2ND SYDNEY PAPUANISTS' WORKSHOP - DEADLINE EXTENDED

[James McElvenny]

The deadline for abstracts has been extended to 4 May. Quite a few  
people didn't give us their abstracts because they thought they'd  
missed the closing date.

2ND SYDNEY PAPUANISTS' WORKSHOP

Now calling for papers and for registration of participants.

It's been almost two years since the first Papuanists' Workshop  
(summarised at http://blogs.usyd.edu.au/elac/2006/11/papuanists_workshop_wrapup.html) 
  and now it's time for another. The linguistics departments at Sydney  
University and in RSPAS at the ANU are organising the second  
Papuanists' Workshop. It will be held on Saturday and Sunday 28-29  
June 2008 at the University of Sydney, right before Lingfest gets  
started (http://www.lingfest.arts.usyd.edu.au/). Anyone who has an  
interest in Papuan languages and linguistics is invited to come and  
present a paper or just listen to other people's papers and join in  
the discussion.

Papers should be 20 or 40 mins long and on a topic related to Papuan  
languages or linguistics. We're hoping to have one day dedicated to  
talks on the theme of 'giving back to the community', making practical  
use of our linguistic research for the benefit of the community by  
such means as developing orthographies and producing educational  
materials. Talks related to topics of this sort are especially welcome.

For more information on the conference, see the conference website, http://conferences.arts.usyd.edu.au/index.php?cf=19 
  , which is being constantly updated.

The closing date for abstracts is 4 May 2008. To submit a title and  
abstract for a paper or to register, e-mail James McElvenny at  
james.mcelvenny at arts.usyd.edu.au
