name summary

[Trechter, Sara]

Since July 7 (as far back as I went in the archives), there have been a
number of names and acronyms proposed.  A lot of people liked the idea of
sticking with 'gala.'  Here's the summary of names and associated ideas.


Gender and Language Association  GALAS
Gender and Language Association GALA-X (a variable)
	along with a proposal to consider journal names in conjunction with
this project!
International Association for the Study of Gender and Language. IALG/or IALG
Association for Gender and Language?  ALG
Gender and Language Association GLA (read as GaLA)
Language and Gender Association LAGA (fizzy beer 'lager' or Deutsch pow camp
:))
Language and Gender Research Association LAGRA
International Language and Gender Association IGALA (like 'equal')
Gender and Language Association International GALAI (galaj, galej, or
gala'i)
Gall (spirit or bitterness
Gale (fierce wind)
Gender and Language International Association GALIA (pointed out that this
is the word for insults of the 4-letter  type in some East Indian languages.
ALaGenI (Association for Language and Gender International)
Gender and Language Association Neo and Traditional GALANT

Two of these may have never made it to the list as a whole (Galant and
Laga).  Please feel free to add, correct, or re-post any omissions, and then
we can move to a vote.
