Full Title: Organized Session on Biolinguistics at LSA 2011 

Date: 06-Jan-2011 - 09-Jan-2011
Location: Pittsburgh, PA, USA 
Contact Person: Bridget Samuels
Meeting Email: bridget at umd.edu

Linguistic Field(s): Discipline of Linguistics; General Linguistics 

Other Specialty: Biolinguistics 

Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2010 

Meeting Description:

In conjunction with the LSA Special Interest Group on Biolinguistics, we invite
the submission of abstracts for a proposed Organized Session on Biolinguistics
at the 2011 LSA Annual Meeting (Pittsburgh, January 6-9). The goal of
biolinguistics is to explore theories of language that are biologically
plausible as part of an effort to explain how the faculty of language arises
ontogenetically and phylogenetically. 

Call for Papers

We invite abstracts on any aspect of the biolinguistic enterprise, keeping in
mind that the Special Interest Group on Biolinguistics was founded in part to
"contribute to the field by helping to identify what makes biolinguistics 'bio'
(and 'linguistic'), initiate discussions on how it differs from previous models
of generative grammar (and how it doesn't), debate whether generative grammar is
actually a prerequisite? and so on."

Abstracts should be between 200-500 words and need not be anonymous. (The LSA
reviews Organized Session proposals non-anonymously.) Please, no more than one
single-authored and one joint-authored abstract per person. All participants are
required to be LSA members. However, anyone may submit an abstract, so long as
they join the LSA if they ultimately present.

We plan to have a symposium format, so if you are interested in being a
discussant, please also let us know by April 15.

Abstracts are due April 15, 2010.
Please send abstracts, preferably in .PDF format, to:
Kleanthes Grohmann - kleanthi at ucy.ac.cy
Bridget Samuels - bridget at umd.edu

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!
