LASSO Membership:

Participation in LASSO is a privilege of membership; this means that
an individual must be a current member in order to present a paper and
be listed in the conference program. The 2011 membership application
can be found at http://clas.ucdenver.edu/lasso/LASSO_renewal.pdf or
you may fill out a membership form at the same time you register for
the conference online. Membership includes a subscription to the
Southwest Journal of Linguistics.

2nd Call for Papers:

Deadline for abstract/proposal submission: June 1, 2011

Submission of Abstracts and Proposals:

Abstracts for papers or posters in any area of linguistics are
welcome, as are proposals dealing with language issues of special
interest in the Southwest. Proposals for complete panels with 2-4
speakers are also welcome.

Submissions by graduate students are welcome, and students are
eligible for the Helmut Esau Prize, which includes a $400 cash award.

Deadline for abstract/proposal submission is June 1, 2011. Early
submission of panel proposals is desirable.

Presentation Format:

Presentation time for papers will be 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for
discussion. Abstracts may be in English or Spanish. Presentations
should be given in the same language as the abstract. Only one
abstract as single author and a second as co-author will be accepted
from any one individual.

Abstract Format:

Abstracts should be 250-500 words, single-spaced in 12 point Times New
Roman font. Abstracts should summarize the main points and indicate
key aspects of the data and methodology. Use of special font items
should be kept to a minimum. In general, omit the bibliography.
Abstracts will be distributed via the Internet as received.

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. If the author will not be available at his/her
usual address or e-mail during the summer, provide summer contact
information in the cover e-mail. Also note whether any A-V equipment
will be needed.

Abstract Submission:

Abstracts should be e-mailed to lasso2011utbgmail.com as a PDF or
Microsoft Word (doc or docx). Special font items travel best as a PDF.
In addition to sending the abstract as an attachment, please paste the
text of the abstract into the e-mail message itself.

Authors without access to e-mail may mail a disk copy accompanied by a
paper copy to:

Holly Cashman
Assistant Professor of Spanish
Murkland 210G
Dept. of Languages, Literatures & Cultures
University of New Hampshire
Durham, NH 03824

Authors will receive a reply notifying them that their abstracts are
under consideration. If such notification has not been received within
one week, the abstract did not reach its destination and should be
resent. Authors will be notified by late July as to whether their
papers have been accepted.
