Despite many years of research, grammatical gender still is 'one of the most interesting and difficult of the grammatical categories' (as Corbett says in a recent publication). This two-day workshop is intended for linguists who share the interest and appreciate the difficulties in the phenomenon of grammatical gender. 

We invite presentations on any subject in the field, but especially on one of the following topics: 

- Development and decline of gender systems 
- Semantics of gender (distribution, loss and gain) 
- Gender agreement 
- Gender in contact 
- Gender in processing and acquisition 

The following keynote speakers have confirmed their participation: 

Greville Corbett (University of Surrey) 
Östen Dahl (Stockholm University) 
Hans-Olav Enger (University of Stavanger) 
Anna Thornton (University of L'Aquila) 
Peter Siemund (University of Hamburg) 

In order to ensure the interactivity of the workshop, presentations will be 30 minutes plus 15 minutes discussion. Please send your abstract as a Word or PDF document to:

or as hard copy to 

J. Audring 
Faculteit der Letteren, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam 
De Boelelaan 1105

ABSTRACT FORMAT AND CONTENT

Abstracts submitted must represent original, unpublished research.

Abstracts longer than 450 words will be rejected without being evaluated. Please note the word count at the bottom of the abstract. Note that words counts need not include the abstract title or the list of references.

A suggested format and style for abstracts is available at:
http://www.bu.edu/linguistics/APPLIED/BUCLD/template.html

An excellent example of how to formulate the content of the abstract can be found on the LSA website at:
http://www.lsadc.org/info/dec02bulletin/model.html

The criteria used by the reviewers to evaluate abstracts can be found at:
 http://www.bu.edu/linguistics/APPLIED/BUCLD/reviewprocess.html#rate

All abstracts must be submitted as PDF documents. Specific instructions for how to create PDF documents are available at:
http://www.bu.edu/linguistics/APPLIED/BUCLD/pdfinfo.html.

If you encounter a problem creating a PDF file, please contact us for further assistance.

Please use the first author's last name as the file name (eg. Smith.pdf). No author information should appear anywhere in the contents of the PDF file itself.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Electronic submission: To facilitate the abstract submission process, abstracts will be submitted using the form available at the conference website at http://www.bu.edu/linguistics/APPLIED/BUCLD/abstract.htm.
Specific instructions for abstract submission are available on this website.
Abstracts will be accepted between April 1 and May 15.

Contact information for each author must be submitted via webform. No author information should appear anywhere in the abstract PDF.
At the time of submission you will be asked whether you would like your abstract to be considered for a poster, a paper, or both.

Although each author may submit as many abstracts as desired, we will accept for presentation by each author: (a) a maximum of 1 first authored paper/poster, and (b) a maximum of 2 papers/posters in any authorship status. Note that no changes in authorship (including deleting an author or changing author order) will be possible after the review process is completed or for publication in the conference proceedings.

DEADLINE

All submissions must be received by 8:00 PM EST, May 15, 2006.
Late abstracts will not be considered, whatever the reason for the delay.
We regret that we cannot accept abstract submissions by fax or email.

Submissions via surface mail will only be accepted in special circumstances, on a case by case basis. Please contact us well in advance of the submission deadline (May 15, 2006) to make these arrangements.

ABSTRACT SELECTION

Each abstract is blind reviewed by 5 reviewers from a panel of approximately 100 international scholars. Further information about the review process is available  at http://www.bu.edu/linguistics/APPLIED/BUCLD/reviewprocess.html.

Acknowledgment of receipt of the abstract will be sent by email as soon as possible after receipt. Notice of acceptance or rejection will be sent to first authors only, in early August, by email. Pre-registration materials and preliminary schedule will be available in late August, 2006.

If your abstract is accepted, you will need to submit a 150-word abstract including title, author(s) and affiliation(s) for inclusion in the conference handbook. Guidelines will be provided along with notification of acceptance.
Abstracts accepted as papers will be invited for publication in the BUCLD Proceedings. Abstracts accepted as posters will be invited for publication online only, but not in the printed version.

All conference papers will be selected on the basis of abstracts submitted. Although each abstract will be evaluated individually, we will attempt to honor requests to schedule accepted papers together in group sessions. No schedule changes will be possible once the schedule is set. Scheduling requests for religious reasons only must be made before the review process is complete (i.e. at the time of submission). A space is provided on the abstract submission webform to specify such requests.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $52,932. This money will go to help keep the 
List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 2006 
LINGUIST List Cruise for some Fund Drive fun!

http://linguistlist.org/cruise.html 

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form.

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later.

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to donate by 
check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can 
receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit 
organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more 
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift 
you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human 
resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns 
to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the 
value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
