Call for proposals for units and workshops, LingFest 2008

[Jane Simpson]

LINGFEST 2008 at Sydney Uni - call for course and workshop proposals

The Australian Linguistics Institute will be held July 7-11, 2008 in
conjunction with meetings of ALAA, ALS, LFG, & ISCF

The Organising Committee is now soliciting proposals for courses and
workshops.  We are particularly interested in courses that will appeal to
a wide audience.

Course format: 1.5 hr. per day, meeting each day July 7-11.
Workshops: negotiable between 30 June and 13 July

Remuneration:

Last year's ALI finished in a debit situation. Because of a very tight
financial situation next year, we are unable to guarantee a level of
remuneration for presenters.  We will certainly provide a waiver of
registration fees to ALI.  If the funding situation permits, partial or
full reimbursement will be offered for local accommodation and travel
from within Australia.  We will also hep seek sponsorship for courses.

Proposals:

Proposals should be a single double-spaced page, max 250 words, in the
following format:

1. Course Title,
2. Presenter's name and affiliation,
3. Brief course description, including course aims and a list of topics
covered,
4. Expected audience (e.g. postgraduates, advanced undergraduates, no
specialized background, ...),
5. A short list of readings.

Please send your proposal as an MS-word or PDF email attachment to Ian
Smith <iansmith at yorku.ca>

Deadline Mar. 19, 2007.

on behalf of the ALI Organizing Committee
