Meeting Description:

The Workshop on Immigrant Languages in the Americas, now in its seventh year,
focuses on both formal and sociolinguistic approaches to language context
situations, especially in heritage language communities (naturally acquired
languages spoken in a community where it is not the majority variety).


Call for Papers: 

We invite abstracts for 30-minute presentations (20 minutes + 10 minutes for
questions) on any aspect of the linguistics of heritage languages in the
Americas (e.g., structural, generative, historical, sociolinguistic, or
experimental). Abstracts should be no more than one page in length, but may
include a second page with diagrams, charts, and references. Supported files
include: .doc, .docx, .pdf, and .tex files. The abstract itself should be
anonymous; any and all identifying information is to be provided on the online
abstract submission form.

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!
