[Stephen Dickey]

CALL FOR PAPERS
Seventh ANNUAL MEETING of the Slavic Linguistics Society

Where: Lawrence, Kansas, USA
When: 25–27 August 2012	
We invite you to submit abstracts to the seventh meeting of the Slavic Linguistics Society, to be held on the campus of The University of Kansas, in Lawrence, Kansas, USA 25–27 August 2012.

Keynote speakers:

Brian Joseph (The Ohio University)
Catherine Rudin (Wayne State University)
Alan Timberlake (UC Berkeley / Columbia University)

The purpose of SLS is to create a community of students and scholars interested in Slavic linguistics, that is, the systematic and scholarly study of the Slavic languages. The Society aspires to be as open and inclusive as possible; no school, framework, approach, or theory is presupposed, nor is there any restriction in terms of geography, academic affiliation or status.

Papers dealing with any aspect of Slavic linguistics and within any framework are appropriate, as well as those that represent cross-disciplinary approaches (sociolinguistics, computational linguistics, language acquisition, etc.). The only restriction is that all papers should address an issue pertaining to Slavic linguistics. All talks will be for 20 minutes, plus 10 minutes for discussion. We encourage everyone to participate and ask you to share this announcement with as many colleagues and students as possible.

Abstracts are due by 15 January 2012. Please send your abstracts to smdsls7 at gmail.com.

All abstracts will be refereed and participants will be notified by the end of February 2012.

For more information, please see: http://www2.ku.edu/~slavic/conference/or send e-mail to: kusls2012 at gmail.com
