CALL FOR PAPERS 
Siouan and Caddoan Languages Conference 
June 11-14, 2009 
Lincoln, Nebraska 
Hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln 
Department of Anthropology 

???????????????????????????????????? 


Papers and presentations are invited on topics from any Siouan or Caddoan language. This includes all areas of linguistics (e.g., phonetics, phonology, syntax, grammar, semantics), cultural linguistics (e.g., code-switching, language & identity, language revitalization, language ideology, language shift), and language instruction (e.g., teaching methods, immersion activities, assessment & outcomes, community outreach). 

Student papers are welcome. 

We are a congenial group of linguists, scholars, students, community members, and native language instructors. We schedule a single session at a time so everyone is able to attend all presentations and join in the discussions. 

General paper sessions will follow the traditional 20 minute presentation followed by a short question/answer period. At the end of each session there will be additional time for questions and discussion. Appropriate technology support is available. 

Send a working abstract of your paper or presentation BY FRIDAY MAY 1st, 2009 to the local conference organizer:
