Papers:

Theme: The New Empiricism in Linguistics
Call Deadline: August 15th, 2007

The University of Texas at Austin is pleased to invite submissions for
the 11th annual meeting of the Texas Linguistics Society, to be held
November 9-11, 2007.

The theme of this year's conference will be "The New Empiricism in
Linguistics."  The conference seeks to focus on recent developments in
the usage and gathering of linguistic data, and the use of
data-intensive methods to inform and refine linguistic theory across a
wide variety of subdisciplines including but not limited to
syntax, semantics, phonology, morphology, and historical linguistics.

Submissions are encouraged from researchers working in any area of
linguistics where the availability of large and novel sources of data is
having an impact on theoretical conclusions in the field.

Submissions will also be welcomed that offer principled discussions of
the methodological and theoretical issues that may be raised by the use
of these novel sources of data.

Invited Speakers Include:
David Beaver (University of Texas at Austin)
John Goldsmith (University of Chicago)
Katrin Erk (University of Texas at Austin)
Roger Levy (UCSD)

Please limit abstracts to two pages including data and references.
Also, please limit submissions to two papers with at most one
single-authored paper.  Abstracts should be sent to
tls at uts.cc.utexas.edu <mailto:tls at uts.cc.utexas.edu> no later than August
15th, 2007  All submissions will be peer-reviewed.
