Over'' is the theme and keyword of this year’s conference, with a view to
encouraging research beyond micro-linguistics. 

Call for Papers: 

We cordially invite both regional and international scholars and students to
submit abstracts on all areas of linguistics related to Cantonese and other
Yue dialects. We welcome, in particular, research that is multidisciplinary,
pluralistic, and comparative. Whereas topics in all areas of linguistics are
welcome, research related to the following topics or methodology would be
especially encouraged:

- studies on the varieties of Yue across multiple neighborhoods, cities and/or
regions
- comparative studies on Chinese dialects, primarily those in Southern China,
and their interrelationships with the Yue dialects
- crosslinguistic research that adopts quantitative, sociological, cultural,
and/or ethnographic approaches
- applied linguistics studies that go beyond pure theoretical linguistics.

Details of the Conference are as follows:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 advisor.

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 Indiana University 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!
