We invite submissions of abstracts for oral presentations at General Sessions in
all areas of linguisitics and frameworks as well as Three Thematic Discussion
Sessions, each of which will have space for six presentations. 

We also invite abstracts for oral or poster presentations at the general
sessions which need not necessarily be related to the conference theme.

Each oral presentation in both General and Special Thematic sessions will be
given 30 minutes, including 10 minutes for discussion. Poster presentations will
be an integral part of the conference programme. The language of the conference

The thematic discussion sessions will take place on Friday, 24 September

the session themes. 

The keynote address will be delivered by William Labov (University of Pennsylvania)

website.

All abstracts (both for the thematic sessions and the general session) should be
submitted through Linguist List's EasyAbs system. Upon registration in EasyAbs,
the author will first upload the abstract and then select the submission type
from the drop-down menu (thematic discussion sessions or

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!
