
Norma Mendoza-Denton  (University of Arizona)

Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words (including references) and
must be submitted in one of the following electronic formats; word document
(.rtf or .doc), pdf, or in the body of an email message. They should be
sent to uklvc5 at abdn.ac.uk on or before 1 March 2005. Oral presentations
will be expected to last 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions.

Abstracts should include the following information:

        Preferred presentation type (oral or poster)
        Author(s) name and title
        Author(s) affiliation
        Title of paper/poster
        Abstract
        References (if appropriate)

You will be notified on or soon after April 15 on whether or not your
abstract has been accepted. There will be no parallel session for oral
presentations. We would therefore encourage submission of abstracts for
poster presentations, particularly as posters will be displayed in a
prominent position for the duration of the conference.
