2. A further item for your diary

The Autumn Meeting of the Linguistics Association of Great Britain

The 1995 Autumn Meeting of the LAGB will be held from Monday 18
September to Wednesday 20 September at the University of Essex at
Wivenhoe Park ("over 200 acres of scenic wooded parkland dotted with
small lakes"), near Colchester ("Britain's oldest recorded town"), where
the LAGB will be the guests of the Department of Language and
Linguistics. The Local Organisers are David Britain
(dbritain at essex.ac.uk) and Stella Markantonato (marks at essex.ac.uk).
        Among the Events are a Language Tutorial on Mayali, given by
Nicholas Evans (Melbourne).  Mayali is a polysynthetic
non-Pama-Nyungan language of Arnhem Land, and the two sessions will
aim to cover the main features of the grammar, exemplified as far as
possible through study of a traditional text. After situating the language
sociolinguistically, most of the tutorial will deal with grammatical features
of typological interest: noun incorporation, applicatives,
reflexive/reciprocals, quantifier prefixes on the verb, and agreement and
non-agreement within the noun class system.
        Enquiries about the LAGB meeting should be sent to the Meetings
Secretary (address below).  Full details of the programme and a booking
form will be included in the Second Circular, to be sent out in June.
        CALL FOR PAPERS:  Members and potential guests are invited to
offer papers (10/25/40 minutes) for the Meeting; abstracts are also
accepted from non-members. Abstracts must arrive by 6 JUNE 1995 and
should be sent in the format whose bare essentials are outlined in a second
to the following address: Professor G. Corbett, Linguistic and
International Studies, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 5XH,
England.  Submit SEVEN anonymous copies of the abstract, plus ONE
with name and affiliation, i.e. CAMERA-READY. The complete abstract
containing your title and your name must be no longer than ONE A4 page
(8.27" x 11.69") with margins of at least 1" on all sides. You may use
single spacing (not more than six linesto the inch) and type must be no
smaller than 12 characters per inch. Type uniformly in black (near-letter
quality on a word processor) and make any additions in black. It is
preferable to print out the abstracts using a laser printer, since if the paper
is accepted the abstract will be photocopied and inserted directly into the
collection of abstracts sent out to participants. WRITE YOUR NAME
AND ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE ON THE BACK OF THE
ABSTRACT WHICH HAS YOUR NAME ON.  (For extensiv e further
guidelines on preparing abstracts please contact Professor Corbett.)
