Call for Papers:

Papers on West African languages from all sub-disciplines of linguistics are

areal phenomena in West Africa and neighbouring regions. We encourage
discussions focusing on the areal distribution of phonological, morphological,
and syntactic features which cross genetic affiliation and which are thought
to be relevant to establish linguistic areas.

the text of the abstract of no more than 500 words. Data must include
interlinear glosses following the Leipzig Glossing Rules. The 500-word
abstract should be single-spaced and in a Unicode font no smaller than 11
point, and in .pdf or .doc/.docx format.

as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). 
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
