-------------------------<BR>
Next year ALW will be held on 11-13 March on North Stradbroke Island just <BR>
off Brisbane. <BR>
<BR>
The theme of the workshop will be 'Grammatical aspects of post-colonial <BR>
language contact', although papers on other topics concerning Australian <BR>
languages are welcome. Papers on language contact could include various <BR>
types of contact, for example: <BR>
<BR>
* contact languages, e.g. Kriol, youth Aboriginal varieties, mixed languages <BR>
* language contact between Aboriginal languages and contact English <BR>
varieties e.g. borrowings, calques, code-switching <BR>
* contact between different Aboriginal languages (for example from forced <BR>
population movement as a result of colonisation). <BR>
<BR>
We hope that the mix of papers reflects all of the work going on in <BR>
Australian languages in universities, language centres and community groups <BR>
around Australia. <BR>
<BR>
This year we are requesting that presenters send us the title of their <BR>
proposed papers, not just an expression of interest. <BR>
<BR>
The deadline for sending us titles is December 10. <BR>
<BR>
The venue will be the UQ Moreton Bay Research Station. There is <BR>
accommodation at the research station, and food will be provided. The cost <BR>
of the weekend will probably be around $165. Accommodation is also available <BR>
in the nearby township of Dunwich. <BR>
<BR>
Getting there: From Brisbane airport allow 2 hours. By train ($23) or taxi <BR>
($80) to ferry terminal; then ferry ($15). The research station is walking <BR>
distance from the ferry terminal on Stradbroke Island. <BR>
<BR>
More information about the workshop will be available on the School of <BR>
Languages and Comparative Cultural Studies at the University of Queensland <BR>
website in early 2011. <BR>
