*         Abstracts for papers or poster sessions in any area of
linguistics are welcome, although proposals on the theme are
particularly encouraged. 
*         Presentation time for papers will be twenty minutes plus ten
minutes for discussion. Guidelines for poster sessions will be on the
LASSO web site.  Poster sessions will be on Friday, October 4.
*         Only one abstract as single author and a second as co-author
will be accepted from any one individual. 
*         Submissions by graduate students are welcome, and students are
eligible for the Helmut Esau Prize, a $250 cash award made annually for
the best student paper.
*         Abstracts should be 250-500 words; over-long abstracts will
not be considered.  Abstracts should summarize the main points of the
paper and describe key aspects of the data, methodology, and
argumentation.  Use of special font items such as phonetic symbols or
branching diagrams should be kept to a bare minimum.  Abstracts will be
published as received in a booklet for distribution at the meeting.
*         At the beginning of the abstract, write the title of the
paper.  At the end of the abstract, repeat the title and also list the
author's name (if more than one author, list names in the order they
should appear in the program), academic affiliation, mailing address,
telephone number, and e-mail address.
*         It is essential that the cover message also include the e-mail
address, telephone number, and postal address where the author may be
reached during the summer.
*         Abstracts should be e-mailed to <pjgingiss at uh.edu
<mailto:mgarcia at utsa.edu> > as a Microsoft Word attachment, or, if Word
is not available, as an RTF or ASCII file.  Note that IPA symbols and
other special font items often do not travel well electronically.  In
addition to sending the abstract as an attachment, please paste the text
of the abstract into the e-mail message itself.  Authors who do not have
access to e-mail may send a disk copy with a paper copy of their
abstract to Peter Gingiss, Department of English, University of Houston,
Houston, TX 77204-3012.
*         Submitters will receive an e-mail reply notifying them that
their abstracts have been received and will be considered.  If such
notification has not been received within one week, that means the
abstract did not reach its destination and should be resent. 
*         Authors will be notified by early July as to whether their
papers have or have not been accepted.
*         Participation in LASSO is a privilege of membership; this
means that an individual must be a current member in order to be listed
in the conference program.
