Meeting Description:

The Linguistics Society at the University of Georgia (LSUGA) announces the
Third Annual Linguistics Conference at UGA (LCUGA 3). Following the tradition
of previous LSUGA conferences, we invite presentations which span linguistics
subfields as well as incorporate interdisciplinary research from other areas
of the sciences and humanities.

This year we are proud to welcome three plenary speakers from diverse
backgrounds in linguistics: Dr. John Hale (Cornell), Dr. Allison Burkette (Ole
Miss), and Dr. David Medeiros (U. of Arizona).


2nd Call for Papers: 

The central focus of this year's conference will be ''The Lexicon,'' broadly
construed. In keeping with this focus, we encourage presentations from any
subdiscipline of linguistics which address the kinds of information
(phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, etc.) that might be encoded
in the mental lexicon, in addition to papers dealing with considerations of
(e.g.) diachronic changes in the lexicons of individual languages, the
influence of sociolinguistic variables on lexical variation, lexical variation
in linguistic corpora, the lexical status of fixed expressions such as idioms,
and the mental and/or biological organization of the lexicon itself.

Although preference will be given to high-quality submissions which address
our central focus, we also welcome presentations on any topic relevant to the
field of linguistics writ large. We especially welcome presentations concerned
with the interfaces between different modules of the grammar (e.g., the
syntax-phonology interface), and those which draw on methodologies associated
with multiple subfields or which are collaborative or interdisciplinary in
nature.

Applicants are welcome to submit up to two abstracts, one single-authored and
one co-authored contribution. Presenters will be allotted 20 minutes, plus
5-10 minutes of discussion.

Abstract guidelines: 

Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (not including title and references);
any examples should be incorporated into the text of the abstract with
relevant figures, charts, and/or graphs included on a single separate page.
Abstracts must be in PDF format, and must not include any personally
identifying information. Submissions that do not comply with the above
guidelines will not be considered for acceptance. Please send abstracts
meeting the above criteria to ugalinguistics at gmail.com.

For questions and inquiries regarding LCUGA 3, please see our website
www.lsuga.com or email ugalinguistics at gmail.com.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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!
