This is off by a day from the information that came out on LinguistList last week (which I've pasted in below). Oct. 26-28 seems more likely than 27-29 (Friday-Sunday is more normal for a conference than Saturday-Monday) so I assume the LgList information is correct. Abstract submission information is included in the LgList post. Deadline Aug. 1. Unless there's going to be a different submission proceedure for the Siouan sessions? Bob, I think you said you were going to oversee the formation of special Siouan panels or something??? Maybe the papers won't go through the normal MALC abstract review proceedure, whatever that may be?</DIV>
