<DIV>Hi Charles and everyone,<BR></DIV>
<DIV> I will be very pleased to write
for a "call for papers" before September 1st 2008. However, I need the
exact dates because I will fill in the University of Ottawa grant application
form concerning registration fees, transportation costs, hotel fees and so on,
at beginning of September 2008. Therefore, I hope I will get the exact
dates before September 1st 2008 because the University of Ottawa fund will run
out of money next October. </DIV>

<DIV> You know that the Deaf Canadian Conference
will be held in Calgary (Canada) from July 22nd to 26th 2008. On
July 23rd at 11:00 AM, a deaf teacher and I will give an hour long
presentation titled "SignWriting". <BR></DIV>
<DIV> Val, I would appreciate receiving
various materials (CD or other things) which I would gladly
distribute to Deaf or hearing participants attending conferences.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#ffff00></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV> Kind regards,</DIV>

Linguistics Society Conference - Call for Papers</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Valerie: Taking the cost of interpreters off the top will
really help.<BR><BR>The costs that I'm coming up with include the hotel and
meals, including a food plan. The registration costs will include
administrative fees to ensure that everything gets done including recording
the session and registration staff. This is exciting. We may, if
all works out, be able to do it this year (2008), depending on costs and
availability. If not, we can plan for Spring 2009. <BR><BR>I live in an
area that knows how to create and plan conferences quickly. Until we
have a price it is impossible to do a "call for papers", though my hope is
that we will have at least 20 presenters. <BR><BR>Perhaps we can start
that "call for papers" here.<BR><BR>CALL FOR PAPERS: (Please post where
appropriate):<BR><BR>SignWriting Linguistics Society* in cooperation with the
Center for Sutton Movement Writing calls for papers on the use of SignWriting
in Lingustics. Any signed language is welcome to present using any
subject matter. <BR><BR>Subjects may include linguistics, literacy,
vocabulary acquisition, and SignWriting instruction. <BR><BR>Each
presenter should include the following in bid:<BR><BR>1) Name<BR>2)
Address<BR>3) Contact Information<BR>4) Credentials<BR>5) Interpreting Needs
(Deaf, Deaf-Blind, Hard of Hearing, Hearing)<BR>6) Title of Presentation<BR>7)
Abstract - Up to 300 words<BR>8) Length of Presentation - 30 minutes, 1 hour,
1.5 hours (maximum)<BR>9) AV Needs (PC portal, overhead projector, flip
charts)<BR>10) Mobility needs (the hotel meeting space is flat and without
stairs or obstacles)<BR><BR>In addition, Poster Sessions will also be
available. If you have a presentation that can best be done as a
free-standing poster, let us know. We have room for up to 12 poster
sessions which will be up for the duration of the conference.<BR><BR>DEADLINE:
Abstract Deadline for this first call is September 1, 2008. There may be
a second call. <BR><BR>It is our intention that this conference will be
open to all, and especially to Gallaudet University students, faculty, and
staff. <BR><BR>Send abstracts to:<BR><BR>Charles Butler<BR>3205 Kimberly
Road<BR>Hyattsville, MD 20782<BR><BR>*SignWriting Linguistics Society is a
private venture formed for this conference only. Send inquiries to
Charles Butler at the address above or call (240) 764-5748.<BR><BR><BR><BR>
