Meeting Description:

SAMLA Linguistics Session
SAMLA Annual Convention
November 4-6, 2011
Atlanta, GA

Language both relays and responds to the role of power in modern society as evidenced through the linguistic analysis of both spoken and written language both synchronically and diachronically. The theme of the conference is 'Power and Poetry in the Modern World'. 

Call for Papers:

With the themes of the conference in mind, the SAMLA linguistics session welcomes submissions of proposals on the connection and role of language to power, poetics, and the modern world, inviting papers from all linguistic disciplines that deal with the intersections of language and power and language and the modern world. Topics may include but are not limited to: language change in modern society; language and power (social/political/economic); and language, gender, and power.

Abstracts of 300 words (excluding references) in .doc or pdf format should be emailed to rchilds at coastal.edu by June 15, 2011.

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!
