Creole languages or other contact languages are invited, beginning 1st 
June, 2010, for anonymous review by a five member panel. 

2.) Conditions: 
Any member may submit one single-author abstract. There is not a limit on 
the number of coauthored abstracts. After an abstract has been submitted, 
changes of author, affiliation, title, or wording of the abstract, other than
