[Jane Simpson]

*ALS 2004: FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS*

The Australian Linguistics Society is holding its Annual Conference
(ALS2004) at the University of Sydney, in Sancta Sophia College, 13-15 July 2004.

ALS 2004 welcomes work on any area of general linguistics, whether
descriptive, typological, theoretical, sociolinguistic.  Previous
conferences have usually had a good selection of papers on languages of
Australia and the Pacific.

The main conference sessions will involve 30-minute talks (20 min. + 10
min. discussion). Presentations should describe original, unpublished
work.  As well, there will be workshops, including one on
different approaches to historical linguistics.  Papers for workshops
will be arranged by the workshop convenors.

SUBMISSION SPECIFICATIONS
Submissions should be in the form of abstracts only.  Abstracts can be
up to 500 words in length and should include a title.  They must be
received by March 1, 2004.

You can submit your abstract by e-mail (als2004 at arts.usyd.edu.au),  or by
regular mail.

we'd also like you to e-mail us just to say that you've sent an abstract
(als2004 at arts.usyd.edu.au).
