LFG 2008 - First call for papers (revised)

[Helge Lodrup]

The story is a short one; it was recently decided by the Executive
Committee of the International Lexical Functional Grammar Association.

The idea is to give as many people as possible a chance to present their
work, and, as Rachel says, it seems to be standard at conferences.

Best, Helge (Lødrup)

>> Dear all,

>> there a grave danger of there being a number of  evil :-) individuals
>> submitting 12 abstracts each, all in danger of getting accepted through

>> Seriously, shouldn't such matters simply be decided via open competition
