Forwarded for John Considine:

The fourth International Conference on Historical Lexicography and
Lexicology will take place at the Chateau Lacombe Hotel, Edmonton,
Canada, from Thursday 19 June to Saturday 21 June 2008.

Proposals (in the form of 150-300-word abstracts) are invited for
20-minute papers on any aspect of historical lexicology, the history of
dictionaries, and the making of historical dictionaries, from antiquity
to the present day. Papers may be given, and proposals may be submitted,
in English or French; interpretation services may be available at the
conference. Selected papers from the conference will be published in a
proceedings volume.

Proposals should be sent in the first instance to Prof. John Considine,
<john.considine at ualberta.ca>, and should reach him by 31 January 2008.
Acceptances or refusals will normally be sent within fourteen days of
the receipt of individual proposals. It may be possible for the
conference to subsidize the travel and accommodation costs of Canadian
graduate students who wish to present papers.
