Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 20-Jun-2010 

Meeting Description:

All areas of linguistics, language issues of special interest in the Southwest, 
special interest topic centering on Spanish for Heritage speakers, special 
interest topic focusing on Spanish West of the Mississippi. 

2nd Call For Papers

Deadline extended to: June 20, 2010 

Abstracts for papers or posters in any area of linguistics are welcome, as 
are proposals dealing with language issues of special interest in the 
Southwest. Proposals for complete panels with 2-4 speakers are also 
welcome.

We will have two special interest topics for the conference. The first centers 
on Spanish for Heritage speakers. This will consist of panel discussions and 
dialogs focusing on current issues in heritage language instruction for those 
who have had exposure to Spanish at home or in the community. The 
second, Spanish West of the Mississippi, is dedicated to research on not 
only on varieties of the language found in the 'traditional' Southwest, but 
also in those western regions in which the presence of Spanish speakers is 
a relatively recent phenomenon. For more information on these special 
interest topics contact Daniel Villa at New Mexico State University, 
dvilla at nmsu.edu 

Deadline for submission extended to June 20, 2010.

Presentation time for papers will be 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for 
discussion. Abstracts may be in English or Spanish. Presentations should 
be given in the same language as the abstract. Only one abstract as single 
author and a second as co-author will be accepted from any one individual.

Submissions by graduate students are welcome, and students are eligible 
for the Helmut Esau Prize, which includes a $400 cash award.

Abstracts should be 250-500 words, single-spaced in 12 point Times New 
Roman font. Abstracts should summarize the main points and indicate key 
aspects of the data and methodology. Use of special font items should be 
kept to a minimum. In general, omit the bibliography. Abstracts will be 
distributed via the Internet as received. 

At the beginning of the abstract, write the title of the paper. At the end of 
the abstract, repeat the title and also list the author's name (if more than 
one author, list names in the order they should appear in the program), 
academic affiliation, mailing address, telephone number, and e-mail. If the 
author will not be available at his/her usual address or e-mail during the 
summer, provide summer contact information in the cover e-mail. Also note 
whether any A-V equipment will be needed.

Abstracts should be e-mailed to lasso.nmsu at gmail.com as a PDF, Microsoft 
Word, RTF, or text file attachment. 

Special font items travel best as a PDF. In addition to sending the abstract 
as an attachment, please paste the text of the abstract into the e-mail 
message itself.

Authors without access to e-mail may mail a disk copy accompanied by a 
paper copy to:

María Irene Moyna
Texas A&M University
Department of Hispanic Studies
302B Academic Building
College Station, TX 77843-4238

Authors will receive a reply notifying them that their abstracts are under 
consideration. If such notification has not been received within one week, 
the abstract did not reach its destination and should be resent. Authors will 
be notified by late July as to whether their papers have been accepted.

Participation in LASSO is a privilege of membership; this means that an 
individual must be a current member in order to present a paper and be 
listed in the conference program. You may fill out a membership form at the 
same time you register for the conference online. Membership includes a 
subscription to the Southwest Journal of Linguistics.
