<DIV><FONT size=4>The original idea was to publish the sign language papers
which were presented at the 14th Sociolinguistics Symposium held at Ghent
University, Belgium in April 2002. However, since not all sign language
sociolinguists working on a European Sign Language may have been able to
attend the conference we wanted to issue a wider call for
contributions. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Therefore, we would like to invite data-based sociolinguistics
papers on a European Sign Language before 30th December 2002 which will then be
sent out for blind review. Authors will be notified of acceptance before March
2003. Final publication is expected in 2004.
