Meeting Description:

BLS 31 Call for Papers

The conference will consist of a General Session, a Parasession and a
Special Session. It will be held from February 18 to February 20, 2005. 

General Session

The General Session will cover all areas of linguistic interest. We
encourage proposals from diverse theoretical frameworks and also welcome
papers on language-related topics from disciplines such as Anthropology,
Cognitive Science, Literature, Neuroscience and Psychology.

Invited speakers: 
Sandra Chung, University of California, Santa Cruz
Eve Clark, Stanford University
Nick Evans, University of Melbourne

Parasession: Prosodic Variation and Change

The Parasession aims to explore synchronic variation and historical change
in all areas of prosody, including syllable structure, metrical structure,
stress, accent, tone, and intonation.  We invite submissions addressing
pathways and general principles of prosodic change.  In addition, we invite
papers on prosodic variation, broadly construed: across related languages
and dialects, within an individual's grammar, and within speech
communities. Papers from a wide range of perspectives are encouraged.

Invited speakers:
José Hualde, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Paul Kiparsky, Stanford University 

Special Session: Languages of West Africa

The Special Session will discuss languages of West Africa (from Cameroon
west).  We welcome submissions on all aspects of West African languages,
including syntax, semantics, phonology, phonetics, morphology, pragmatics,
historical issues, and sociolinguistics. We particularly encourage papers
on minority and understudied languages, language contact, and
cross-linguistic comparison.
