Second Annual
Shenandoah Language and Linguistics Society Symposium

Southern Virginia College
March 16-17, 2000

Keynote Speaker:
John P. Broderick, Old Dominion University
Language and Consciousness: Some Insights from Research on Discourse
Intonation

The Shenandoah Language and Linguistics Society Symposium is issuing a
call for papers for their upcoming symposium. The theme for this year 
is Revealing Language. The ambiguity of the phrase evokes possibilities 
for an interdisciplinary array of papers: both papers on language as a
tool for revealing insights into literature, culture, and life and
papers that reveal insights about language.

The conference welcomes papers treating a variety of topics in language
and linguistics. This includes not only papers treating topics within 
linguistic disciplines such as phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, 
pragmatics, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, and applied
linguistics, but also interdisciplinary presentations that involve
language analysis.

Deadline for submitting an abstract: January 15, 2000
Abstracts may be submitted by mail, fax or e-mail. (see accompanying
submission form)

Southern Virginia College. Buena Vista, Virginia 24416.
