   We are seeking papers that:
             - speak to the relationship between linguistic
                        functionalism and formalism; or
             - highlight the advantages or drawbacks of some
			functional or formal approach; or
             - provide analyses of the same data from multiple
			perspectives; or
             - explore the basic assumptions about language and
			cognition that underlie the two approaches; or
             - trace the history of one or both approaches; or
             - offer general discussions of the formalist-
			functionalist dichotomy and its implications; or
             - otherwise throw light on the similarities and
			differences between the two approaches and their
			assessment.
        Papers will be 20 minutes long, with a 10 minute discussion period
   to follow. Please send 8 copies of an anonymous abstract and a small
   (3x5) card containing the title of the paper and your name, affiliation,
   and address. The abstract may be up to one typed page, with figures
   and references allowed on a second page. Since we need a camera-ready
   copy for reproduction in the meeting handbook if accepted, we prefer
   regular mail over email or fax.
        A selection of the conference papers, supplemented with some invited
   contributions, will be published by John Benjamins in a set of
   volumes edited by Michael Darnell, Edith Moravcsik, Frederick Newmeyer,
   and Michael Noonan.
