Gniezno is a city of about 70,000 inhabitants, located some 50 km east 
of Poznan. It boasts a history of over a thousand years, having been the 
first capital of Poland in the 10th and 11th centuries. The city centre

tourist routes traverse the surrounding scenic countryside.

Sessions:

The leitmotif of the 38th PLM will be ''Linguistic topics at the start of 
the new century: an overview''. The aim of PLM 2007 is to provide an 
overview of current topics in linguistics in the first decade of the 
21st century. Proposals of papers in any field of modern linguistics are 
welcome. This includes both theoretical and applied linguistics, as well 
as interdisciplinary research. So far, five thematic sessions have been 
proposed:

- Slavic phonotactics (Organisers: Eugeniusz Cyran and Katarzyna 
Dziubalska-Kolaczyk)
- Celtic languages -- Their description and impact (Organiser: Sabine Heinz)
- The dynamics of speech and formal phonology (Organiser: Geoffrey Schwartz)
- Anglicisms (Organiser: Marcin Kilarski)
- North American Dialects (Organiser: Radoslaw Dylewski)

Papers for these sessions are warmly invited; however, we also strongly 
encourage all colleagues interested in organising their own 
sessions/workshops to contact us with ideas and proposals.

Each paper will be given 30 minutes, including 5-10 minutes for 
discussion; poster presentations are also an option. The language of the 
conference is English.
