Meeting Description:

The Linguistics Society at the University of Georgia (LSUGA) announces the 4th
Annual Linguistics Conference at UGA (LCUGA4). Following in the tradition of
previous LCUGAs, we invite presentations which span linguistics subfields as
well as incorporate interdisciplinary research from other areas of the
sciences and humanities. Our focus this year is “Crossing Boundaries”. 

We are proud to welcome the following plenary speakers to LCUGA4:

Dr. Walt Wolfram, North Carolina State University
Dr. Amanda Dalola, University of South Carolina
Dr. Susan Tamasi, Emory University

Please see our Call for Papers for more details.


Call for Papers:

The central focus of LCUGA4 is ''Crossing Boundaries''. We encourage creative
interpretation of this focus, and welcome papers that address any of a myriad
of what may be considered linguistic boundaries. Potential topics include, but
are not limited to: 

- Sociolinguistic variables that shape geographic or cultural dialect
boundaries
- Boundaries dictated by time (e.g. diachronic analysis)
- The boundary between the classroom and the community
- Phonetic/phonological explorations of segment, syllable, word, and
intonational unit boundaries
- Syntactic phase boundaries
- The human/computer interface
- Second/additional language perception, production, and acquisition. 

In keeping with our focus, we especially welcome presentations concerned with
the interfaces between different modules of the grammar (e.g. the
syntax-phonology interface), those which draw on methodologies associated with
multiple subfields or which are collaborative or interdisciplinary in nature,
and those that bridge the gap between academia and the non-academic community.
Although preference will be given to high-quality submissions which address
our central focus, we also welcome presentations on any topic relevant to the
field of linguistics. 

One $100 travel award for Best Student Abstract will be awarded at the
conference. All papers presented will be eligible for publication in our LCUGA
proceedings.

Applicants are welcome to submit up to two abstracts, one single-authored and
one co-authored contribution. Presenters will be allotted 20 minutes, plus
5-10 minutes of discussion. Abstracts must not exceed 500 words (not including
title and references); any examples should be incorporated into the text of
the abstract with relevant figures, charts, and/or graphs included on a single
separate page. Abstracts must be in Word (.doc) format, and should not include
any personally identifying information. Submissions that do not comply with
the above guidelines will not be considered for acceptance. 

Please submit all abstracts via EasyAbs at linguistlist.org/easyabs/lcuga4.
For questions and inquiries regarding LCUGA4, please see our website
www.lsuga.com or email ugalinguistics at gmail.com.
