Call Deadline: 01-Jun-2003

Meeting Description:

The 32st Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Association of the Southwest
will be hosted by the University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA), located
in the subtropical Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas from Friday,
October 17 to Sunday, October 19, 2003. This year's theme is
''Crossing Linguistic Borders.''  (Papers in all areas of linguistics
will be accepted, as usual). The Plenary Speakers will be Joshua
. Fishman, rofessor Emeritus from Yeshiva University, General Editor
of the International Journal of the Sociology of Language, and author
of numerous works, who will speak on ''Distancing and Interaction: The
Status Agenda in Corpus Planning'' and Jos G.  Moreno de Alba,
research fellow of the Instituto de Investigaciones Filolgicas and
professor at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and author of
numerous books on Spanish in the Americas, whose topic is ''El Atlas
Lingüístico de México.'' Peter Gingiss, from the University of
Houston, will deliver the Presidential Address.

The conference will be held on the campus of UTPA in the University
Library. Edinburg, in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, is central to
several areas of interest.  These include the resort areas of South
Padre Island, usually very nice in October, and Mexican border towns,
such as where Reynosa, shopping and restaurants abound. Monterrey,
Mexico is only three hours driving from Edinburg, for those interested
in more than the border region.  In addition, there are abundant
opportunities for hunting and fishing; ecotourism is also a big draw
as the LRGV hosts approximately 500 species of birds.  October is also
the month to view numerous butterflies in the Texas Butterfly Festival
in Mission (next door to Edinburg).  This area of the U.S. is among
the fastest growing suburban-metropolitan areas of the country.

All proposals for papers, special sessions, panels, or other program
features should be submitted by JUNE 1, 2003 by e-mail at:
<ellyvangelderen at asu.edu > or regular Mail : Dr. Elly vanGelderen
Arizona State University English Department Tempe, AZ 85287-0302,USA
