Meeting Description:

The Workshop on Structure and Constituency in Languages of the Americas
(WSCLA) is an annual linguistics conference, which started in 1995. The
central objective of WSCLA is to bring together linguists who are engaged in
research on the formal study of the Aboriginal languages of the Americas in
order to exchange ideas across theories, language families, generations of
scholars, and across the academic and non-academic communities who are
involved in language maintenance and revitalization.

Invited Speakers:

Amy Rose Deal
Alana Johns 
Nicholas Welch 

Invited Student Speaker:

Clarissa Forbes

We expect a volume of conference proceedings to appear in the UBCWPL series.


2nd Call for Papers:

Abstracts are invited for papers in any area of formal linguistics (including
phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics) within
any theoretical framework. We welcome papers that address diachronic,
sociolinguistic, or applied topics from a formal perspective, and we are
especially interested in papers seeking to correlate the interests of formal
linguists and the concerns of indigenous communities.

Abstract submission guidelines:

Please submit your abstract for a paper in .pdf format following the
requirements listed below, before midnight EST on January 30 2017.

- Abstracts should be anonymous. Author name(s) should not appear in the
abstract or file name.
- Abstracts should not exceed 2 pages in length including references and
examples (minimum 12 pt font size, 1 inch margins).
- Submissions are limited to two abstracts per author, including at most one
single-authored abstract. (In other words, you may contribute to two
co-authored abstracts, or one co-authored abstract plus one single-authored
abstract.)
- E-mail address for abstract submission and general inquiry: wscla.22 at ubc.ca
