Meeting Description:

The second biennial African American Language Conference will take place
November 2-3, 2010, in San Antonio, TX, immediately preceding NWAV 39 (which
will be November 4-7, 2010). This year's AAL conference theme is "AAL in Pop
Culture: Intersections among Language, Education, Music, Media, and Sports." 

Call for Papers

This year's AAL conference theme is "AAL in Pop Culture: Intersections among
Language, Education, Music, Media, and Sports." We invite submission of
abstracts for papers and posters in all areas of language research related to
our theme. Multidisciplinary, multimethods, and collaborative scholarship are
all welcome. Abstracts not exceeding 300 words (excluding title and references)
should be submitted electronically at http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/AAL2010
no later than May 5, 2010. Authors may submit one singly authored and one
jointly-authored abstract or two jointly-authored abstracts. Submissions will be
reviewed anonymously. 

We are also accepting proposals for a limited number of panels/interactive
symposia. Organizers should submit 400-word abstracts describing the
panel/interactive symposia theme and individual 300-word abstracts for each
participant.

The expected outcome of this conference is an edited collection of cutting-edge,
seminal, and vibrant scholarship in AAL research. As such, all accepted
abstracts must have completed papers submitted by October 14, 2010, with revised
final drafts due two months after reviewer comments are received by the authors.

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!
